    perhaps the phoenix will be an appropriate name

    Good morning everyone i was bitterly upset and very grumpy last night, and felt extremely silly with myself, it was nothing more than tripping over my own feet, as i swung around off my bench, the damage is/was completely beyond repair, i looked to see if the keel was fit to use, even the floor had ripped as my full weight went through the frames Anyway, what to do next well the Admiral decided for me, just do it again, the full kit is on order and being posted today, this thread will be renamed and i will just restart a full build
  4. Kevin
    unable to recover this build my friend,
  5. Kevin
    thanks guys, its the end of this build, but not the end of the SD14 story
  6. Kevin
    yes im fine just gutted, i was thoroughly enjoying that
  7. Kevin
    the build came to a sudden and abrupt end this afternoon, moving it to the freezer for my daily update, i tripped and fell on it RIP stern section SD14
  8. Kevin
    tell the truth it dont look much different to sat photo, and honest I put loads of transverse frames in today, i can honestly say that this has been really enjoyable build so far, and if given the chance i would do all 3 sections together with open frames and no hull plates
  9. Kevin
    good evening everyone day17/90 the build is now going from 28" to 38 as i have taken another section from the redundant midships section, not fixed yet everything is now starting to fall into place including the stern as the transom gets fixed into position i now have in excess of 100 frames to fix into position so i know what i will be doing tomorrow
  10. Kevin
    lots of useful tips here
  11. Kevin
    and on the 16th day @Kevin took the day off
  12. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 15/90 about 1/2 way through about anther 300 pieces added since the last update, mainly on the upper deck transverse beams, each section i complete is bringing it into shape,
  13. Kevin
    is this another hull
  14. Kevin
    true, its not the way to build this, but the main bits i want are around the engine room, the rest may be left open to the cutters
  15. Kevin
    The link to CAF is on the home page HMS Bellona,HMS Bellona (cafmodel.com)
  16. Kevin
    im hoping from today everything will start to tidy up and straighten out
  17. Kevin
    Good evening everyone day 13/90 engine room flat, engine room tween deck frames 37 to 54 thank you for comments and likes well today i managed to get the two levels of the engine room done, primed and painted red, i can now get the upper deck longitudinals fitted to keep the main bulkheads separated after that, proceed aft and finish off the shaft escape tunnel, and the continue aft back to the rudder stock a few photos of todays work and others for my benefit of deciding how to display this in a scrapping diorama i would love some ideas (please) wrt the build
  18. Kevin
    i had forgotten about this build, the new owner finished her prior to the plague, i have not seen any photos of her on the water, and i have no idea if he still intends to keep her, i may just message him and find any info,
  19. Kevin
    Good evening everyone thank you for comments and like day 12/90 engine room tween deck thats all i achieved today build wise, also prepared another 100 pieces for tomorrow, which will be the engine room deck
  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 11/90 up to main deck level thank you for comments and likes not quite as much done today as planned, but the height certainly increased as the tween deck on the shortened middle section went up to the main deck and i was able to put the main longitudinal in, this will help me get the alignment right, for everything going aft the ribs for shortened middle section are not strong enough to support the weight yet, i may have to rethink that area having done that i went to the after peak and went up another deck again to the main deck level, the longitudinal should go in tomorrow very little of todays work is glued yet i placed the accommodation blocks on top in more or less the correct position there is another level to be made up, it is certainly going to be a nice sized diorama im pleased with it so far, perhaps it looks naff to some,
  21. Kevin
    that is so very nice, well done
  22. Kevin
    wow but what a 12 years, and i still advise people to look at your upgrade kits, thank you for your contribution towards this hobby
  23. Kevin
    i love this kit, and what you have done to her
  24. Kevin
    cannot say i fancy all that masking, but she certainly looks great sorry, i dodnt have an answer for you, have you asked the wife to bite them for you😀
  25. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 10/90 Stern Frame and after peak this section has taken me again most of the day, and still not completed, next bits to be added will be the top of the rudder connection some of the bits for todays work, varnished and trimmed to size making up the top deck girders for tomorrows work just in place for the photo

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.
