    good evening everyone, day 344-48 sorry about the pants photos, but now the freezer has moved out of the mancave, and its waining, so no wheelie bin, plus the mancave has had a bit of a sort out so i have to find somewhere to take the shots for tonight spent some time tidying up the front end, but even tonight i see the spirit yard is not sitting right i will label up a lot of the lines in the next day or so but today was sorting out the fore mast truss, i have to cut the lines to the jeers to do that, serves me right for not doing it in order (again) horses still to be sorted, but in the right place and lots of loose ends still

    good afternoon my fix off wanting to do something different is already starting to go away, but i need to finish this project from fleabay i obtained the diorama board, the full price is over the top, and contains boards, rails, rail fasteners, sleepers and lots of over sized gravel, i bartered and got a 50% reduction, which is what the true price should be

    congratulations, brilliant job

    good evening everyone day 7 struggling tonight, in trying to be clever and putting brass strips onto metallic paint, and its just not working, the C/A is staining the paint, so i may have to rethink it, but it looks like im going to have to strip the tender down and redo it

    Happy new year to you as well there is no track contained within the kit, but Occre go a diorama setting display board, but pricey, i have just made a fleabay offer on one and getting it for 1/2 the price, will allow me to put the 3 carriages on following the tender

    good evening everyone, thank you for comments and likes, and interesting to see new followers to my ever continuing process of purchasing good kits and making them badly lol day 3 ensuring the ends are flat to enable fitting into the chassis wheels being made up brass banding around the boiler, was a pain, trying to avoid marking the paint work running gear another test fit after chassis paint has dried here she is for the another day tomorrow, nothing is fitted yet

    Day 2 the boiler colour was to light and now i have gone too dark, but will stay this way now, after all would not be a Kevin build if i kept to the correct colours chassis, made up of wood, MDF, castings and PE Tender wheels need the most cleaning up, from the tabs just a test fit of the wheels, these are still to be made up, boiler in her new colour, and matt black

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.
