    morning Jan only on the port side, a lot of stbd will be left opened up, i, just finding a way around of doing it, without the upper deck collapsing under the weight it wont be this much as the bow/stern will be skinned

    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes, the wife is much better now day 91 stbd side hull and bilge plates even though the wife was ill, i still made sure a did a bit on the the build every day, maybe an hour tops, but back on it today the kit is quite clever considering, its my modelling that lets it down, but even that seams to have been taken into account, and so far the plates have gone on ok the sticky tape under the plates is my idea, and im happy i went down that road, i have ensured a better contact with the frames, and yes the tape has been glued as well so that the whole lot does not fall off the bottom of the hull plates shows the position for the top of the relevant bilge plate once i was happy the bilge plate was in the correct position i secured the hull plate over it as we get to the pointy end smaller plates are laid under the sheerstrake, these take a bit of adjusting to sit properly i will tape over these butt joints later on i just laid another coat of varnish over, hence looking a bit wrinkly

    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 83 deck and hull plates continuing with the stbd side i have put a few deck plates on i am using tacky glue which is just a thick PVA and i am finding it was dropping between the transverse beams, so i changed the way i am doing it by putting a brown tape over the beams with ca glue and then pva on top of them to put the plates on, it seams to be going down ok update the plates that were dropping slightly between the beams has now sorted itself out now its dry the hull plates are just tacked on, as the bilge plates are still to be found, cut out and put on loving this build
  9. Kevin
    something like this still appeals to me

    the port side is quite secure now, i was going to leave a lot of the stbd side open (cutaway) but i may Have to put the frames in, to get the hull plates lined up, just to remove a lot of it, its just another of my idea's / intention, but not fully thought it through lol

    Good evening everyone day 81 forepeak upper start of stbd side frames lots done in last couple of days, forepeak upper module made up quite a nice little project, putting into position might be a different story all the top deck transverse frames are now in place, and with a slight adjustment they will sit flush she was tired and needed to have a sleep on her side spent 3 hours this morning removing 170 plus frames, did that before taking the boi out for walkies at 0700

    so the top of that ist lime strip is flush with the top of the lower gunport sill, thats clever great update thank you
  15. Kevin
    about 1/2 way through now, hopefully before @chris watton can release the 1/64 Indy
  16. Kevin

  17. Kevin

  18. Kevin

  19. Kevin
    thank you Roger
  20. Kevin
    Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 78 upper deck transverse beams fitted well that went better than expected, each transverse beam now fitted to its relevant hull frame, and appropriate deck level beams, im amazed how well it is going together
  21. Kevin
    Very nice Mark
  22. Kevin
    Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 76 fwd and midships top deck although only in temporary for now the midships box girders and the upper forepeak are rechecked for final fitting, a few deck plates, lighting and fitting points for cargo to sort out oh and another bulkhead im quite pleased with the way the build is going forepeak frames
  23. Kevin
    very nice, looks great with the figures bringing it to life, might find mine out again one day
  24. Kevin
    come along and try @chris watton LOL when the Indy is ready
  25. Kevin
    Good evening everyone Day 74 cargo experiment failed well i am on day 74,but not a lot has changed since my last update, part of the reason is the last update i dont know why (it happens every build,) doing the cargo completely threw me out of my happy routine, it was about Tuesday when i took pipes and bricks out and told myself to get on with the build. instant mojo back, i know what i want to do, just not thought hard enough about how i want to achieve it, today the tween deck is going in, im sure photos will follow tomorrow out yesterday for a drop of sunshine Tween deck Bulkheads

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.
