    i have just had the same issue with the transom timbers, a 1/48 build does not like being moved around
  17. Kevin
    Good evening everyone after a few good days on the build, yesterday i went backwards, the fwd mast step went into the wrong position and set before i realised, and then i varnished the internal decking with the wrong varnish, i was gutted, i dont even know how i allowed myself to do it today was much better the fwd mast step was salvaged, and although it might be a couple mm more fwd than it should be im pleased with it the two decks line up with it, and i seam to have plenty of room to put the number 1 deck beam in and the breast hook (please correct me if im wrong) nothing i can do with the varnish, oh hum (another monster) tomorrow i will cleam up all the forward frames so they look better in the photo's

    Good evening today the planking between the two decks was sorted, this should be ready tomorrow, when the excess fine filler on the simulated fixings has beeb wiped away, then i have to decide whats next

    good evening everyone plans were to continue with the internal planking, But i very quickly realised i need to do the transom, i rebuilt the after part of the building cradle, and ensured everything was still lined up i have messed the last two frames up, but for now i am going with it, and regret later not sorting it now
  31. Kevin
    i am aware that there is no masting kit for this, but i dont see any slots in the keel to take one if you went that way and did your own
  32. Kevin
    lol, i hope not

    good afternoon everyone for a few months now, reluctant at the start, i knew i had to return to this build, a few of my followers know the reason why. but having got over that i have my build back on the table my next step was how to proceed, i used the main deck (for some unknown reason) in the lower position and had to order a replacement from CAF in china, i should have just used some cherry and made horizontal deck beams, but was worried i would not get the internal bulkheads height right, then i was concerned that fixing the lower deck beams in would hinder the top ones going in if they were not quite in the correct position, if placed the to far fwd or aft Anyway i have been setting up the replacement beams and everything lines up (im totally amazed) only because my photo' make the hull look like a two year old had made it with that hurdle out of the way, i am now going to plank the rest of the inner hull new upper beams being test fitted, they were then taken out now going to continue planking inside the hull

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.
