    Steam winch Just forward of the superstructure is the steam winch, which builds into a very nice module, but with a lot of cleaning up it is 90% complete, but to finish the bits it will need painting, so will be done a lot later with all the other motors and winches that are sill in bags

    its a seams strange scale size,@1/54, I wish you luck in the build and hope you get your eyes sorted soon

    Decking done now the margins, which are oversized

    very much appreciated my plan at present is some time in the near future to slice the hull fwd to aft, just above the bilge keel, im hoping that with the right plans i will then be able to incorporate (from aft) accommodation, engine room, boilers, fish room, ???? accommodation depending on the line i cut will affect what is seen of course, another option is to remove on side only then i could let the fibre hull take the weight and with false bulkheads the wiring could be hidden the two halves will be kept apart by brass rods that will incorporate any wiring

    good morning Harry, thank you for your interest, I have never seen a cutaway trawler, so gthought i would have ago, the build would be to big for my car and a doggie, so i would rather spend my pennies on bits for the build rather than rc gear, and i can super detail it rather than making sure nothing drops of on the local pond

    Good morning everyone For the followers of my log, Do you want me to finish one section, then move on to keep some consistency (long time between posts) or show what i am/have done )regular updates, (but no consistency) this is a long term build, and i am hoping to teach my self new things as i go along, plus she will be a cutaway (well slice) as the top 1/2 of the hull will be displayed above the bottom part, to do this i am moving from one part to another whilst i waIt for bits to arrive or research to be carried out. i love posting what i have done, but realise that some dont like bitty logs
  9. Kevin
    love the paintwork
  10. Kevin
    Lol are you stalking me? there is a lot of information out there, i keep finding things of interest, but the Trawling Through Time say they will have the plans (if any up soon) i manly want to know where the bulkheads are, after that a lot of information will fall into place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook,_Welton_%26_Gemmell

    lovely nice clean work
  12. Kevin
    yes they are on the way, but i am still looking for wheel house details
  13. Kevin
    Thank you for the comments this is how i am tonight Another question would the same wood type be used on the margins, i am doing this in lime strips 1mm x 5mm and purchased 1mm lime plank but it is very very brittle and i think unusable was wondering if birch would look silly, also this will not be a pristene build but a well used working static cutaway trawler also would the margins ever be painted?

    good evening Jason Dobbie ECS will be 4 this August and is my bestest ever friend love your photo of the dogs
  15. Kevin
    I feel better about this
  16. Kevin
    Appologies my friend i regretted saying that i would continue as i was going, im here for advice so 3rd attempt, no margins yet
  17. Kevin
    Well worth the wait she looks great
  18. Kevin
    Having served on british diesel subs, this sends shivers down my spine the old, , sorry i missed the start of the build, lovely work
  19. Kevin
    lol i still dont know whats is best for me, the margins first or the planking, but as i bought 6mm wood strip, i went with the planking first and will make the margins fit
  20. Kevin
    Agreed, but if the concept is correct then i will proceed with what i have started, to make the margins wider i think will interfere with everything that has to go on this area however when i do the Amerigo Vespucci i will do this system again

  22. Kevin
    Thank you I moved on to the boat deck to see if i could make any progress on this nibbling But i still think i am getting it wrong im not sure if i should be rebating into the margin as well, but for tonight i have had an attempt on scrap wood to fit the margin to the planking
  23. Kevin
    Thank you Jim very much appreciated, when/what angle defines that a nibbling is required
  24. Kevin
    She looks fantastic
  25. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, As you can see by the photo this is the deck plan for my 1/32 trawler, there are a lot of pointy bits, which i guess woulld not happen, i am laying planks over this and woundered if any one had any idea how it should look, even though a lot of it will never be seen is the decking plan wrong?

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.
