    This is what you need (aft edge of post should be a blue line!):

    Any remaining twist should correct itself once the building board and frames are put together with the bottom boards added.

    If you go to the Royal Museums Greenwich site, there are many open boat plans showing davits and windlasses. An example:

    Late to the party; the soldering should be on the straight part of the loop, not the end. Failure rate should be much lower.

    Looking very ship-shape, Chuck. Have a great weekend. Wish I was there!
  26. druxey
    Looking great. The flare at the bow is quite dramatic!

    Hahn was very clear that his models were stylized and did not reflect actual framing practice. Also, the plans you show are of completely different ships. The upper one is Beaver's Prize dated March 1778 and the lower one is Beaver of 1757 - a French privateer.

    Don't forget that paper itself can change dimensions with humidity levels, and not in the same proportions along x and y axes!

    Very nicely done, David. Congratulations!

    Wait a moment - I've got a match here somewhere....

    Just remember to anneal the copper frequently as you form it. It will work-harden and, if not re-annealed, will crack rather than bend.
  32. druxey
    Just amazingly neat splicing and plaiting!
  33. druxey
    Very neat work on the heels of the cant frames where they sit on the bearding line. Not an easy trick to accomplish with the compound bevels!
  34. druxey
    An excellent result, Eberhard! BTW, 'floaters' are possible at any age but, as you mention, they get ignored by the mind after a while. Annoying, but harmless.

    Welcome aboard, Mberg!

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.
