HM Cutter Sherbourne - Caldercraft

Built out of the box, several years ago and cased during 2020.  
 

This kit was a joy to build.  Solid instructions.  Nice wood.

 

Hull airbrushed.  All remaining wood stained, with Natural color stain.

 

I built the case: Tiger Maple moulding and frame, with 3/32” SSB glass.

Thanks, this is one of my first projects, built several years ago.  Now see some things that could have been done differently; for example the deadeye lanyards could have been black thread.  

Finally cased her during 2020, along with the others.  Case design and fabrication was the last major step to understand in my shipbuilding process.

 

My approach to shipbuilding is that it’s more important to get through the project, to understand the steps, rather than agonize over perfection.  Perfection comes through building ships.  During early projects, much time was spent figuring out how to do each step.  Now less time is spent figuring it out, more time to drill into the details.  At least that’s idea. :)

I think you did just fine. Most people class lanyards as running rigging and leave them light coloured, as you did (and the people who maintain historic ships such as HMS Victory).

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.
