    I would agree with your assessment. Much easier to get a flush fit.

    Steve, I use a small USB fan for that purpose. The dust settles in a corner of my shop, and I vacuum it up. l was a little put off by the price of the MicroMark device, but really couldn’t comment from experience. Your information is very useful.

    Interestingly, Bill Edgin’s build, mentioned above, has the green wood chips, and it doesn’t look bad. However, there doesn’t appear to be much detail about his method.

    Good work on the edge bending. It looks like the planks are laying flat on the bulkheads. are you foregoing tapering the planks at the bow for a reason? It’s not so important with the first layer, but will make a big difference with the 2nd layer..

    Went through my stuff and found I had saved the page from the catalog, because it was high on my wish list. $339 would be about $700 today.. It was high on my wish list back then, but not in my budget.

    I will have to look at my ModelExpo catalog from the 90s.. I’m pretty sure the price was at least twice that.

    Except for someone left behind to guard the cargo?😁

    The Mamoli kit had little competition when it was released. Mamoli had a lot of the best kits available at the time . Check some of the drawings for a date. I would like to remember, because I had that kit back in the early 90's, but sold it because life got in the way. I believe the drawings are very good, but the kit itself may have it's detractors these days because kit quality in some areas has come a long way with laser cut parts and such. My recollection is that the Mamoli kits really have everything you need in the box to build it to match the drawings. That has been my experience with a few other Mamoli kits I have built. If I were going to go outside the box, I would consider a different coppering scheme than the little green wood chips they provide, other than that, I would be happy to build it as is. I look forward to following your progress.

    I have seen any number of species, that when sanded with 400 or finer, then buffed with felt, develop a shine not unlike gloss varnish.

    There’s a new meme going around; “If Chris thinks the instructions are good, they must be good.”..😁

    Unfortunately, that color chart on the box is as good as it gets. There is such a wide variation in wood color, a third party chart will not be any better. If you are trying to identify the wood within the box, the amounts provided my be your best help to match it to the box chart. In this case the lighter wood should definitely be the maple.

    A lot of builders put a layer of painters tape on stem etc.. It can save a lot of grief..

    That walnut appears to be a finer grain than what we usually see in the US. They look really good. The darker color adds character. I noticed that Chris at Vanguard Models recently said he would be using your blocks going forward. They add a lot to his kits.

    What’s great about MSW is we have a lot of logs and experienced builders here to help you with these ‘flawed’ kits.

    Allan may be surprised it shows doubles for 12 pounders and up.😁

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.
