    She is coming on good, work with second hull lanking has turned out nice and smooth, with the false deck - dont worry too much as long as its flat and you start wirh a plank down the center, you will not notice the gap. OC.

    Hello everyone, so I was able to get the phone camera and took a couple of shots of the work to the forward section that I was working on, I have also added a small narrow strip along the inside rounded edge of the forecastle deck, this was annoying as the strip was so thin and brittle, it broke even after heat bending, anyway I managed to shape the two halves and glued them in place secured by a couple of pegs. Heres the pics. OC.

    I did a bit more work on my deck fittings but decided to turn my attention to building two front (under forecastle deck) bulwark partition wood walls, I first found some scrap ply that had a smooth surface, then after making a rough template - I marked the incline of the two hull inside hull bulwarks. Next I cut the piece into two equlal sections (almost like mirror images of each other) then glued them to the underside lip of the forecstle deck piece, when the glue had set I made some wood trim pieces out of 1mm x 1mm and glued these inplace along the edges, then set it aside to set. I couldn't take any pics as the mobile phone was in use by the admiral. I couldn't have used my other dslr camera as thats currently up for sale. OC.

    Hello all, I decided to have a bash at the forward gun port lids, these were made up from thin planking - I joined two lengths together that when joined they were the correct width of the gun ports, when glued I cut them to the correct length. After a little sanding to get a snug fit I placed them and glued them from the inside, after applying some heat to speed up securing I fashioned some hinges from very very thin strips of off cuts, next I applied a few coats of dull black and red ocre edges and inside. I also finished working on an inside frame for the poop deck stairs. Here are a few pictures. OC.

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.
