    Good morning John, i have seen this photo before, gave me some great ideas last time i saw it
  3. Kevin
    yes, each one is slightly different, so they are made up, ready to be painted

    good evening everyone CUT AWAY ABANDONED Been away a couple of days, and LOL not because i was sulking, but been planning more on how to display this monster when completed these were the photos that convinced myself that at this stage the cutaway was not going to work, the boiler is scaled down by about 10 to 15% and the damage required to fit is not worth the trouble. therefore i have finally abandoned the idea, the diorama gets the proper go ahead

    Good morning everyone i was reading my own log last night, and i said i would open her up, somehow along the way I seam to have forgotten about it, is it time to rethink the idea, or just go for it? NOT MY PHOTO, not even my build

    Just catching up, fantastic build, i can assure you that it is one of the strangest feelings ever to have an intense control room, and have two planesmen controlling depth and course, when you are not facing direction of travel, depth keeping is an art, and hard to judge, trimming of a vessel up or down when you then lean left or right as a result
  13. Kevin
    wonderful build, lovely to see you posting again
  14. Kevin
    good evening everyone the fish pond slats have still to be stained, but the gutter boards are now fitted and for the photo i have just placed the bits and pieces in roughly where they are to be fitted, bu at present i am missing a piece the seals the stbd bulkhead under the waleback, which is a real pain as i have been looking for a week now i cannot remember what these are and this was made up
  15. Kevin
    you have nothing and your builds turn out so much better then mine, keep safe my friend
  16. Kevin
    please finish her

    good morning my friend, lovely to catch up on your build, they look great i think i retired at the wrong time, perhaps you can blame me for the world falling apart, because ever since the end on Jan it has here in the UK, it has been very interesting watching how our government has handled the plague, lots has been done to support a vast majority of workers, and support shown for all the front line services Its a strange world, but for the first time in my life i am getting board of the BBC news reporters and there interpretation of events, LOL they had 3 years of Brexit and telling us how it could not be done, and it was, and since then they have not been able to report on anything apart from the weather and the corvid outbreak, telling us that this or that is not going to work and it has i quess that if i was working, i would be less aware of what was going on, rather than hearing or seeing updates every 2 minutes, still i am getting my build done, DIY continues, weather is fantastic for gardening, plenty to eat and drink, so for me a day in retirement, is no different to being retired
  18. Kevin
    what a lovely build, sorry im late to the party
  19. Kevin
    very nice, look forward to seeing this progress
  20. Kevin
    i dont think i have posted on a car build before, thank you for posting, love the video of the wire wheels makeup, lol where can i use that skill on my boats,
  21. Kevin
    good evening everyone Fish Ponds well that took a lot longer than anticipated, about 150 cuts of strip wood, took me most of the day, but for now it looks ok. I still gave to adapt the bottom board to sit tight to the deck, and then see if i can simulate handles, or cut slots out to enable lifting, and then weather, and put back into the same position they were removed from, Real world DIY tomorrow so hopefully by the weekend
  22. Kevin
    me again thats the hatch covers nearly completed, just a bit more dry-brushing
  23. Kevin
    im fine thank you, as is the wife and doggie, i finished the Victory last year, and did a bit on the SD14, but presently have the St Nectan on the table, great to hear from you, and hope you will be around and staying with us
  24. Kevin
    good evening everyone Fish Hatches well back to the pointy end, and the fish hatches Balsa wood, sprayed back and dry-brushed to tone it all down,
  25. Kevin

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.
