  1. harlequin
    ships wheel and binnacle now added.....very little surface area on both the wheel and binnacle to apply glue so mixed a tiny amount of epoxy and applied to an area which cant be seen and then placed onto the deck and allowed the epoxy to run down to the deck to set.
  2. harlequin
    binnacle, ships wheel and a pillar waiting to be fitted ......
  3. harlequin
    Poop deck planksheers and false waterways fitted.
  4. harlequin
    ha ha....your true colours are showing.........a second planking putter offer.............just like me...........i do 2 or 3 second planking strips a day, sometimes just one and sometimes none at all......proper shipbuilder just like me.
  5. harlequin
    sharp tools and a ready supply of single malt scotch whisky is essential in my book.....especially the latter.....and learn to stop and walk away when things start to go wrong, there is always later.
  6. harlequin
    port and starboard gangways offered into place linking the quarter deck and foredeck.
  7. harlequin
    bit more done with the addition of the staircase entrance and quarter deck edging.
  8. harlequin
    main mast hole made with enough play to add the wedges when final fitting of the mast takes place.
  9. harlequin
    quarter deck planking now in place.....needs and good sanding down then onwards and upwards.
  10. harlequin
    quarter decks added and quarterdeck bulkhead cabin doors. The quarter decks don't fit very well but that can be covered with the tanganika planking still to be added.
  11. harlequin
    now that belay rack was glued into position I could then glue in the two halves of the quarter deck.
  12. harlequin
    two quarter deck halves in place offered up for final position, then I realised that the belay rack is virtually imposible to position once the quarter deck has been placed so belay rack completed c/w belay pins already in position for later.
  13. harlequin
    next job is the fitting and planking of the two plywood quarter decks, then the two gangways can then be fitted.
  14. harlequin
    quarter deck support beams added.
  15. harlequin
    plywood gangways planked with tanganika strips...need final sanding before fitting after the quarter decks.
  16. harlequin
    stove chimney fitted.
  17. harlequin
    skylight ....getting paint to stick to etched brass is a nightmare.
  18. harlequin
    Pillars added to the cabin doors, primed then painted yellow ochre and door knobs added.
  19. harlequin
    quarter deck bulkhead cabins.....parts 116 and 117 still need to be added.
  20. harlequin
    more grating and a couple of deck supporting pillars.
  21. harlequin
    bit more grating to the main deck.
  22. harlequin
    finished skylight.
  23. harlequin
    lengths of beech board are then glued to the top to provide a moulding and then finally the roof is attached.
  24. harlequin
    photo etched skylight. Made up of several bits of etched brass fitted to two bits of shaped plywood. First primed with a metal primer then yellow ochre for the frames.
  25. harlequin
    bit of grating and a capstan added to the main deck.

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.
