    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

    good evening everyone Day 41 limber boards i think about half will be hidden under the half decks, and the other half might be under cargo, so yep maybe a waste od time, for enjoyment i give myself 10/10, quality of my work 2/10 for those unknowing this is the lowest part of the vessel and where water collects and access is allowed to pump or bale

    sanding has been minimal, and most of that was done with a mouse sander, any thing else has been with sandpaper wrapped around parts of the framing jig, as the parts are at right angles its a very handy sanding tool

    thats going to look nice arriving at its destination
  11. Kevin
    i love the way you say that you leave imperfections so it doesn't look like resin
  12. Kevin
    come and build mine, im out of my comfort zone
  13. Kevin
    im adding the full lower deck and the two 1/2 decks, just like @iosto did, but just using the Pandora book and his photos (should be a fun watch lol)
  14. Kevin
    Good evening everyone Day 40 correction of transom, main deck and lower deck support beams well i sorted the wrong bits out, and now everything is the same height (lol it may all be wrong, but the same wrong all over) the main deck support is now right, i fully removed it to enable removal of cant 57, this allowed me to redo the lower deck support the 1/4 deck still needs to be adjusted but its ideal for keeping the after frames lined up at present i am playing about with the 1/2 decks, but at the same time sorting the (limber boards) either side of the keel inside the hold
  15. Kevin

  16. Kevin

  20. Kevin
    good evening everyone there are two things in life i dread to hear 1. i want a divorce 2 the back end of your Enterprise is wrong im sure there 100's of others lol im still married so that leaves number 2 basicly i screwed up on the last pair of cants, which i ignored, then tried to make it look right with the transom, and then it bit me when the deck supports went in, so i have been sorting it out the last few days, this all came to pass when i showed @cafmodel anyway, i will be putting the deck beams back in tomorrow and try to make some progress the camera angle does not help but the port side was 5mm out
  21. Kevin
    lol now everyone knows where to come and see my bad model making
  22. Kevin

    welcome Jason This is for me the ultimate build, possibly the last big scale i will ever be able to afford do, so i am not going to worry so much about it, and just do it, intentions are for internal decks, masting and sails, in a 3 to 4 year time scale, its a great kit, and fun at the same time, as its all the elements i have dealt with in the past and now i get to understand how and why they are made like that

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.
