    Thanks carl, I had to shape the tops of the bits to allow for the rope tie offs, not easy at 100scale. OC.

    Thanks kev. OC.

    Yep on both the forecastle deck and poop deck, the bits continue through the deck down onto the main gun deck, also under the poop deck there should have been the frame and shoe to take the bowsprit, but due to the construction on my kit, this part is boxed in. OC.

    Think you will need about 10-20 servings for all your shipmates on here OC.

    Evening everyone, after fitting my forecastle bits I came across an "upss moment" - I had the bits to close to the edge of the forecastle deck, not leaving much room for the ships bell/frame, so I decided to re fit it on the other side of the mast, and instead fitted two single bit frames without the cross piece. I then turned my attention to the rear poop deck - this has a ladder running up from the quarter deck, up through the poop deck, I had to cut this out with my sharp knife then a little sanding, next I constructed a frame for the opening and glued the four pieces in place, it will need filing to make the edges square and smooth. Here are a few pics. OC.

    Looking good, you are on the right track, the thing I have discovered with wood kit building - its all about practice and repertition, the more kits and time at the bench - the better you/I and everyone become. OC.
  12. Old Collingwood
    Superb. OC.
  13. Old Collingwood

    Ok everyone I give in here are some pics - the bits show the glue waiting to dry. Oh foregot to mention - the captains cabin facia was made up form oddments I had, then put together and painted. OC.

    Sorry for delay in replying, I foregot to check my own thread Hand is not to bad I have good and bad days depends if I am using my left hand much - holding stuff thats when it starts to play up and my fingers lock, however on good days it gives me less trouble. Im doing some gentle light work at the moment - building the bits and fitting them through the forecastle deck down into the front of the gundeck. Not really any pics as I am waiting to progress a little further. OC.

  18. Old Collingwood
    That is looking rather nice EJ really nice build you have going on there, the fact that you create your own carvings is even more credit to you. OC.
  19. Old Collingwood
    Thank you for looking in, although im not working on her at the moment, its great having you have a look at what I have done so far. OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Stunning work bob, she is just like a scalled down version of the real ship - museum quality without a doubt. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    She is looking grand all the assembliess and sub assemblies coming together now, such a neat job. And regarding your margin - I like it a lot it looks so correct. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Your doing a great job kev, keep remembering the sheer scale of her, that makes it all the more remarkable what you are doing. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    That looks the business superb painting kev. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
