    thank you Mike

    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

    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

    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

    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 ,

  7. Kevin
    love the weathered look on her, well done

    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
  9. Kevin

    Good morning John, i have seen this photo before, gave me some great ideas last time i saw it
  12. Kevin
    yes, each one is slightly different, so they are made up, ready to be painted
  13. Kevin
    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
  14. Kevin
    i didnt have internet during this build, i could have done so much more
  15. Kevin
    thus was my first ever wooden kit good luck, i loved building it
  16. Kevin

  17. Kevin

  18. Kevin
    lovely build, thank you for sharing
  19. Kevin
    lovely build, thank you for finishing her off
  20. Kevin
    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
  21. Kevin
    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
  22. Kevin
    wonderful build, lovely to see you posting again
  23. 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
  24. Kevin
    you have nothing and your builds turn out so much better then mine, keep safe my friend
  25. Kevin
    please finish her

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.
