    Good evening everyone, LOL it is me the one who used to post everyday, until we got a dog, now what used to be spare time is shared time, but would not have it any other way on the SD14 having completed the tank top, the three Bulkheads for the deep cargo space then went in, these are now being firmed up as the big cross section frames go in, enjoying the build, but want to go back to the Victory soon non of the top box girders are fixed yet hence looking a little squiffy

    Brilliant news

    I found this on the web and would like to achieve this with the bow section this is by a modeler called Nader Taheri

    Good morning everyone well I have now 99% completed the the Tank top Longitudinal s, and hope to completed the rest today, have also started to remove the tank top plates, which will then complete the double bottom, still not sure how this section will be set in a diorama when completed but as for the stern the intentions are to show her as new, and the bow in a breakers yard

    Well Chris there is certainly a lot of interest in the new Victory, on here, and within the FB groups I belong to, its going to certainly be a good seller, LOL no doubt it will still be out before i finish mine

    what a lovely build you have completed, the bit I find so amazing, is the difference a 100 years make, the Victory of 1805 to your build, -

  11. Kevin
    good to hear that you are alive and kicking Chris
  12. Kevin
    Thank you for the update Anja
  13. Kevin
    oh no, another project for Dafi to work on
  14. Kevin
    Good evening everyone well the transverse frames have all been put in (no glue yet) next will be the Longitudinal's which should allow me to ensure we have a few straight lines, but considering it is going together quite well the book gives an insight to how the ship was deigned and built with details of every hull built, bit of a bargain of EBAY

    Good evening everyone looks like again this is going to be one of those projects that does not seam to grow very fast even considering the time put in I appreciate this is not a race, but I like to post my progress as some of you also watch my HMS Victory build anyway the transverse frames continue to be cut out (two on each frame, a port and starbord,) slotted and moved into position, now up to frame 89 - which started at 50 and the last one on this section of the build is 130 this is a very easy build, but very repetitive, but at the same time it is quite enjoyable, the size of it alone make it a fascinating build please note that apart from the longitudinal frames non of the transverse frames have been glued, this at present is just slotted card being held in to position by the fwd to aft frames, the centre line will be sorted towards the end
  16. Kevin
    Fantastic work, and continued brilliant detail,

    build time 12 hours pieces fixed into position 112 Good evening everyone all the longitudinals, are now in position with the exception of some of the centre keelsoms, doesn't look much i know but the next plates should start to tie it all, in, all this will then be hidden when the deck plates go on
  18. Kevin
    Wow , sorry i missed the start, just how do you get the frame wast the dummy lids
  19. Kevin
    Bill not going to say anything terrible about it, Just buy it, don't take any space up, until you start building it, LOL just go for it
  20. Kevin
    lol you had to wait until i had completed them
  21. Kevin
    SD14 - Midships Section - Shell bottom plates Total build time 6 hours 56 built pieces took a good four hours to get all the plates in the right places, needing to set up longitudinally and transversely, the lines on the card are not perfect, they vary slightly in thickness and, well it even says in the instructions this is by no means an easy task for info this part of the ship alone is 36.9 inches long this is the next set of cards which are the double bottom longitudinals, each one needs to be be cut out and then removes the slots (all good fun)
  22. Kevin
    the repair survived 24 hours, so im happy with it,
  23. Kevin
    The option is there to join the three together, but I am at present (early days) thinking about a life cycle of a sea trader, and have one section as new, one in mid life dockdown/refit and a very tired run down end of life section
  24. Kevin
    SD14 - Midships Section - Shell bottom plates Total build time 2 hours Started of by cutting out all the plates from the 1st four sheets, which is the bottom of the ship, all the frames are numbered and knowing that port is even numbers it is quite easy to follow the instructions, however care is needed to ensure that all the lines do align laid out on the work bench, all these make up the midships section 29" long and the first plates are joined,there is quite an overlap, presently I am using Elmers PVA
  25. Kevin
    well I made the decision to progress the SD14 during the week, alongside my wife's projects and the Victory at the weekends, its a good compromise So here we go

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.
