    im not sure if that will happen, however lol we are on good terms so if i see any thing to report i will pass any updates on, i have no plans to delete this log, but will remove from my signature to allow room for the new build
  2. Kevin
    today marks the end of this build, as she was sold on to someone who hopefully can make a better job than myself, thank you to everyone who has followed this build, However i have plans for something else, and lol about the same size
  3. Kevin

  4. Kevin
    She is looking very good

    Good evening everyone i had intended to achieve more by this time (its not a race) but happy as all the yards are in place, the Mizzen ones are finished just awaiting the fittings if rigging bits, the main and fore are in different stages of completion
  6. Kevin
    Thank you Steve, for your detailed answer, i am looking for another build on completion of the Victory, and would like to got for a merchant vessel of some kind, without the need to build a hull, I had been hoping to get a decent scale paddle steamer hull, but very few manufacturers make them, I must admit i like the lines of your currant build, and will continue to watch progress until i make my mind up
  7. Kevin
    what are your impressions of the kit so far, hull, plans, and metal fittings?
  8. Kevin
    managed more progress over the weekend, been to work today but have the Tuesday and Wednesday off, so hoping to get the mizzen yards done, then to get all the fittings added
  9. Kevin

  10. Kevin

  11. Kevin

  12. Kevin

  13. Kevin
    im sure i bought Lifecolor for my build but just could not get on with it, all your work has paid off well done
  14. Kevin
    just caught up Mark, lol i was about 30 pages behind, lovely work, i think i was more upset than you when you restarted this build
  15. Kevin
    i quess that at the end of their life no two hulls resembled the original plans for the class,
  16. Kevin
    i need friends, so i have a spare popcorn machine key will be following your progress
  17. Kevin

    i must admit im far happier when playing with wooden kits, i dont post as much wjen working with other materials yes they were quite a few off us doing the same kit, dont forget Gil Middletons build, im sure David will see your post as he occasionally drops by, takes a front seat eats all my popcorn and leaves the rubbish on the floor, you can find him and his latest build here https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/10469-hms-diana-by-shipyard-sid-caldercraft-164-scale/&tab=comments#comment-313971

    very nice, and is the wife feeling better
  20. Kevin
    finished playing with the anchors, its far tro early for them and will just create more snags as i continue withe the rigging Fore mast yards and Stun Yards i love rigging, it takes me into another time (NOT LIKE DR WHO), i think its because it all goes together like a fine tuned engine, its nice to think that line does this and that one gets tied off there because blah blah blah one dowl 8mm thick and two at 3mm gives me what is reqired for the lower yard on the foremast used my lathe as a sanding tool and had a great few hours that completes the basics but to be primed and painted then set up with accessories before being fixed to the build, however i always pin my spars in the relevant position, makes my life so much easier

  22. Kevin
    have you checked any other build logs of the same vessel
  23. Kevin
    interesting that even in this day and age that the paint is not bought in bulk and batched, i will be watching your progress
  24. Kevin
    the jigs are fine is thats the way you want to go, but when securing to the deadeyes it could create a problem in getting the tension right, or ratlines that are no longer horizontal, i have found the above way gives a decent result, and the only way i know, The lines on the card, ensure they are straight, and the card also allows the eye to focus on the job, rather than be distracted

    Should float this time, it's wood lol

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.
