    Hello, today only a short sign of life. The carpenters finished the bulwark and the painter painted it. But the windows have to wait a while, because of my damaged index finger. It't not soo serious, but without a complete fingernail I could't grab these small parts.
  23. Siggi52
    Thank you Ian. Yes, there will be two cut outs.

    Hello, the carpenters finished the great cabin for the captain. It took some time, because the oil has to dry, some days of because of eastern and the good weather we had. But now it is raining again, so we are busy at the yard. Here the carpenters have the first bulwark allready finished in the raw.

    Hello, and many thanks for all the likes because the vegetation here is 4 weeks in advance of normal years, my garden now needed much of my time. But today it rained and so I'm back at the shipyard. The carpenters set in the deck beams and started with the paneling of the walls.

    Hello, and many thak for your likes we where busy here with the aft bulwark. That is the plan and here the (third!) raw bulwark Today we finished the outside of the bulwark When I saw this picture, I think there is some work left for tommorow. Some of the plinths have to go.

    Moin Matthias, that looks all pretty good. I know pictures of this model, but did't realised that it is such a short part of the ship. I will follow your build with great interest.

    Hello, during the week the carpenters have cut the beams and today they installed the clamps for the pop deck. You may see, that there is not much headroom even in the great cabin. From the floor to the upper side of the beams it is 6ft 8in! At the beginning of the deck, 6ft 6in. And the beams are 5in high.

    Hello, because the weather changed here dramatically, it has not rained now for 4 days and the sun is shining , I'm not so busy at the shipyard. Since November it is raining here with only some dry days between and may be 2 or 3 days with sunshine. Since Christmas it stormed every week, sometimes also twice a week and now for 14 days we had no storm. They said, this winter we had 22% more rain and it was 5°C warmer then the years before! But at the shipyard the carpenters where busy and finished the quick-work.

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.
