    thank you, but you are going to the trouble of all the extra brass work, maybe mine will take another 7 years just like the Victory, as no doubt it will get left behind when the Enterprise arrives, i have told the Admiral that the Dorade will get completed next month the two builds I had in my stash as next on the todo list , Deans Marine Komet, and Billings Cutty sark, went onto Facebook market place and were sold within the hour

    good morning everyone i have spent many hours doing the hull, so decided to take the step and put white primer on, what a difference there are still issues with the hull finish, but they may have to stay now, but compared to where it was last month (well im happy) there are several builds i am following @ken3335 and @schiffebastler here on MSW so i keep looking for bits i can do that are not included in the instructions, which are basically a waste of trees eyebrows, i first came across these on the Victory build and then realised all ships have them, these will all be yellow ochre, i am at this time not going to contrast everything with bright shiny metal work,

    thank you OC, been pushing this build on, she is getting much needed time spent on her, i am now passed where i left her off all those years ago, and looks so much better in white primer (pictures to follow)

    actually, im not sure that i am brave enough anyway, the rivet counters would have me hung drawn and 1/48

    Good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes very much appreciated well the deck planking is done, just a couple of edges that need sorting, as it got quite thin on the edges for over sanding so far, every thing that was messed up last time has sorted its self out, although the boat seams to have got 10mm longer in 12 years, still growing maybe the main porthole strips on the port side went on with out any fuss, but i put an extra infill in to cover the 10mm gap i want to be brave and do a different colour scheme on her, any suggestions, as the decking is quite light, i was thinking about renaming her now and taking her a very different vessel I like her in this scheme will be interesting to find out how others feel, maybe now is the time to take to just a composite 3 master

  13. Kevin
    lovely review, After a couple of messages with @cafmodel i have part1 being dispatched from China today, I look forward to working on this, and creating a build log
  14. Kevin
    coming to the end of the best submarine built i have ever seen, and in all the time i have watched you bring this build together, i have not seriously wanted to try it myself, all the time i have spent at sea in one means i could not replicate the memories
  15. Kevin
    good evening everyone took a break from the Dorade for a couple weeks, as i wanted to progress the AV the hull has been sanded and primed 3 times now and as a result, it is much better, deck planking in 3mm lime, means she will look totally different to the real thing, thats by choice and intentional
  16. Kevin
    its going to be a lovely selling kit, Congratulations
  17. Kevin

  21. Kevin
    i always have my take on the the builds i make, no doubt she will be renamed in the coming weeks, possibly RUTH - my wifes name ( that will keep me out of the rivet counters prison
  22. Kevin
    ty John
  23. Kevin
    Good evening everyone Deck fittings continue, and now heavily into the mast work, i am still getting 10/10 from this build
  24. Kevin
    Very nice indeed, i will be back to mine in the next week or so on completion of the Dorade yes the port hole were a disaster first time around, i have backed some of them up this time with extra wood. i will have to wait a see if it works, do you have the product code for the cutter you used?,

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.
