    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

    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

    Good evening everyone look long and hard at the build today, and decided to be a bit braver with her the yellow ochre is going, NO yellow Ochre on this build (subject to change), it is being replaced with Olive green, why i ask you say, and my thinking is ( i dont have an answer yet) anyway i am committed to the build and ordered some extra bits for her today, including olive green the banding is sitting better now, i altered a few bits today the ports i am experimenting with to see if it works
  15. Kevin
    Good evening everyone Hull well with the Dorade finished, its back to the Amerigo, the Enterprise will continue at some time in the future when my confidence returns so back to the banding, im having trouble sourcing some air ports/portholes they appear in the instructions as part number 202 and are 6.8 x 3.3, i need about 30 of them, but have plenty to so until i come up with a solution, buying kit number 3 is not really an option for some reason the banding is longer one side than the other so i have a gap to fill other then that, this for me is 1000% better than my previous attempt 11 years ago

  17. Kevin

  18. Kevin

    Good afternoon everyone the stand has now been made up properly and mounted on a stained pine shelf last night i finished a few last bits off, rope coils, safely rail and and the silly mounted navigation lights the last thing i did was put the name on, which is Dora, as she bears very little resemblance to the real item thank you to all those who have followed me i will put some reveal phots in the gallery later Thank you MSW for a lovely retirement gift
  21. Kevin
    thats some very tidy rope work
  22. Kevin
    any update with this build?
  23. Kevin
    lol i am moving faster now that im retired, but my Victory took 7 years, and not that well done either, St Nectan 13 months, and currant build started last June, but i keep moving on to other projects, when i see something different/better, the Amerigo was started in 2008 and went onto the shelf of doom the same year
  24. Kevin
    ratlines look very neat, as does the rest of the build
  25. 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.
