Just a touch early for a sharpie, which it otherwise resembles considerably.

Robert I hope you are still reading your notifications. If so, I have a question for you. Various times in the early part of your build you mention staining pieces different colors with OcCre stain. Did you do this from personal taste or did your instructions direct you too? Reading through my instructions I have yet to read an a direction to add color to a piece. I am just now at the point of adding the planked decks.

Ok well I finally got some time to giv'er lol .It has been quite the experience before Christmas the family was all sick but we are all better now. Then the rodents moved in turn the place up side down lol. So I decided to finish making the shrouds and deadeyes. Slow process, but at least some movement. I am so happy . I used a line to help line things up and soon had the plates and one shroud on the ship. I made the other shrouds and moved the string . I am still having the time of my life. Trying to learn how to build ships right is so much fun I can't believe I never got started before I did. Thanks so much for all the help . Don't mean to be a pest lol but I still have so much to learn and so little time giv'er I am up to 70 know lol. Just an old man having fun being 14 lol. Don't mean to butt in on others logs but some of them are so fantastic I just blurt right in. Ok Hopefully can get some more shrouds done and then and then yes rat lines. Let the song begin.lol I am liking this model once again lol Bob M.

Another area of note: the hull was not designed in the late-1800's style, with the straight-vertical bow and the sloping stern. The design for the hull was based largely off ship's boats from the late 18th/early 19th centuries, and pilot cutters of the era used that same hull shape. However, as a later pilot cutter, this design will include more iron strapping and a deck plan more suited to late-19th century cutters.

This is the oyster smack Lizzie Annie, a boat of a similar size to the Devin Collins. This showcases an alternative rig for the vessel, as well as some of the core rigging principles that will be employed. Note the fact that the bowsprit makes up about a third of the total length of the ship, as well as the lack of a topsail. The Devin Collins, as a pilot cutter, will need the topsail as well as the flying jib. Pilot cutters raced for the privilege of offering their services to large ships in the Bristol Channel, necessitating the obscenely large sail area.

There are, unfortunately, very little depictions of ships with this kind of rig from 18th or early 19th century. This is dated 1843 and it's the earliest I could find, with earlier images being closer to this: Continuous triangular sails are extremely rare. I don't say it's impossible, but very curious nevertheless. Also note the height of the masts and the sails on the original image.

Hi everyone. After a rather long period of reading, I decided to sign up and introduce myself. My name is Mimmo, I'm 60 years old, I'm a retired Italian Navy veteran. I've sailed a lot in my life; now, that I don't anymore, I sail with my imagination and models. I find the diversity of people on this forum absolutely wonderful: a huge worldwide community. A big greeting to everyone and, as they say where I come from: "buon vento!".

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.
