    i dont care what happens to my builds when im gone, infact if i did not post on the forums then apart from my wife and doggie, no one would know they even existed to that end, checking the ebay, it is full of model ships that have been handed down to people that dont want then, their fates are sealed and will end in landfill, i doubt many non museum pieces will exist after 100 years, as we all start to live in smaller and smaller properties on the other hand, i love what i build and proud that i made it, not built for a time span other than my own

    i dont think that would work, as it may mess up the alignment to everything else, , wales, stern fittings etc
  3. Kevin
    another option to to put balsa between the bulkheads, and sand to fit. will give you some thing to lay the single planking over
  4. Kevin

    Good evening everyone this cabin i think is called the chicken coup, no idea why, and i dont think chicken are involved i still have to purchase some smaller portholes to finish it off and paint it the fwd house has had to be scratched, as it kind of exploded, after several attempts to salvage it i gave up and made a new one, not brilliant but looks ok apart from the mast, these deck fittings will now be used
  8. Kevin
    welcome your hardest part is not starting each kit without completing the previous one lol
  9. Kevin

  11. Kevin
    Good evening everyone the the after house is completed with the exception of the aldis lamp front (lost for now) lots to do but some of the work will be delayed whilst i replace some of the lost/used bits, annoying but my fault
  12. Kevin

    Good evening everyone well the balcony is completed, i was going to do the stern railings next, But i dont have aby stanchions, i used them on the 1/72 Fife Dam
  15. Kevin
    Good evening everyone all the pin rails throughout the kit are wrong so i have attempted to adapt the supplied ones, my ordered paint arrived todat, so was able to move on with the stern,, this has now been panelled im struggling tonight getting the balcony panels to fit, - yes i mixed them up in error (schoolboy error) the instructions didnt do anything to help the situation, although im not blaming them
  16. Kevin
    nice ti see the build back
  17. Kevin

  18. Kevin
    welcome to MSW, good luck with your build
  19. Kevin
    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
  20. Kevin
    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
  21. Kevin
    thats good news
  22. Kevin
    so sorry to hear
  23. Kevin
    very nice, the detail looks fantastic lol wonder how many i would have in my fleet now if i stuck to 1/350, and not the larger scale builds
  24. Kevin
    lol i cannot keep waiting 14 years every time i mess up though
  25. 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

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.
