  2. 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

    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
  5. 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

    So glad I found this build, wonderful work, puts my kits to shame

    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
  9. Kevin
    i just wish i could decide if to go with sails or not

    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

    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

  16. Kevin
    a whole cargo load of inspiration would not go amiss
  17. Kevin
    good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes will be glad to get this out of the way, the trailer still needs another sand down re-prime and top coat, at least my itch for wanting to do something different has been scratched do i go back to the SD14 or back to wood and get the Amerigo Vespucci further along
  18. Kevin
    Lol please dont
  19. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes still working on this project, But just wish i had taken a week off and done something away from the mancave, it would have saved me enough to pay the postage for @chris watton HMS Indefatigable, nothing wrong with the kit at all, i loved putting it together, and it is so well engineered, it is just the painting anyway, lets at least finish something so here are a few outside shots taken tonight, dont look so bad in the distance, Oh and the wife loves it as for yesterday please do not mention mum visits and her blocking the Macerator
  20. Kevin
    @yvesvidal that is looking brilliant
  21. Kevin
    it has served a purpose, just a reminder that i need every few months that im rubbish at modelling and worse at painting
  22. Kevin

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.
