    cheers....i dont get to hung up about accuracy and scale ....for me i just enjoy the build. Unless something on the model looks completely wrong I build as per the plans....the only thing I change is the rigging.....I always buy from ropes of scale to complete the model.

    my builds are full of mistakes.....knocks, scrapes, scratches, dints, ...i leave them in as it is the soul of the build....I hate to see a pristine build with no scratches and scrapes....mine have blood stains and errors to many to mention. For me it is the story of the build. The evidence of a builder putting everything into it......the errors and mistakes are what make the build personal.

    i have an old airfix kit of the Beagle which i am going to build with my grandson, but I must purchase the occre kit........is it a decent kit?

    adding the blocks and ropework to the yards seems a never ending task, but I am getting there slowly....very slowly..
  20. harlequin
    some of the yards have now got their attire.

    great build. Must try a Vanguard kit, but I have 3 corel kits to get through first, and that is after I complete HMS Endeavour which I am currently starting the rigging.

    cheers....my work is by no means perfect but i do enjoy what I do.
  24. harlequin
    masts now in situ......first couple of shrouds on either side.....let the rigging commence........getting closer to the dreaded rats...

    i have reached the masting stage on my Endeavour...this one is by Corel......interesting to see vast differences in the kits......very nice build Bill....whats your next one?
  30. harlequin
    using my minicraft drill lathe attachment to turn the yards. Got to be careful with the thin yards not to apply too much pressure, but this has served me well over the years. the range of minicraft has been discontinued for a while now but can still be found on ebay for sale. Range of small drills and various power tools that I love.

    great to see you still with Greyhound.....keep going with her....you will probably reach the stage like I always do that suddenly she looks like a ship......that she is progressing well......i reach that stage when i have built some of the deck furniture and temporarily placed them on the hull.....i stand back and she suddenly looks like a ship......I have reached the masts and yards stage in my latest build Endeavour, also by Corel......she looks like a ship now......I admire your tenacity not to give up with this kit......me and Hamilton lost what little hair we had left building this kit.....well not actually seen if Hamilton has any hair or not but this kit can do this to a builder......keep going and I look forward to more pics and progress from you...

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.
