    @Ekis im still looking in everyday for an update, at present its my go to log for inspiration, although im practising with weathering i dont suppose the water will arrive until i have decided and then built a vessels, even then i don't have the space under the water height to put in a full hull
  2. Kevin
    good afternoon everyone well im happy with the basic shape of the harbour, and should not change much now, some walls have been replaced but the previous units will go into the town, one of the two lighthouse now have homes this afternoon i tried to do some basic weathering, agreed the tide line dont right tight, this will be the water lever so hopefully what is seen will be lightened or darkened, lol we all have to start somewhere
  3. Kevin
    welcome back

    good evening everyone well another sea wall made up, this is about 550mm long and hopefully will be sufficient to park a Tudor warship, if and when i get the chance to built one the basic layout is now taking shape and im happy with it, although i still have to think about ensuring the inside is secure from attack/nasty people

    good afternoon everyone i now have the basic outline of the harbour, the centrepiece, will be a future build of a Tudor warship at or around 1/70 to 1/90 scale just making up the last sea wall the entrance on the right will take us all into the town, the chest of drawers as so called needs a new position, so at present i am now working out what to do with the back high wall
  6. Kevin
    I dont know if there was much of safety rails in the tudor times, still looking
  7. Kevin

    good evening everyone back to basics today, yet again i have pulled my self in, and telling myself to concentrate on work already started, this tends to happen when im enjoying doing something so back to the the royal parade
  9. Kevin
    that is some lovely work my friend
  10. Kevin
    good evening everyone the build continues, and gets bigger weekly i wanted to try and attempt a bricks and wood structure, as this will form a lot of the buildings as it progresses forward, so i tried it with a large warehouse, as it will form part of the dockyard, i can just see a Tudor warship tied up alongside ( no dragons) that would certainly provide some reason for the royal parade i have no home for the warehouse at present a few other bits are coming together as well, as wall are being finished off

    good evening everyone quite a lot of changes and progress made since the last update, the palace/chest of drawers is now smaller, hopefully, it will look better than a block of flats when complete the tunnel has gone and the where the tunnel was a new wall has been made the royal route to the palace has changed as well the first wall i made on the right side jetty has been extended
  14. Kevin
    going to look brilliant im sure
  15. Kevin
    going to look something special when complete, I have also taken note of the display details for my Victory
  16. Kevin
    good morning everyone the royal palace is taking shape, the size is not over large, and will form part of the back drop, as in there will be no backs to this, one of the panels has already been removed to enable a matching look both sides hoping it will come to life a bit when the windows are made,
  17. Kevin
    thank you, i am trying hard not to spread it out to much this early in the build, but as everything is being buily as seperate units, i do chop and change some things around,, the courtyard over the top of the tunnels is the next to go i think
  18. Kevin
    well done OC, that will also give you some more room
  19. Kevin
    with Pleasant company and good friends with social distancing
  20. Kevin
    i have a good idea where this stage is going, but it does have a mind of its own, i knew that this might happen, out side of the river area i have no ideas at all. maybe, just maybe the town will just become a harbour, im open to ideas but for now i have plenty to do planning permission is not an issue, lol i lie a lot seriously though, since i retired, the wife is just happy for me to be at home i will most likely convert the first mancave into a home for the diorama 12'x 8' 4m x2.5m
  21. Kevin
    lol i haven't even thought about the town
  22. Kevin
    Good afternoon everyone its going to be very hard for me not going down the fantasy route, i so very much want this to be a medieval town, but already my head wants to try other things on this project, those that have seen Merlin, or Game Of Thrones, will know what im on about also i have broken another new years promise to complete a project before moving on, lol it lasted 10 days, must be a record several things dont work, here, the water mill. and the large tunnel, so something had to change, good bye water mill, i can work with the very large tunnel , the tunnel entrance may change size, or i will put something in front of it are palace is now being built up, the wife is not helping much, as she asked why i had built a cabinet full of drawers, also the early start of a new civic centre to the left of the laughing tower early start to the new civic centre with water inlet/ outlets royal palace, royal palace, or chest of drawers as the wife said
  23. Kevin
    absolutely stunning, i just love it
  24. Kevin
    the wall on top of the tunnel dont belong there
  25. Kevin
    good evening everyone well i just had to finish the platform, daft not to do do, my pageant pipers would fall through otherwise then onto the roof next project after this wall will be to make another, upto the arched bridge

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.
