  6. Kevin

    good evening everyone Day 122-3 still coppering im sure most of you would have completed both sides by now, i have lots going on, in RL but daily progress is being made
  9. Kevin
    well one side is
  10. Kevin
    yes something like that, i think im starting to learn that detail like rivet heads is wasted on this scale vessel i have yet to see any that are realistic, unless done by scratch, IMHO

    good afternoon everyone thank you for comments and likes day 119-3 each row, to cut and place into position is taking me about 45 to 60 mins, but i have other non boat building jobs on the go presently like gardening
  12. Kevin
    im cutting individual 18mm plates, i tried cheating with longer ones, but i dint work for me
  13. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 118-3 thank you for the comments and likes the copper application is going ok, i wasnt impressed at the start, but then again, i wasnt going to copper at all, until i made the sanding error, oh hum any way the jig im using to cut the tiles is version 3 and for me works ok, having the old metal blade at the base, stops the tape being pushed into the cut, so each one is fairly clean i think i will have about 15 full rows to place, and the any infills at the water line
  14. Kevin
    very neat and tidy
  15. Kevin
    i used a combination of pva and c/a
  16. Kevin
    it certainly helps to have an extra pair of hands on the first keel row, after that photo she retired from the coppering and gone to do knitting
  17. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 113-2 upper deck work is nearly complete, so its time to move to coppering, i used two strips of 6mm on the keel, with allowed me to turn it over, so hopefully avoid any gaps mrs kevin is allowed to help no cheeks on the port side, no its not a mod, they fell off
  18. Kevin
    health is far more important, she will still be there when you feel you can progress her
  19. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 112-2 in the past week the progress on indy slowed down a bit, but the big garden work is coming to an end, just two ton of gravel to move (well 1800 KG) the planking is nearly complete, still more tidying, sanding filling and varnish required, but it looks quite tidy now, the poop and some of the gratings were placed for the photo
  20. Kevin
    She looks fantastic, Congratulations
  21. Kevin

  22. Kevin

  24. Kevin
    that looks fantastic
  25. Kevin
    i loved the 1st planking, the tuck at the stern needs some thought though, but works fine on the condition you have faired enough

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.
