    just read your log from the start, lovely work, and an enjoyable couple of hours, thank you
  2. Kevin
    good evening everyone starting from the front i am now working aft to ensure everything is where it should be, but not necessarily complete, taking her outside has allowed me to look for some missing bits and to clean her off again i never did find the otter board hinges, so make some glazing of some of the windows using white pva glue steam winch mounting board is now pinned into position, the winch will be one of the last items to be fitted and the boat deck supports get a yellow coat, these will be cut to size when the superstructure get fixed on, as they sit on top of the capping rail
  3. Kevin
    glad you finished her, she looks great
  4. Kevin
    catching up with old friends, where are you Patrick?
  5. Kevin
    Sjors where are you?
  6. Kevin
    personally i would use white PVA and pin it in place, and as mark said the planking would cover the hole
  7. Kevin
    have a look through these logs, im sure you will find your answer open up the wooden kits file, which downloads in a PDF format, each entry for Lady Nelson will take you to the relevant build log

    good evening everyone the waledeck is nearly complete apart from touch ups and weathering i added the chain stopper, but have no idea if it is correct or not, deck portholes are glazed with PVA glue, tomorrow i will tidy up the main deck and think about rigging
  10. Kevin
    Good evening everyone slowly the front end is looking like a, well, a front end, a very light weathering so far, not sure how far i will take that, railings and anchor capstan are secured, as well as the ladder, next the bollards, cleats, anchor and associated gear, and securing points for the stays will be hopefully in place by tomorrow night some of the remaing bits to be identified, cleaned up and a home on the build found for them
  11. Kevin
    lol i might make them longer and have her as a paddle steamer
  12. Kevin
    actually they were one of the easiest bits of the build, the ladder handrails ( not fitted yet) took far longer
  13. Kevin
    Thank you Edward, although very much in the early days, and im not racing ahead with it, but the log is ni my signature list below
  14. Kevin
    Good morning everyone Waleback fitting out getting the pointy end over the finishing line, the railings are still to be trimmed to size, nothing is fitted yet, i may use this area as a dumping fround when in the diorama setting, boxes, bikes, ropes, lol my mind runs riot with ideas, actually doing it is a different thing altogether my next build will be the Talisman Paddle steamer in cutaway, having failed to do it on here as promised
  15. Kevin
    Wonderful build, and belated Happy Birthday
  16. Kevin
    what do you use for the radio wire, EZ line?
  17. Kevin
    thank you Mike
  18. Kevin
    good evening everyone from the previous photo's you can see a wedge under the mast , this was not required this angle was to much so today i sorted it out, what happened was, i required a shim to fit the main mast, as per the instructions, and did the same for the foremast, not thinking that the deck was already providing the required angle, wedge removed, two part epoxy and pins made it more hard work than was needed, im happier now its now fixed back in place another fix sorted
  19. Kevin
    no its not the correct rake, i have just been doen stairs and put it on the display shelf, and it is raked to far back, i thought it was about rightin comparison with photo and the after mast, which is about right, the angle i took is not correct, so tomorrow i will remove some of the chim and make it look better, the rake to be set is not in the instructions here is what it should be like NOT MY PHOTO
  20. Kevin
    thank you Andy, lovely to hear from you, are you and family ok? being set in a diorama i wont need lights, other than to show they work for pre sea checks, but i could at least get the lens covers colour correct
  21. Kevin
    good evening everyone i see the light at the end of the tunnel, its getting brighter, and no its not a train in the opposite direction having spent ages messing around i decided to ensure the mast lights still worked, and they did, how ever, i am unsure of the lens colours to use, as i believe they were changeable, i have also get to sort out the night photos properly to show them off better the ladder to the wale-back is now in place as are the braces to support the fwd gallows ,
  22. Kevin
    looking great OC
  23. Kevin
    love the weathered look on her, well done
  24. Kevin
    Good evening everyone lots i dont understand about this build, there is so much more that could have been put down in the instructions, the forward gallows need to set so that the centre is above the middle of the rubbing bars, but they are not in the same position both sides so i have put them in place identical both sides, so yet another compromise, same goes for the position of the fish pond stations, they had to be re positioned tonight annoying as i had them all ready to be fitted oh hum, other than that loving this build, tomorrow i want to sort the ladder to the wale deck and get the mast fitted
  25. Kevin
    very very nice

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.
