    good afternoon everyone i will have to rethink the belaying pin racks, the kit provides for 7 pins on all masts this needs to be at least 13, so i will have to go back a scratch my head please let me know if you are getting bored of my updates, i love to show the ups and downs of my builds, but im happy to cut down to once a week if it is desired not my photo the balcony work continues

    Good evening everyone Thank you for likes and comments i have started pinning parts in place, nothing will be fixed until i have put the right colour green in the upper banding prop is now fitted, and the stern decoration is in place, to get this to fit i sanded the reverse side, it was a lot easier to get into the right shape after taking 2mm off tonight first test fit of the veranda, in the first build, this was miles out, this time nothing has been filed to get a fit everything is pinned but not secured im waiting for some strips to arrive to put under the green banding, that will hide the over painting need to look at that gap, not seen it before

  8. Kevin

    good afternoon everyone photo of the AV on top of the wheelie bin, i no longer want to just open the lid and drop her in it. the lockers still need some form of covering at the front, wip
  10. Kevin
    possibly with a dowel through the deck from the carriage

    Thank you Dennis im actually enjoying it this time, at present i am scratching the lockers that caused me to abandon the build 10 years ago, on building these i realised that the side entry access hatches were in the wrong place, although they were kind of corrected, i lost heart, and bought the Victory thank you also for the likes, its nice to be posting a lot more again, hope you and family are well,
  12. Kevin
    very nice, i found card much harder than wood to get a decent result, hence to non progress of the SD14
  13. Kevin
    Good evening Everyone thank you @ccoyle for amending the title, i must do better when naming my logs more progress today, and im happy with the green. i am in no hurry to put the veranda on, it would be far to easy for me to break it
  14. Kevin
    lol i so wish ir was
  15. Kevin
    does that include banana and peanut butter sandwiches
  16. Kevin
    the Caldercraft is a good kit, but decent reference material is required as the plans are lacking, some great builds on her , HMS Victory by gil middleton - FINISHED - Caldercraft - 1:72 - Page 25 - - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800 - Model Ship World™ i also attempted it but poor in comparison
  17. Kevin
    good evening Mike, just catching up on what everyone is doing, thats a nice looking build, lol to small for my eyes though, looking forward to the next update
  18. Kevin
    thanks guys, it will certainly be different
  19. Kevin
    good evening everyone all the upper portholes and airports have now been fitted, and the recessed rivets have been replaced, i hope to have all the upper works in green tomorrow, then decide if i like it or not, otherwise i will rip it all off and restart
  20. Kevin
    sorry i did read your post incorrectly
  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.
