    Looking tidy, the oak planks do look realistic looking from a ship of the period, just looking at Victory's lower gun deck she had the same look of her decks. OC.

    Evening folks, I have spent a good couple of days finishing off the hull paintwork - I painted the other lower hull side, then applied the white/black lower transom relief area, and also did some tidy-up work on the wale, last I applied the top black on the stem. So appart from a few tiny adjustments and working on the hull/top bulkhead rails and some decoration, the hull is nearly comlete (on the outside). Oh - and the rudder and the stem frame work/figurehead/ anchor howser framework, etc etc. OC.

    I so nearly had one of these but changed my mind at last minute due to service/insurance/running costs etc. OC.

    She is looking Superb really beautiful work you should be very proud of your self. OC.

    Looking good - are you going to leave the bulkheads as a internal planking guide or remove them, they do not look to wide to do that. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    Sound just like how my situation was - sanding dust going everywhere, the Admiral was non too pleased. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    I did reply to you admiring the work you have done on the hull, but it vanished (must have been those tiny gremlins ......sure I saw them pinch my post)...... OC.

    Thanks mate OC.
  20. Old Collingwood
    Thanks carl, I just thought it looked a little narrow not thickness wise but width. OC.
  21. Old Collingwood
    After doing a laptop change and transfering over all my files and 1000s of photos files, I am done now and all eyes to see folks postings. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Question folks - does my wale look a little to narrow? OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    WOW what an amazing job looks so realistic, sorry for keep repeating myself, you amaze me with what you are doing, perfection in modeling. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Coming along really nicely, its amazing the transformation from putting our first few lengths of planks, to closing up the hull, a real sense of achievemnet I think. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Managed to put about 5 coats on the hull it hasn't come up to bad. 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.
