i abandoned this build back in 2015, as i just could not airbrush anyway today i taught myself to do it and got a satisfactory result, time after time, so this is on the table for now as i plan to practise and hopefully get better to then complete the HMS Bluebell and ready for the next big build hopefully starting in the new year, 2014

good evening everyone looking through all my old builds, the one thing i have learnt, if you don't like it, dont hide it, just re-do the lower deck beams i now believe to be in the correct position looking through the AOTS Pandora book i need to move the bulkheads to the sailroom and others to match the beams, so as they were fixed to the deck i ripped it out cleaned it all up, which gave me the opportunity to put a bulkhead in under the 1/4 platform (coal store) now means i am in a good place now to get the passage way doors scuttles and bulkheads in place a test fit of the upper beams show they are in the right place

HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56
Kevin replied to matiz's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
that is just beautiful -
good evening everyone work continues, but i never thought it would be this difficult, the main deck is fine, but matching the deck below is very slow (i will never make a model ship builder) sail room deck made up and fitted lower deck in and secure, was also pinned getting the lodging knee on the port side the right shape is my biggest concern, but it is in line and the right height for the hanging knee lower deck in and secure, was also pinned sail room buikhead and pillars in lining up the rest of the internal bulkeads the upper deck is just for the photo

Good evening everyone after a few good days on the build, yesterday i went backwards, the fwd mast step went into the wrong position and set before i realised, and then i varnished the internal decking with the wrong varnish, i was gutted, i dont even know how i allowed myself to do it today was much better the fwd mast step was salvaged, and although it might be a couple mm more fwd than it should be im pleased with it the two decks line up with it, and i seam to have plenty of room to put the number 1 deck beam in and the breast hook (please correct me if im wrong) nothing i can do with the varnish, oh hum (another monster) tomorrow i will cleam up all the forward frames so they look better in the photo's

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.
