    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 49 continuation of tween decks one or two transverse beams missing, may find them outside if the boi has taken them i am finding this build to large to get any decent photos, i may have to drag a wide angle lens out tomorrow i think i will start to frame the stbd side, this is possibly the most enjoyable build i have ever done SD14: A STANDARD DESIGN CARGO VESSEL | Yorkshire Film Archive (yfanefa.com) top deck stbd side stern section at last the tween deck is sitting in its correct position, this now shows the height to the top deck

    good evening everyone thankyou for comments and like comments day 48 tween deck transverse beams a lot of progress made in the last few days i decided to make a lot the internal decks and deckheads in modules i have found, for me it works very well, and allows me to get all the longitudinals quite straight, also allows painting a lot easier lots of transverse beams ready for fitting these are for the stbd side midships engine room lower level ready for paint tween decks level nearly complete, looks sqiffy due to the fact the decks are just placed on, and not slotted into position

  7. Kevin
    i will continue going down the port side with the occasional bit on the stbd side to keep it from getting out of shape, but any input from anyone about anything you see wrong or suggestions i will be grateful, this is my one chance to make this something a bit different

    Good evening Jan just the hull, framework and superstructure no prop, anchors or internal detail i do have some links for a few compressors, but US supplied and costly i have a engine but needs to be rescaled down to 1/70
  15. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 41 engine room levels as the port side will be fully enclosed i started putting in the engine room levels for that side everything seams to be lining up so far put some paint down as well today green and white for machinery spaces, grey and grey with white box girders and deck heads for the holds i had some decent outside photos of the engine room until i realised i had put the i had put the flat level in the wrong position, oh and the boi wanted a mention lol couple of the better photos from today with the engine room level in the wrong position

    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.

    just love what you are doing on this subject
  18. Kevin
    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
  19. Kevin
    day 35 and not fell over it yet
  20. Kevin
    i hope so
  21. Kevin
    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
  22. Kevin
    yes i found a rescaling chart the other day, i hope to try it out within the next few days
  23. Kevin
    that turned out very nice
  24. Kevin
    lovely work, she is coming along very nice
  25. 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

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.
