    Good evening everyone today the main parts of the bowsprit were made up, a 3mm block is required under the mast support to get the requited angle 33 degs i think

    good evening everyone mess about with the fore mast and getting some of the extra bits in place, plus more practice at soldering the radar cage is my design as a improvement over the kit and a bit of a copy of @schiffebastler, lol after all its his fault im doing all this extra work

    good evening everyone its getting to the stage now where everything i do is being remade (hopefully better Foremast on the lower part of the mast there is a coller and 4 holes need to be drilled into it, and pintles inserted through which a wire hoop is fitted, this has hooks hanging from it an supports the cope coils from the pin rails (Just below the awning) this is the kit way i can do better i said the searchlight platform fitted the radar according to the kit is hung below main top in fact it is not and forms part of the planform also other things are changing as i go along like extra holes on the top for lines to pass through tonight she looks like this why are parts of the mast painted white?

    good evening everyone after several attempts to make a pin rail i have one that is very nearly how i would like it, i have increased the belaying pins from the kit qty 7 to 19 and keeping the footprint the same size, it could possibly be made a bit narrower under the pin level i have managed to get the right amount middle pullies from 7 to 12 but the ends should be 5 where as i can only get 2 and possibly 3, i may run with this for now i have now decided to build up the foremast, to ensure my colour scheme works and to get an idea on how the revised rigging will work

    this is the main mast so if i remake the foredeck ones, i have a real issue with the fittings already in place, boy its going to be cramped up there one good thing is that not everything is secured in place, and those that are have been pinned
  15. Kevin
    good morning everyone i was recently given access to a lot of Amerigo information and there is a lot of it, of course most of the drawings relate to masts and rigging, and pin rails of course these are provided as part of the kit i remade one pair to replicate a build here on MSW to double the size but it seams i am still out by 50% but
  16. Kevin
    that looks so very nice, you have a very busy workshop at present
  17. Kevin
    good evening Robby its always helpful to provide us with a little more info on what you are looking for however the search engine her on MSW is very good due to way the forum is set up by typing in clipper gives you this, and will show you a few examples on ongoing or completed works on here Showing results for 'clipper'. - Model Ship World™

    good evening everyone i must be 80% complete on the deck fittings now, and half of them are now fixed into position, i have thrown my toys out of the pram quite a few times over the 1/1 deck plans are they dont bear any resemblance to the instructions and certainly not the ship its self, going to interesting when it gets to the rigging as the plans are about 2/3 the scale of the 1/84 most of the kit items are being adapted to take more belaying pns, but in the same size carcass
  20. Kevin
    So glad the case is sorted
  21. Kevin
    looking very good

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.
