    Goos afternoon, torn between lots of things today, F1 Race test match and Victory, so i have delayed watching the Race so that i can listen to the Cricket, Brilliant game anyway - LOL subject to change the Gun-ports are finished, that for me is a big milestone, i have a couple of lanyards still to put away but the quarterdeck decoration still needs to be finished so these might be the last few outside photo to be taken as she is going to be a handful to move outside as i start soon on the deck decoration, thank you all for likes and comments which have kept me going

    i would love to do something like this - but - i have found the actual build difficult enough without all this extra electronics, but i love to see and admire actual finished builds with this incorporated
  9. Kevin
    Progress made had the opportunity so far to just get on with it, instead of an hour here and an hour there,although i will be in this position a lot more now as i have just stopped my other hobby (Eve online) sat in my mancave listening to us being beaten by india

    I believe the inside bulkheads were white to reflect any available light, and the inside gunport lids red as a danger signal to being seen from a distance

  12. Kevin

  13. Kevin

  15. Kevin

  16. Kevin
    my wife just read this, a completely different reaction to that, - words to the effect that i would not be allowed within 100m of HER sewing machine
  17. Kevin
    i await the start of this build, but very pleased you are doing what so many are unable to do, and that is not have more than one build going on at the same time, the SOS looks brilliant as will this build
  18. Kevin
    just caught up with your log, i do see you quite often on Facebook
  19. Kevin
    i must admit, the original photo confused me, the is from a group within facebook, where the makeup of a sail has been completed without actually using any canvas/ material, very clever idea,
  20. Kevin
    not quite as much work done today, lost another of our wabbits so feel quite miserable but did make a start on the stbd side

    HMS Victory is currently undergoing a period of restoration and visitors have the unique opportunity to witness the process taking place on the oldest commissioned warship in the world and a proud memorial to Vice Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, Britain's greatest Naval hero and his stunning victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. Her topmasts and rigging have been struck, or taken down, and her planking is under investigation. This is nothing unusual as wooden ships like Victory needed constant care and attention from the day they were launched. These repairs are simply the latest in a long tradition of regular upkeep. The last time HMS Victory was seen without her top masts was back in 1944, so this really is a once in a life time opportunity to see HMS Victory under-going such extreme maintenance. Interestingly, with her topmasts down, Victory will look much as she did after the Battle of Trafalgar when she had to be towed to Gibraltar for repairs.

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.
