    good evening everyone well the redo's returned today and hopefully the 1st netting looks tidier the 2nd one then made up and into place she has gone, i have two more to make up but requires more lines to go in to secure them still neds a tidy up and some loose ends sorting out, im happy

    good evening everyone the safety nets are now in the process of being made up, i made a rough template in card, then bent some 0.6mm wire round the shape and fixed the net to the wire. Sprayed with black primer and fitted to the lines, i think the scale is to small, but better than my alternative, looking at these photos i may just take it off and use a thinner thread

    good evening everyone its fine ripping old builds up and restarting, BUT you need to put everything back i have known for weeks/months that i had a problem with the foremast, i never put in any of the sub decks which helps line the mast up, to stop it falling off the keel this late in the build i had no option but to eventually resolve the issue i remeasured the mast and saw that it is a few mm to long, so i cut a slot in the base, and it works, the mast is now in place and permanently fixed spent the rest of the day tidying up the bowsprit rigging this should be completed over the weekend

    hello my friend, hows it going?
  16. Kevin
    can you show us some of the castings please, looking to see what the detail is like
  17. Kevin
    the advantage of planking it would be if you decided to light section up
  18. Kevin

  23. Kevin
    i am making my own ropes, using the @Alexey Domanoff VR 3.1 machine and Mara 30, 70, 100 and 120 threads
  24. Kevin
    lol sometimes i wonder if i have ever learnt anything in model boat building yes i have only built kits, and as a result i used in most cases what is supplied, but today i noticed that with the revised build details the call out for the Amerigo is 16 sizes of rope, 8 cordage and the same in steel, but what i didnt know was that even the shrouds are different diameters
  25. Kevin
    please finish it, it will be something to remember him by

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.
