    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

  13. Kevin
    thank you i hope to see some real progress on her during Feb i am getting to the stage where i need to decide how i am going to secure the superstructure to the hull, at last i will be able to say, so much to do and all the time in the world to do it
  14. Kevin
    lol have you finished it yet?
  15. Kevin
    welcome
  16. Kevin
    Good evening everyone progressing with the railings and netting also the stations on the bridge roof are nearly complete have stained half the netting with a Flory wash to see the difference as i tone the white primer down
  17. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, yep two posts in one day and LOL i have still got 12 working days left put everything on that i have made up for a photo tonight, so i can start to work out how i am going to achieve making her look like a working boat, next month should be back to the hull and do some catch up work with that, i would say she is about 50% built now, but then on top of that there is all the clutter to be made the bridge walkway railings still need to be adjusted, as they form the handles on the steps leading down
  18. Kevin
    Good morning everyone made the other side walkway this morning, and put the netting over the rai;ing set that sits on top of the cod oil house, then put a matt white primer over it all nothing is in its final position yet, an still needs more work to make it look presentable
  19. Kevin
    WELCOME BACK, my long lost friend
  20. Kevin
    Good afternoon everyone Using my last 3 days of holiday, before i finish working on the 31st January, so i can now plan my projects and get back into regular posting again Bridge walkway the railings provided in the kit were not good enough for this so i have made my own, its another of those projects that takes time, but unable to complete until i work out howmuch room is available, as it is quite tight for space behind the bridge
  21. Kevin
    wonderful work Danny
  22. Kevin
    enjoy your break, im about to take one as well, to allow myself more time to do more boat building
  23. Kevin
    Thank you, and your more than welcome to follow my slow progress
  24. Kevin
    That would certainly make sence, but being clipped over the railings seams very naff way to do it, like the securing method at the top, this must have weighed quite heavy
  25. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, hope you all had a nice Christmas i have made an attempt to do something with the ends of the hand rails, i used masting parral beads. i have also started to tomne down the white in places and on the funnel Ash Chute made it up, but dont quite understand how it works, or how it is held into position, the photos show it clipped over the railings, and fails to show how it is held into position at this time everything is just placed into position for the photo, nothing is fixed yet

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.
