Spent a little time today adding a few more details.  

I started by adding cable to the starboard winch and threading it through the lift assembly.  I have to decide whether or not to hang something from the cable such as a bathysphere or shark cage,

or just tie it off.

I saw on another Calypso build video where somebody added zincs to the steel bow addition to prevent electrolysis.  I had some small aluminum wire

which I hammered flat and cut into small pieces.

Started the painting process on the life rings. Thanks to Mark for the good photo of Calypso's life rings. I decided to use that color scheme.

Glued up the radar reflectors.  Will add rings and lines.

 

Happy New Year to everybody.

I have really enjoyed your support, inspiration and comments over the past year.

Patrick

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.
