    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

    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

    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

    ty Mike, im enjoying this one its going to be a 1/96 carrier or same scale ferry next
  5. Kevin
    of course it depends on what it sells for, but seeing individual bits going at silly prices, i guess anything selling individual bits would recoup itself

    good afternoon everyone the afterpart of the Amerigo build up continues storage boxes once yellow have been put pack to wood, with a brass securing band companion ladders made up and now in place, they were a bit of a pain to look semi decent

    good evening everyone after deck awning stanchion the instructions, say 40mm bend 5mm and hammer flat the last 2mm and drill 1mm hole in the flat bit x 12 must be a better way, so i took 35mm bend 5 and added a pintle on the end by soldering x 12, these will be added to the build this week, lol i see so many snag hazards later on with the rigging, im going to curse this so very much i dont know what these look out posts are called, but again i have replaced gluing with soldering, there is not a lot of room for them, i will have to shorten the hand rail by a couple of mm NOT MY PHOTO, this is what i am trying to achieve

    good evening everyone some of you are aware i have restarted my Amerigo Vespucci. by Panart/Mantua, which had been on the shelf of doom for many years and although not copying, i am trying to make it better with some better aftermarket fittings this is my got o log for this build Amerigo Vespucci by schiffebastler - Mantua - scale 1:84 - Italien sail training ship build 1931 - - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1901 - Present Day - Model Ship World™ with 27 sails, i think i will need in excess of 400 blocks of various sizes, where do i source decent ones from in the UK, the one i have are pretty poor to say the least will be a good month or so away from needing them, but obtaining them will take my mind of my next project lol
  17. Kevin

    good evening everyone i redid the derrick mast, 40mm to long was something that was going to look a bit stoopid, one on the right is the correct length the funnel has been stripped back of colour the stern railings are now in position, although the capping has still to be sanded down the stern lifeboat davits have also been made up and inplace but not fixed

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.
