    good evening everyone Day 59 after 1/2 deck compartments i hope these are going to work, everything is removable at present, the extended posts might come in handy when the lower deck beams are put in

    Good evening everyone thankyou for the likes and comments Day 58 after 1/2 deck compartments lol its the longest time that the after 1/2 deck has not been removed, and relocated to the rubbish bin, and whats more surprising, is the fact that i am now adding bits on top as the storage compartments come into play, i am of course jiggling bits around, as i am building the Enterprise, but only have References to the Pandora, so as a result some of the areas are not the correct size, but they hopefully wont look to stoooooooooooooopid

    Good morning everyone day 58 redo of after 1/2 deck sorry, i have not been around much recently, life got in the way since the last post, i restarted the 1/2 decks yet again, i was struggling on getting everything level and on the centreline, i found that making the modules away from the hull far harder than it needed to be lol after pulling it all apart, i then realised why i could not get the line line spot on, it was because one side in planked, and constantly throwing me out anyway the after 1/2 deck is redone and secured within the frame, as it is going to be so low in the vessel, i also opted to do away with the exposed beams, as quite frankly they looked quite naff the forward bulkheads not look as bad as they do in the phot, but maybe i had better redo them as well not the best photos, i am now looking at the best way to make up the bulkheads

    i keep giggling to my self when i made up the new signature above my name Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on
  9. Kevin
    i certainly do @Old Collingwood but not there that many times. in my 34 years

    The beams are fully lased through the billet, the slots are marked only, so the wood still has to be removed, to a depth of 1mm, all the beams are 2x 3mm joined glued together
  11. Kevin
    there is a set cost for each of the lasered billets, its by no means an easy choice, as i feel i have taken the easy route out, and added unnecessary cost to the build
  12. Kevin
    Thank you OC HMS Covid will continue along these lines, i will make it work, if it was easy, it would,,,,,,,,,,,,, well ...................be easier

    good evening everyone day55 after section lower deck i tried and tried to cut/mil/scroll/trace,shout at, but failed in making any presentable deck beams, never mind all the bits that goes with it, for me it was going to be a tall order and i did not want to just go and do the basic kit, so i sulked for a day and decided to adapt the upper deck to fit, then order another main deck at a later date so i have made a lot of the upper deck set and then cut them down to size to fit the lower deck support beams, i dont know if this is going to work, but its all part of kevs joiurney, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on the after beams that cover the 1/2 deck are temporary spaced apart and as everything removeable at this time i can now work out the bulkheads for storerooms etc away from the hull
  14. Kevin
    lol perhaps the answer is to have a day off in returns and enjoy being together
  15. Kevin
    thank you for your comment, at last ii have worked out where i saw the stream powered submarine build, it was lovely to see the photos again
  16. Kevin
    lol im not going to get that radius on my MF70 am i then, brilliant work
  17. Kevin
    Good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes Day 52 well the after 1/2 decks are well on the way to completion, i will have a better idea how to do the larger front ones, but i may leave that for a while and try to ensure i have the skills to start the deck above so that i can see if the storerooms fit
  18. Kevin
    now you are well and truly back, will we be seeing lots of updates, like the good old days lol
  19. Kevin
    very nice indeed, will you ever go back to the fair American, i was hoping you could show me how to do the great cabin deck
  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 51 1/2 deck reworks i have spent the last day or do getting used to my power tools, at last i am getting confident with them so on the 4th attempt i have one of the after 1/2 decks that fits the hull and im happy with it the size is right and the height, however the wood used is not true to scale, but for now im going with it, again 1/2 will be planked, the slightly lower one is still being made, im unsure of the names for these decks, ( i will find out)
  21. 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.
