    Paul i wiil have a look tonight ty for letting me know
  2. Kevin
    hope your feeling better my friend, and you build looks fantastic
  3. Kevin
    i do so fancy another rigged ship at the present time, but not one with so many teeth (cannons) perhaps a decent scale Cutty sark but not the Amerigo Vespucci, would have to be a kit though, i have/ never stopped thinking about a 4th or 5th rate and build the Melampus
  4. Kevin
    some better (maybe) phots from today, taken for me to see what still needs to be done, re-worked and the opportunity to blow more dust off her, i have truly fallen in love with this build again
  5. Kevin
    lol of course you do, sorry perhaps i should have worded it a different way and say build the black pearl from a doner kit then
  6. Kevin
    i will always be here looking out for your brilliant updates, apologies for not realising the turmoils going on at the present time
  7. Kevin
    im impressed with what you have done, isnt it time you thought about a wooden kit, scale say a 1/64, then you can realy go to town on truss pendants and all the other lifting blocks etc, i bet you would enjoy it
  8. Kevin

  9. Kevin
    Just had her outside in the nice british springtime sunshine to see obviuous mistake and things still to be done,
  10. Kevin

  11. Kevin
    i will certainly be happy to see my next build on the table, lol i was looking at another kit today, chucks Confederacy again, but the st nectan id ready to be started and a couple of months
  12. Kevin
    Good evening everyone still on track to complete this build, spending as much time as i can at the weekends, with all the other normal stuff that goes on there in real life the last of the main yards are now made and being rigged into position, LOL i now have to think about both ends when turning her around, most of the rigging should then be completed by this time next week these are the gaff and Driver boom
  13. Kevin
    very nice indeed
  14. Kevin
    carrying a damaged one, is about all i found so far Taiwanese ship Wei Lee in Sydney HarbourDamaged bronze spare propeller January 17 1983
  15. Kevin
    stern gallery looks very different with see through glazing, where as i used PVA Glue
  16. Kevin
    now looking like a ship, she looks great, are you happy with the progress made, and would you recommend this kit to others
  17. Kevin
    now there is a question, what side is best for display on any build, i def have one side better than the other on the Victory, but what happens if the are both good enough to show?
  18. Kevin
    as discussed just above this post, this is one of the main reasons the build keeps getting delayed, in our property we just dont have a area big enouth to take her, so the plan is to use the garage, one of my workshops, and put possibly a set of patio doors or glass sliding doors about 1 to 2 meters away from the back wall, this will allow my collection to be displayed, although im the only one who will ever see her again
  19. Kevin
    Good evening Jerry i dont mind at all, i hadnt realy given it that much thought up to now, because they were going to be part of the diorama i was planning, LOL before i realised just how much room it was going to take up but the Admiral and myself have found her somewhere to live, but it will take some work to get the idea to work, the plan is to put a set of patio or some sort of slinging doors inside the garage and therefore create a sort of enclosed space possibly take 1m of so from the end wall where the plans are hung and create a viewing area behind a set of sliding doors,
  20. Kevin
    OC i hope this helps, i presume you have rope to do do that with
  21. Kevin
    good evening everyone, i have been quite fortunate to have had a 4 day weekend off, and the wife away, so just me and my doggie a majority of the rigging is now done, the after sheet block are still to be made, but i want to look at where i am going to put the ships boats first, then sort out/make the gaff i have done quite a bit of reworking on the beak head, and re-run some lines as i am finding that they were run incorrectly, and two lines were broken i have even replaced a few of the missing copper tiles with the plans i have now highlighted the lines completed, and lol some were found to be missing, but will go in this weekend and as as the stun booms lots still to do, but hopefully a few pictures will show what i have been doing
  22. Kevin
    still have the ships boats, head decoration, stun booms anchors and a lot of tidying up, one of the main spars looks like it needs levelling off, but very enjoyable at present, Easter still looks good for completion
  23. Kevin
    Good evening everyone the Mizzen mast continues, and progress is better than expected, I have a 4 day weekend coming up, and the Admiral is away for two of them so i am hoping to finish the rigging within a couple of weeks
  24. Kevin
    Good evening, did I see something on Facebook about the Admiral winning a kit
  25. Kevin
    thats all i did, 0.3mm hole into the mast and a pin in the spar, its certainly help, and once the yard is secued it isnt seen

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.
