    good afternoon everyone sails the supplied material is washed in 70/30 water pva mixture and allowed to dry, this stops the material fraying cutting the material to the 1/1 plans and drawing the seam lines in, these lines were then sewn over by the admiral, reinforcing strips added i have done both sides

    good evening everyone took the build outside to get some better photos, and of course the wheelie bin, which i think has been in every log, but very windy here today and the build is very light, the standing rigging continues

    i made a policy a long time ago that anything i add to the side of a hull or mast to be pinned, never had a misshap since

    good evening everyone from a very windy Somerset, but dry, might even get some gardening done tomorrow wrt the build the rigging has started, and the stays are going in its such a shame that the instructions are pants, going by the steps the brass runners go up the masts and are pinned into position, tonight i realise the stays go behind them lol ho hum sorry for the crap photos, to get any detail in landscape i impossible as she is to large, when in portrait to picture turns 90 degrees

    Good evening everyone been a good day, took the Boi out on 3 walkies and never got wet once as for the build,, the hull, masts and fittings are complete, other than two spars that are stowed on the deck, i might not bother with them i had to scratch the fwd skylight, i remember removing them at the start of the build, put them in a safe place, but forgot where that place is, no doubt they will be found when the Amerigo comes back to the table later this week Deck blocks skylights and a few progress shots

    Good morning everyone. thank you for likes and comments well i sorted the brass trollies out, i managed to break one, but a couple of spares are provided. they are now all the right way arouns cutting the rebates for the mast spares was next and they are now firmly fixed into position, the brass track running down the front mast is also on, but i don't see how that works at present, instruction are quite vague
  21. Kevin

  25. Kevin
    good evening everyone lots of little projects happening at the same time, the guard rails were fun to do, cutting the length of brass tube into 30mm lengths, resizing the feet as they are offset drilled a cap a split pin make up one of the ten required two of the 3 covers are now complete, i will have to make a new shell for the third as it had been lost the sail trollies, a nice simple job, fold to fit the runner, but fold the right way, no my way, all are having to be flattened out and shaped the right way these are still to be done

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.
