    Thank you, but certainly not a high standard

    good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes day 100-2 well the after cabin is nearly to be buttoned up, the painting of pellow is pants i know but it helps with the sense of scale, yes he has wellie boots and not shoes but he is looking at the charts for dryer lands to keep his feet dry
  3. Kevin
    very nice indeed
  4. Kevin

  5. Kevin
    welcome to the group, lol why did you trim the inner bulkwarks, and then state they were to short, this is not an issue with the kit
  6. Kevin
    hello and welcome
  7. Kevin
    good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes day 95-2 test fitting, cabin and 1/4 galleries after completing the knees the deck went down without any issues at all, the original bulkhead spacers did their job in ensuring everything stayed in place, i decided to repaint the deck beams in red all over rather than keeping the tops naked cabin not much to say about this, the test fitting is just a slight trimming the ensure the cabin bulkheads fit, the paint in the cabin is AK Air AK11817 RLM65 (1938) and AK11002 off-white, i have kept the window PE without paint the rudder post box, i decided to do in white, and run a ink pen around the compass markings 1/4 galleries, i thought this would cause me some agro, but so far without any issues, hopefully thsi will all come together over this weekend

    A wonderful addition to the ever growing VM range
  9. Kevin
    Glenn i found depending on if you plank or not, that the beam supports will need adjusting, and i added mine after the beams were secure
  10. Kevin
    ty, i am following how you plan yr 2nd planking which ever you choose, it will turn out very nice, hope you are not in to much pain
  11. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 90-2 a bit of progress since my last update we now have a full gundeck, cannon allowance hatches, with cannon balls are made up and fitted all the deck beams are in i may have a couple of beam supports to place into position although these will never be seen, i am at present putting in hanging and lodging knees,
  12. Kevin

  13. Kevin

  14. Kevin

  15. Kevin
    very nice indeed, well done, I love, thanks for sharing yr journey with us
  16. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 83-2 keeping to the instructions has seen this build progress quite fast, other builds i would have made bits, put them away and it would all come together as some time in the distant future, perhaps returning to it after i get bored, like on some of my larger builds cannon carriages, are the thing that is stopping even faster progress, plus gardening and Assassins creed odyssey but its not a race, it is however, the most enjoyable build i have ever done, everyhting does exactly what its meant to do, perfect fits, and great quality materials mast Dowling in the ensure decks line up the deck beams fwd are fully fixed and the fwd deck has been test fitted the after deck beams are still in the process of making sure they fit

    good evening everyone thank you for comment and likes day 79-2 i have now put another couple of coats on the yellow banding and repainted the gunports linings all the gun carriages have been made up, but only six have been fully completed with wheels and metal fittings the tabs that enable accurate fitting onto the deck were removed as the boxwood deck was to hard to get a decent slot, so the wheels have now been sanded slightly to enable a good 4 point contact to the deck and will be held in place with PVA the ships oven is a lovely piece of resin and Photo etch, primed and black painted forward deck beams, sanded to remove the char, and painted on the forward and after sides only, as some of these will be exposed, on test fitted they just dropped into place nothing is fixed, but a few shots of how she is today
  18. Kevin
    2nd side banded, and quite even
  19. Kevin
    the damage covered about 20 planks, i would not have had enough to replace them, anyway the planking although better than anything i have achieved before, was not that brilliant, to much tapering, an expensive lesson, but im happy with her now, just not how i thought she would appear
  20. Kevin
    i had no choice, having damaged her through sanding
  21. Kevin
    one side in the correct colours,, although more coats are required, also the banding has gone a bit narrow at the bow above the cheeks, to be sorted
  22. Kevin
    thank you, i am happy now about the painting aspect of the build, going to make her naked, certainly helped in putting the planks on better, i think i have got better, this was my Victory about 2011
  23. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 74-2 you can blame Assassins creed Odyssey, for my lack of progress the hull went to black as part of the preps for banding, the yellow has had about 5 coats, i will now redo the gunports before adding any more the cheeks are now fitted, each one is 3 pieces in layers, i went for this colour scheme, as personally i think it looks better things still need to be touched up
  24. Kevin
    wonderful work James, now go for that well deserved break, with the Indy rigging and thank you for what you have done
  25. Kevin
    doing things my way, i want to get a majority of the outer painting done before working inside the hull, might avoid all the dust that i seam to create

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.
