    good morning, everyone thank you so very much for comments and likes day ? forward well deck i made the decision to leave the forecastle for now as there was the risk of something being damaged, the railings are quite fragile this is how the forward well deck looks as off last night i still have to place vents, bollards, ladders, and possibly change the steam winches on top of the raised hatchway from black to white

    good evening everyone taken a couple of days to sort myself out and get back into the build, finding everything is the issue i have started to fill the portholes in with PVA glue, a process that is going to take a while, but the ones that worked about 9/10 are ok and give me the result i wanted, just 1000's to go i am now going to work from front to back and the forecastle has some attention now, it looks ok, but the railings are so fine, they will have to wait the foremast is made up, but will be secured later the steam winches and other bits are still to be painted the forward well deck is next

    good evening, everyone well that week went by fast, and no boat building took place Putin will get the blame for this, but it needed to be done, my mancave is now a space where the wife can join me during the winter months to save heating more of the house than necessary. by man cave is basically a 3-sided log cabin bolted to the side of the house, and what ever we did to it it was still just a shed in the garden, and in the winter it gets quite cold in there, well not so much now all the walls have now been sealed, lined, papered and painted, and what a difference it has made, no more draughts, in fact it is retaining the heat and spreading into the house 2009 2011 new windows and doors 2014 pitched roof added 2018 electrics this week

    Good evening everyone day 27 doing quite a lot of DIY at present so the build gets some work done as and when i get the chance my mancave is basically a 3 sided log cabin bolted to the side of the house, it gets quite drafty in there, and with the way things are going at the moment we have decided to warm it up a bit and line it throughout the drawback (brave thing to say) i will be sharing it a lot more with her indoors her in my mancave the Boi is normally with me anyway, as i am quite close to the fridge the East side (coldest) is now 99% done, and wow what a difference, it has also reduced the noise from the M5 (Tauton, Brdgwater, Bristol) stretch considerably anyway the build Making up bits from fwd to aft and placing them into position prior to painting, the fwd well deck cranes were fun

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.
