    anyway on with the build i have two different thicknesses of Modelspan on order, I am not in a hurry for them as i dont even have a sail plan yet the foremast lower rat lines continue, i will then do the Catharpins before going onto the upper lines, there are so many snagging bits ofn the build, so glad i never put everything on

    good evening, everyone it was about 10 days ago lying-in bed 3 in the morning, wife breathing heavy one side and the Boi spaniel in his bed right next to me and all i could do was think about model building, the sd14 is enjoyable but 100 days on im slightly ready for a change, I have other kits new and some started but i want the WOW factor, something to get me head thinking, something to tax me without being boring, and a little out of my comfort zone, thinking we are on an adventure my boi follows me into my display area and discuss what to do next, well I talk to myself whilst the boi looks for treats in me pockets a process of elimination rules out any new build 1/200 Titanic and Shipways Syren being started as the new INDY is out later this year Next the started builds, 1/48 Enterprise is crossed off as is the U Boat and Snowberry. We have one build left the Amerigo, this is the build that should have gone to landfill many years ago, its only when I restarted her that I decided to make her in my own version Anyway she came back to the table, and im pleased with the progress my WOW and out of comfort zones will be coming in the form of putting a full set of sails on her
  8. Kevin
    love the sails, just brilliant
  9. Kevin
    Thank you Keith, i believe i have found somewhere that can supply Modelspan, i need to read everything again to see what to use on it
  10. Kevin
    im still unable to find a stockist in the UK for silkspan, been trying all afternoon
  11. Kevin
    thank you i had something like this in mind
  12. Kevin
    good morning everyone i have come to the conclusion that i would like to try this on my Amerigo builds couple of questions though would this work with 27+ sails i would like a darker colour, possible light blue or green, to show off the rigging could the bond paper be adapted to furled sails what GSM weight bond paper
  13. Kevin
    Welcome to MSW @VFX_Chris please start a build log and show us all your work
  14. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes P&S foremast lower ratlines well most of the rats are in now (foremast lower), another 5 to go plus remove one or two that look worse than the rest, im still not 100% sure the white and brass is doing it for me, it needs a dark backdrop to stop it looking like every 6th line is missing
  15. Kevin
    well done lovely work
  16. Kevin
    good evening everyone was hoping for a better update tonight, BUT all yesterdays work was wrong so had a redo today i have severel things in life to remember who am i where do i live wife birthday and how to tie Ratlines i forgot one of the above and it wasnt any of the first three anyway here is the redo, still not brilliant, and yet again another big variation away from the real vessel
  17. Kevin
    So glad I found this build, wonderful work, puts my kits to shame
  18. Kevin
    Stunning work, going to be so impressive when complete, if this can ever be said to be finished, there is always more that can be added
  19. Kevin
    i just wish i could decide if to go with sails or not
  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you everyone for comments and likes Main mast shrouds upper and lower been a great couple days, and just fell back into the build routine, having left a list of what I was doing and what was planned to do next save a lot of messing around most of the back stays are also in just another 3 to do both side, then i will have to think about making up the mizzen
  21. Kevin
    good evening everyone well the scratch for a non ship build has been scratched a lot of members (well one) was hoping i would just continue with the SD14 but i do miss the wood and string, and as i will be purchasing the Vanguard Models HMS Indefatigable, i thought i would pick up where i left of last October/November time on the AV so the shrouds for the main mast lower are now complete,, i then put in the main back stays before realising i need to do the upper shrouds on the main mast, what a great way to waste a couple of hours
  22. Kevin
    Lovely work
  23. Kevin

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.
