    Good evening everyone the main mast is now in position, i have placed it earlier than i wanted to, to prove/or not. that the rigging plans work. it was def confused dot.com today when i realised not all the back stays go to the same location,

    good morning on my Amerigo foremast there are quite a few backstays with attach to the hull with bottle screws, are the lines kept individual or in pairs? like on the shrouds which i doubt or one end to each side NOT MY PHOTOs

    i would still use a primer and go with Admiralty paints, just as they are as true to the real thing as possible (subject to the Pink HMS Victory) admiralty paints - Bing images
  13. Kevin
    very nice
  14. Kevin
    problems aside, i think you have made a stunning job of this, well done
  15. Kevin
    if i was brave enough i would love to re-rig my Victory
  16. Kevin
    oh very nice
  17. Kevin
    good afternoon well i put in the three lines, replacing the two that i had in position, but not fitted, these are white, and although not confirmed i believe these are steel on the real vessel, but i am constantly moving away from the kit, lol nothing seams to be in the right place,
  18. Kevin
    the bulkheads look very thin and fragile, i agreee with the balsa infills is a template in the kit for marking out the gunport locations
  19. Kevin
    however im confused the build i am following has three ropes going forward, but two lines seam to come from the same mouse
  20. Kevin
    Good morning everyone with the foremast shrouds in place, i am going to proceed with the front end standing rigging, as the main mast is not ready (or needs adapting) forestays time to bring the serving machine back out, not seen the light of day for quite a few years, it was very dusty and had a little light rust/corrosion on the rope feeders, so i stripped it down, and put a plastic sleeve through the rope holes to stop it marking the white thread you can see the rust marking the thread, do this line eventually went to the bin my first attempt which i think is to short and mouse to large made thes to long but maybe a better mouse
  21. Kevin
    lovely work my friend, lol that reminds me i have a 1/72 version somewhere, abandoned to to airbrushing skills, (or lack off)
  22. Kevin
    thank you
  23. Kevin
    and so very nice to see her back
  24. Kevin
    i was enjoying the Enterprize build very much, but it was slated in a FB group, and somewhat threw me off my perch, hence the restart of the AV, i dont have the skills for a full scratch and this was at the time the best kit for it, im now ready to get on with her, but so enjoying me present build, so i will continue with that for a while longer
  25. Kevin
    non of my builds are worthy of this much trouble and expense, i will have to make do with my EOS 1300 outside lighting and a wheely bin

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.
