Bow top rail and timbers.....why is it that when you offer a dry fitting and it fits perfectly...when you add glue it doesn't?....one of life's mysteries.
-
lately i have been using some aliphatic rapid wood glue......best glue i have used for ages,,,,i've used the standard stuff for years but this is a great discovery for me. Where have i been all these years?
-
belay pin rack....I've added a brass rod to the bottom of each post for added security when attaching to the deck. And in position on the fordeck.
-
ships wheel and binnacle....the binnacle was painted with an oak paint and primer to cover the etched brass then the glass was obtained by using a soft HB pencil.
-
the camera doesn't pick all the mistakes up....compared with some of the builders on here my efforts pale.
-
I joke about the price in London.......send me your address and i'll post you a real English Ale....some of these breweries here have been producing beer for well over 200 years. Yes I miss flying the microlights....I was once at around only 500 ft when two RAF Tornado jets went underneath me, they didn't know I was there....that was cool....
-
the bulk of the plans are not too bad......my son frightens me to death but that what he does.....I skydive for a hobby, used to fly microlight aircraft and most dangerous of all used to go potholing, so after scaring the hell out of my parents it is payback time....I think he has more of my genes than his mothers...

I bought this kit for the princely sum of £10 for my son to have a go at....needless to say he isn't interested...he is a freeclimber who hangs off cranes and buildings so building a model doesn't do it for him...the kit and plans have started to deteriorate so along with building Bellona I am going to start this one before it goes beyond building. I have no idea what sort of quality constructo is but here goes.
-
I need a single malt after those two pillars. Later realised that these two pillars were placed wrongly......they belong further underneath the poop deck along side of the ships wheel and a single pillar in front of the binnacle......see further along the build log for photo details.

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.
