    Piet thats the best photo i can see for now, but allows for an anchorage point of all the lower set studding sails, those, those above have extensions fitted to the yards, which are extended as required
  2. Kevin
    LOL Sjors when i get round to fitting that- it wont be taken out for a weekly trip into the garden

    lovely work, it is nice to be following all the same peoples logs again, after being in the plastic world for a while

    today i also unpacked the stun boom that i made last year, just to remind myself how big this thing is going to get, so my questions about upper deck cannons will become irrelevant as in a case you wont get anywhere near enough to see them

    Good evening everyone, welcome to the weekly outside photo shoot of my wheelie bin with the build sat on top, not so smelly this week the companion ladder took me longer to do than anticipated, but i am pleased with the result
  6. Kevin
    thanks Daniel i was hoping to run all mine on the upper deck fwd to aft, but it appears that i have no option now other than to play the game and just rig them in the secured position, this is all because i wanted the build in a sail past diorama setting,, hence the gun port lids in a venting position , when all the cloth is set including stuns very little will be seen anyway, thanks for getting back to me

    hello my friend - how Dafi? i would like the upper gun deck on my Victory in a Secured from action diorama, do you have any info on if and how the upper gun deck had the cannons lined up fwd to aft, and how or where they were situated, i don't think i have actually seen this though your work i want to have more available room on the upper deck
  8. Kevin
    Joe and Mark thank you , i have no intentions of making the build look silly,but i still don't know how to ask the right question LOL i want more space on the upper deck and the sticky outy things are in my way
  9. Kevin
    regardless of how the above question pans out , i continue with the upper gun deck with exception of the above mentioned cannons and the ladders this is nearing completion
  10. Kevin
    ok i get the point there are no stoopd questions but i am going to ask one anyway but to set the question up i need to state why i am asking it My HMS Victory will be set into a diorama setting post Trafalgar,this will be after Nelson death and before she is retied from active service she will be on a sail past of say Gibraltar and alll sails set including stuns, i want to display a lot of crew aloft and (silly i know have some sort of band playing on the upper deck), getting to my question is i don't want to display the upper deck cannons, very little would be seen anyway with all the stuns booms set, So did the Royal Navy promote the Rn in the early 19th century, did they go around the world promoting world dominance, and therefore have a 1st rate sailing around with cannons offloaded of course i doubt that, there was always conflicts going on, so i guess this leads on to possibly another question where do i put them if the decks are to be cleared for the need of catering for quests and dignitaries as she fly the flag i know what i want - i just don't quite know how to ask the question

  12. Kevin

  14. Kevin
    Sjors just caught up with your log, lovely work,
  15. Kevin
    hello my friend, been a long time since we heard from you, are you ok, hows the build going?
  16. Kevin
    can we have an update please
  17. Kevin
    personally i would draw a around the frame and form a template, and just use some of the kit off cuts to make a new one
  18. Kevin
    i just love the colours you have used
  19. Kevin
    I know Doris uses veneer on her card models, is this the same stuff (knowing me the answer will be no)
  20. Kevin

  21. Kevin

  22. Kevin

  23. Kevin

  24. Kevin

  25. 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.
