    lovely build, well gone on completing her
  3. Kevin
    very Nice indeed, she looks very clean and tidy i must admit i miss doing a 1st rate, but doubt i will do another one, perhaps a 3rd rate will appear on my workbench one day in the future, until then i have plenty to do

    Good evening everyone now that i have a system that works in getting a decent fit of the superstructure to the hull, i can continue and build the boat deck up, a lot less chance of damaging anything now the davits were made up a while ago, i just a white primer, as i wanted the flat white finish, today, they had a Flory grime wash over them and fitted to the deck, bollards, and handles, with the ropes and ropes are still to be sorted, but im happy with what has been done today,

    first day of retirement, and i have brought the hull back into the mancave although not the way the instructions show, i have devised a system which allows the superstructure to be removed, using screws that are pretty well hidden. then is for any reason, the hull goes to someone else they can sort it out, my reasoning for it is that i wanted a tight seal not just a unit that lifted off, leaving gaps in places i can now start work on the foredeck thinking ahead i want rusty looking hull, im not quite sure how i am going to go about it, its not exactly a small unit
  12. Kevin

  19. Kevin
    i started like that, then got a shed then converted the garage then got a dog dog is not allowed to get wet, according to the admiral, transiting between the house and my mancave so i have moved into the house/conservatory, which perhaps where i should have started from
  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone Just had a few photo's sent to me by the new owner he has asked me to mention that the the work has been carried out by Derek Chapman, the sea slug director has still to be built, then all the electronics, lighting and sounds will be added
  21. Kevin
    Until then a bit of wax will hold them down
  22. Kevin
    you could lightly paint those areas
  23. Kevin
    welcome and good luck with the rest of the build which looks great so far
  24. Kevin

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.
