    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

    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

    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)

    good evening everyone, two post in one day and managed to get two episodes of Hornblower in, just love that series day 49 1/2 deck framing/planking still very much work in progress, a question for all you good people out there these 1/2 decks, how were they supported, i see no deck support beams, i do see upright post, but nothing to secure it to the ships hull this afternoon i planked the port side, only then realised that the hatch covers need to be flush with the deck, not raised
  19. Kevin
    love the bench effects,

    good morning everyone Day 47 i had a long discussion with the dog, he understands me more, and listens more than the wife, and treenailing came up, coctail sticks wasnt going to work on the lower deck, but the illusion was required so holes were drilled, and light wood paste was used rubbed in, allowed to dry and sanded, fo far we have come up with this, the lower deck support is just going back in

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.
