    Evening all - "Engine Time" - the power plant in the kit is quite complex and is a kit in its self, some nice sub assemblies are built first.

    Evening all, some more progress - I added a few more details to the engine bay, then I decided to have a go at the drivers compartment, I wasn't too sure how this would turn out as I had used some of the parts for my Chally build, one of the main areas was the right hand bulkhead - this I managed to manufacture using some other parts from the kit, the rest of the parts are mainly there - still needs an instument panel making up from scratch. OC.

    Evening all, got some good progress on this today, to continue with scratching some of the bulkheads - I had to install the running gear, to fit these I had to drill through one of the bulkeads, then after careful leaveling of all the legs, I was then able to make a bulkhead out of panels - this was fitted on the one side of the bay. OC.

    Evening all, so work begins on this "bemoth" I decided to start in the engine bay (its going to be a bit of a hit or miss as I used some of the parts from this kit to make the interior in my Chally 2 kit - but I should be able to work around it and scratch some parts. Some nice detail that will weather nicely when I get to that stage. OC.
  22. Old Collingwood
    Happy what ever you fancy doing brother - I could make a start and if you fancy starting - that would be good. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Sometimes PE just adds more headache and problems - looking really good brother. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Folks I brought this kit last year and although I used some of the parts to make the interior for for my Chally 2, I still have enough in this kit to make a decent model including the engine/engine bay. I thought I would have a break from my Hood mini ship build as I needed a break from mini world. Just a pic of the box for now. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Very nice work Alan - keeping it true to the real ship and sharp modeling mate. 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.
