    Good afternoon everyone nothing much to write about on this build, its just a matter of keep adding bits to it, hopefully i will attract new followers when it comes to masting, and making my own rope and sails but for now its more brass, wheelie bins and some sunshine

    Good evening everyone you lot must be sick of asking stoooooopid questions i ordered the Dormanoff ropewalk and it has been despatched i have read loads of articles and, basically got quite confused, not because of how to make it, but material to use, i have eventually found a source in the UK for Guntermann but although they do the sizes 120, 100, 70 and 30 as per @Chuck article the colours are not i read somewhere that you can get good results by colouring white rope after its made, reason for asking is that i have just ordered some white with that intention, but dont know where i saw the article or dreamt i it

    i was going to leave it, and let it age like me, But if there are any solutions , which don't involve me removing each bit to protect, IM listening, and thank you Mike
  9. Kevin
    i did initially bid on it, but it went for £82 , with quite a bit of interest at the end, thats ok if you wanted a box of bits, but nothing to build a kit from

    good evening everyone on the stern, all the awnings are in place along with the lower part of the davits, each time i look at others builds i see more detail to be added Midships is now getting the attention, another set of stairwells, and hatch ways are now in place the Kit 8 arrived today for the masts, i bought it as the replacement parts i wanted came far more expensive and not all available
  13. Kevin

    good evening everyone well thats the awning stanchions and the lower part of the davits now in place, not much of an update, but someone might be interested the awnings were made up in post 77, and were fitted directly into the hull and a bracket the davits are one piece with inserted into a collet, then drilled and 1mm wire inserted, this again is inserted into the hull and with another bracket, stbd side tomorrow

    although i used C/A glue. evostick was used at the time by other builders Evo-Stik Impact Adhesive - 250ml | Wickes.co.uk EvoStik IMP2250 Solvent Free Impact Multi-Purpose Adhesive 250ml 346666 - - Amazon.com but with a 2nd planking that good, i would avoid the tiles lol
  21. Kevin
    everything is fine here as well, both the admiral and i have had the 1st jab, 2nd due soon
  22. Kevin

  23. Kevin
    Good evening everyone thank you for likes and comments the catheads stripped from yellow, and now black bow decorations and figurehead on and railings in place around the funnel area o and the boi had a bath
  24. Kevin
    i normally use a matt varnish/ water based, and most woods are workable again within the hour, but i tend to dilute it a little on first coat
  25. Kevin
    Amerigo first , but the list at present is down to three, a nice big scale clipper, not found one yet the ferry Norland/Norstar by linkspan Linkspan Models but really fancy the Carrier Hermes, by Sirmar but just might be far to much scratch for me, plus the problem with me building aircraft, HMS Hermes (sirmarfittings.com) and as you all know i might change my mind again

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.
