    good evening everyone well most of the foremast is complete now, brackets for navigation lights, and placing some of the blocks, along with rope ladders still to be made although temp in place for now i then run a few of the lines from the bowsprit through and im quite happy with the result next im thinking of making up the main and mizzen im getting used to just making bits, they are not always pretty netting completes the foremast top

    thank you i am perhaps doing more soldering than required, and i think i am getting better, the one thing about the metal work, is that its a lot stronger than traditional Evergreen (other plastic bits are available), and once i left the bare metal on the upper deck it seamed to make sense to me to follow it on through the build

    thank you for the comments, makes me feel much better i have always wanted to avoid sounding childish over comments made, but thats the main reason i switched to doing the Aedes Ars diorama over the charismas period, whilst i decided on actually getting on with the AV it is slightly more difficult to avoid the trolls and comments some times, being a MSW Social Media Moderator, and perhaps i over reacted, but the comments at the time went much further i have still quite a way to go on the AV, and would love to completed her now rather than switching back

    thank you Jason, i stopped doing it when i was slated on a FB group, comments like how i should have left it to someone who knew what they were doing etc, kind of upset me in a way, im not sure if the confidence will return, and if it does i certainly will think twice before showing others

    So sorry i never followed this build, she looks fantastic, well done
  6. Kevin

    good evening everyone the foremast continues, everytime i look at the donar build, i see something new to add, looks like rope ladders next seams like a lifetime away from getting close to this
  8. Kevin
    thanks James, i can see a few experienced builders redoing this, and bringing to an even higher level
  9. Kevin
    thank you OC i am quite happy with what i am doing, i would be over the moon, if i knew what being done was the right size
  10. Kevin
    lovely work,
  11. Kevin
    good evening everyone did a bit more to the display area, including rearraigning the ring main and ,moving eclectic sockets, i just want to put a extension lead in there to power the St Nectan and any other build that might have lights fitted, and fit the windows back onto the build today, and the foremast i presume the futtock shrouds are the right name for this type of vessel the top platform on all masts has spreaders fitted, another item not mentioned in the kit, aft of the platform is what i presume to be another line guide, i have no measurements for any of this, just trying to follow another build, but if wrong, i will do again futtock shrouds
  12. Kevin
    are you going to cut the doors out and remake them look a bit battered, or you could weather then to get an aged look, its going to look great . because you are good at what ever you do
  13. Kevin
    WOW What a stunning build
  14. Kevin
    personally i would mount the masts first, as all the standing rigging will be hampered by the spars, and then mount the yards with all the required footings and blocks
  15. Kevin

  19. Kevin

  20. Kevin
    i had to learn to solder, it is getting better as i tend to find reasons to do it now, learnt about different temp solders and found carrs green brilliant the etch primer i should think is out of date now i hate airbrushing, hence abandoned the build, i have a decent compressor, evolution guns, and never ever got a decent result on anything
  21. Kevin

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.
