    Good morning everyone, worked late last night, sorting the wiring out, the power supply connections are now in position, each connection brings another ray of light into the build, hopefully today, subject to DIY projects the top section will be powered up at the same time as the hull for the first time
  2. Kevin
    thats a novel and brilliant idea to use the outside section of the frames, for the deck support
  3. Kevin
    good morning everyone getting the hull ready to accept the superstructure, prop shaft and rudder fitted but they are removable, in case someone else takes the hull in the future and wants to make her water tight, they will also have to fill another couple of holes as the power supply connectors are going to be fitted into the hull just under the bilge keel, this will be the same side as the dock side when in its diorama, most likely port side to, that way no wires will be seen

    2 kits for the price of one, and no one outside MSW will know thew difference,

    bulk load the phot as you have been doing, they will auto load when you post, but in the drop box you can select each photo and insert or delete one at a time to place directly into the post

  7. Kevin

    good evening everyone its been a strange few months, i thought that being retired, life would be great, and it is, but obvious things outside my garden are not, But after a couple of weeks feeling quite low/fed up, i have pulled myself back together and the St Nectan continues i have gone back to the superstructure now and have sorted the bridge wings, and today most of the lighting has been commissioned, all working for the first time, i will work on no flash photos in the next few days, i have a remote built in that will control the brightness, navigation lights will have there own power supply

    just read your log from the start, lovely work, and an enjoyable couple of hours, thank you
  11. 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
  12. Kevin
    glad you finished her, she looks great
  13. Kevin
    catching up with old friends, where are you Patrick?
  14. Kevin
    Sjors where are you?
  15. Kevin
    personally i would use white PVA and pin it in place, and as mark said the planking would cover the hole
  16. 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
  17. Kevin
    oooooooo David, Coppering, lol we all love coppering your build looks fantastic, i might evern get to start another build this summer
  18. Kevin
    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
  19. 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
  20. Kevin
    lol i might make them longer and have her as a paddle steamer
  21. Kevin
    actually they were one of the easiest bits of the build, the ladder handrails ( not fitted yet) took far longer
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. Kevin
    Wonderful build, and belated Happy Birthday
  25. Kevin
    what do you use for the radio wire, EZ line?

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.
