    i have made quite a bit of progress on the build in the last week, the fore yard is not finished with just a few lines to find homes for and then the fitting is the stun booms these are now fitted, more lines being secured this time to the channel and secured inside the bulkhead although still a lot of long loose ends most of the fitted fitted so far are now secured, i dont want to cut them just yet in case i have a need to remove them and a couple of how she looks tonight

    its nice to get back into the build,after doing other things for a while, The HMS Fife consumed quite a lot of my time, but after 7 years the Victory has to be finished, especially after ordering my next build

    lovely to see an update Sjors, shame that the kit is not up to a standard that we expect from them, i am back heavily into the rigging to try and get her completed before 2019, hope you are both well

    Welcome back
  5. Kevin
    nice work, you will have this completed and onto your next build by Christmas this year

    good recovery, hopefully she has now got the correct shape and allow progress with-out any more setbacks

    Leech lines, if sails are not set, were the lines just knotted at the block to prevent the line pulling back through
  8. Kevin
    just been catching up with your log my friend, she has certainly moved on since i last looked in, apologies with not keeping up, but since i got my mojo back i am doing my best, right back to the rigging
  9. Kevin
    Thank you for sorting that out for me, looks much tidier
  10. Kevin
    lovely work Dan, do you feel like getting back to another wooden build ?
  11. Kevin
    i thought your last attempt at this build was good, but the PE on here has taken it to another level, well done
  12. Kevin
    everything looks so clean neat and tidy, i just so wish mine was, lovely work, and I love following your log
  13. Kevin
    although a ocean going liner there is not a lot of clear deck area without the clutter of vents etc was there?
  14. Kevin
    Thanks Tim my SD14 build was always going to be a long term build, but LOL all mine seam to take forever, 7 years and counting on the Victory, The Fife which has now been Sold was something i always wanted but the wrong subject matter for what i wanted to achieve, so my next build hopefully will accommodate everything i have ever tried to achieve, and that is a large build in a cutaway format with lots of detailing and possibly a little different, Hence the 1/32 steam trawler

    Hatch covers look great

    good evening everyone well the first of the spars is fitted and being held under its own weight by the truss pendant and jeer block tackles (is also pinned) to keep it that way
  19. Kevin
    i am very impressed by the way this build is going together, please keep up the good work
  20. Kevin
    Coming on a treat
  21. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, im still slowly progressing the spars
  22. Kevin
    well this might fill in some of the missing gaps
  23. Kevin

  24. Kevin

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.
