    Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 40 stern frames complete, and stbd side steering flat frames are in the build slowed down for a few days as i had to finish the Easter project, but managed to get a good few hours on her today.

    Good evening everyone day 37 stern build up continues, and a wheelie bin 3 days since my last post, and not much to show for it, life got in the way the stern build up is now mainly complete, i just want to add some paint to the hard to get to places before the frames go in, i will do that next to prevent any damage occuring the white painted section is the steering gear flat, it will get a green deck before the longitudinals go back in

    Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 34 box girders and crocodile clips the after peak has been fitted and stands up quite well on its own, however the more support i can give it the safer it is the box girders are now starting to line it all up, no glue has been used since the last post i have no intention of passing the forward engine room bulkhead for a while with intentions of staying with the after part of the build

    yes i found a rescaling chart the other day, i hope to try it out within the next few days
  8. Kevin

  9. Kevin

    good evening everyone this build seams to have attracted some attention, so i had better make a decent job of it, and finish it this year Day 32 engine room tween deck module and after peak been doing some garden work the last couple of days but yesterday i varnished 12 sheets of card on both sides to allow more cutting out personally i have found it easier to work away from the kit rather than on the build itself
  11. Kevin
    i have a new full build log started, the link is in my post signature

  17. Kevin

  18. Kevin
    very nice i was watching this the other day for a future project Easy Hedges - Model Railroad Scenery - Bing video
  19. Kevin
    good evening everyone yep sorry its me again day 30 engine room bulkheads taken me most of the day to build these two and get them in place, when i say most of the day, perhaps 4 to 5 hours modelling, meals, dog walking hubby doos all adds up but, im happy with the progress, very happy indeed, means now i can set the engine room up and see in i can convert the 1/16 engine to 1/70 next will be the engine room level girders which will straighten the bulkheads up
  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 29 shaft tunnel rightly or wrongly, i build this up as a standalone, so that it could be painted separately, all the decks in machinery/non cargo spaces within the hull will be green i quite like the colour i found, the white is just primer, the port side will not be seen so i left it unpainted so that i can see the frame numbers the after cargo hold bulkhead is next to be made up and then fitted as a large section some of you will recognise me having done this in January this year working on the shaft tunnel number 48
  21. Kevin
    Good evening everyone day 28 99% of tank top plating complete apart from where the bulkheads sit the tank top plates are laid put in the shaft boxes and now making up the tunnel shaft
  22. Kevin
    lol i love to do daily updates, and to get uncluttered shots it needs to be moved, i am more careful moving it now, and it was just a silly accident last time, the build board is off the table supported and a couple of storage containers,
  23. Kevin
    i follow a build where everything has been copied to styrene, very impressive
  24. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 27 deck plating middle and stern lol im getting paranoid about the wavy lines, even though i am expecting them at this stage, but it has been brought up in several forums, this will be fine when the bulkhead is pulled over to the right and then it is all covered over out into the sunshine, to big for the wheelie bin
  25. Kevin
    very nice indeed

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.
