    good evening everyone im happy with the way the two decks have turned out, the grain now shows with a matt clear varnish on top the superstructure was quite rough using red primer, so has now been attacked with a hairy stick and painted red ochre main deck fitted into the hull, sprayed red and brought into the man cave main cowl vents made still to be painted and tonight she looks like this

    good evening everyone superstructure masked off to indicate handrails and ladders after mast with wedge to rake it the rudder control lines pass down each side of the superstructure through two blocks and i added a load more leds for deck lighting

    Appologies for keep throwing my unrelated comments in, its unusual to see a build that im really intrested in.
  11. Kevin
    Looking good, shame about the warp
  12. Kevin
    Over night the deck continued to dry fully, i know have a finish that i work on, im a happy boy I may go to pencil treenails over the next week or so, very little os the deck will be seen it gets quite cluttered on this one, lol not quite like a 1st rate
  13. Kevin
    although 1960 design our P&O boats had two stern tubes and i think i only ever saw beer stowed in them, when they were removed the TOT (torpedo operating tank was opened up and became the new stowage, lol the place was always running with condensation oil and in rough weather other things as well, the in board torp stowages were spare bunks
  14. Kevin
    Still drying and getting fainter, had to take a photo then put the decks under weights to stop any bowing
  15. Kevin
    Well i went for B which was also mine and the admiral choice, it looks ok, grey with a tint of green (im colour blind) , i will do again after treenailing if i go ahead with that
  16. Kevin
    i forget whether they used different torpedos for fwd and aft shots, im sure they tracked the front shots but after tubes were almost a kind of self defence (chance in a million)
  17. Kevin
    Been quite busy on the build recently so will update possibly tomorrow night any have any thoughts on deck weathering, thes are the washes i have availble to myself also have oils and acrylics, but dont know how to use them yet
  18. Kevin
    and even if i was my Victory is not going to sell more than its kit price
  19. Kevin
    Not quite sure where your question is leading, are you building to sell ?
  20. Kevin
    sorry with my abrupt answer, many people think that a well made model will go for large amounts of money, but it is rarely the case, unless commission built, there is alwaays a i in a 1000000 chance that something on the market that someone is looking for but sadly not the one you are referring to
  21. Kevin
    lol its just like doing BSQ training all over again, knowing how everything works and where all the main valves and isolation switches are
  22. Kevin
    not as mush as you anticipate,
  23. Kevin
    im here waiting for updates, popcorn in hand, good luck with the build
  24. Kevin
    just found this build, thats good for me only about 4 years after completion lovely build
  25. Kevin
    anyone seen any decent photos of a trawler deck wrt weathering and would a 1930 trawler have its deck treenailed, i have used lime strips for the decking, and as it is a working boat it looks far to clean

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.
