    lol i told the wife and her reply was, dont understand why you didnt order it all at the same time, it would have cut down shipping costs and export duties

    hello and welcome to MSW
  12. Kevin
    Good evening eveyone day 17 fitting frames 8 to 26 this morning i managed a better clean up of frames 8 to 26, and made a decision (right or wrong) to go ahead and fit them, the elastic bands keep them in place whilst the glue sets, they have been pinned to strengthen them, the yellow lines are just highlighting the fact that frame 14 is not fitted, as it needs to be remade, no fairing of internal timbers has been made, other than removing the laser char,

    stunning
  14. Kevin
    it is the only way, with my lack of skills to make anything decent, i fully realise the amount of time required to scratch one of these, and admire you and all the others who do it the proper way

    Good evening everyone Day 16 keel and frame cleaning and test fitting not much to say, another 4 hours sanding, and cleaning ribs, tonight i put what frames that have been made in place, about 50% need more sanding to allow them to fit correctly
  16. Kevin
    good morning everyone Day 15 keel and frame cleanup about 6 hours work, and 20 frames are looking a lot better
  17. Kevin
    I made the kit back in the 70's and like all my models, not very well either, but saw a on another site recently, doing wire wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXmrvS8rHbA

    my last post has been updated, as I mixed up my Cants and Hawse
  19. Kevin
    actually i have been following this pocher build here on MSW
  20. Kevin
    actually, i prefer Derek
  21. Kevin
    lol who is Derek and thank you for correcting me, i will get that sorted out
  22. Kevin
    from the CAF site of the frames in the Jig
  23. Kevin
    of the 50 odd full frames about 3 are cleaned up and the keel is ready to accept them, all the forward 1/2 frames are cleaned up, but still to be angled to fit in the jig/keel, I hope to have most of the cleaning up done in the next week, i am at present working out if best to work forward or go aft reasons are 1 apparently the the stern timbers are awkward to fit whilst in the jig, 2 if working from fwd it will have to be from frame 2, as I am unsure of the space the Hawse timbers require, (all a learning curve)
  24. Kevin
    lol i am sure you can, but i wouldnt change it
  25. Kevin
    there you go, i see a smile on your face, but i hope the purple helicopter, with the men in white coats dont read this story

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.
