    If you sand & re paint..... the hull will look like the bottom is a fiberglass hull. Best way out is to mix up a black wash ( 2 tsp of india ink into 1 pt of 91% alcohol ) put the wash over all your bright colored paint'd area's using a brush...... you can re coat the wash after it drys if you prefer. The result will be a weathered hull witch will give a more real look to who ever views it.......... When you get to your sails soak them in tea and they will match up with the rest of the vessel.🙂

    I like your setting of the sails....... shows action taking place....... be nice if you could find some figurines that are pulling rope, that would put the icing on the cake.👍
  25. TOM G
    I know it's going to be a well detaild build......... I'm going to enjoy watching the progress.👍
  26. TOM G started following Mayflower by LCdr Dave - Billing Boats - 1:60 , Pelican 1943 by FriedClams - 1:48 - Eastern-Rig Dragger , Black Pearl by LFNokia - 1/48 - open hull and 1 other

    That's going to be a fantastic model when done, a sure one of a kind.👍
  28. TOM G
    It's looking good.👍
  29. TOM G
    Yes, it's worth your time to make it "ship shape".

    Some guy's dip the sails in tea. Once dried dip again to get darker. Brew up some and test it on simular material.

    You want to pay attention to the garboard plank........ check this out https://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf

    The plank flow's into the keel.... no wicked hook.

    Look at page 20, then read up on the garboard plank..... you have to make a new one. https://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf

    Your garboard plank is to far up the bow...... as you progress your plank's will end up with tooth pic ends. You have to correct the garboard, and start over.

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.
