    i will perhaps never build another big scale 1st rate, time is against me to do all the other builds i wish to do, unless @chris watton brings out the royal George, however i did enjoy the Caldercraft Victory, even if it took me 7 years

    i believe there are more double bottom floor frames fitted on the kit than the real thing, possible to ensure some rigidity i am not aware of any other kit, this complex in card, by having it as a cutaway, i hope to keep some of this detail for others to see NOT MY PHOTO

    i doubt i will ever build anything smaller than 1/96 again, i will most likely pass on the 1/200 Titanic and go for the Linkspan Ferry next, if i ever get to do a aircraft carrier it will have to be the invincible class 1/72 1/96 from Sirmar or Fleetscale
  19. Kevin
    oh no, that means i will be starting the 1/200 titanic next
  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone Thank you for comments and likes new week day 8 double bottom floors and tank top lonitudinals having taken my time, this part of the build has gone quite well, i used to get differences in height where the tabs of the floor frames were over lapping the double bottom floor lonitudinals next is the tank top longitudinals on which the deck sits on, ,ost of these are still to be prepped , before adding to the build
  21. Kevin
    good morning day 6 saw most of the double bottom floors shaped and temp in position, they now need to be taken out and any adjustments needed so that the next set of longitudinals go in, however i may just continue though to the aft section, to keep all the sections at the same state of build
  22. Kevin
    good evening everyone Day five double bottom floors, only managed a couple of hours today, but something is better than nothing, only the basic cutting out and scores are made, i will adapt anything that is not working or sitting correctly before glue goes on
  23. Kevin
    excellent idea
  24. Kevin
    Good evening everyone Day 4 all the longitudinal's are now in, moving on the double bottom floors, 157 of them
  25. 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.
