My next step is the fancy rail and cap. I have been looking at many of the previously built models of the Fair American and for each one, it seems that the cap rail is done a bit differently on them. Also, the finish used on this part is also as different as the number of them being built. I am not sure how I want to proceed with this section. Any ideas? Jeff

Here are 3 shots after installing the cap rail and my new cradle for building the ship. The plans showed the cap rail to be 1/16 x 3/16 which seemed very thin at first. But this is what I used on the bow part using a small sheet of 1/16 I had. From about frame 4 aft I used some 3/32 strip I had and then filled and finished by sanding some off to make the transition a bit less noticeable.

Welcome to the group. That is a lovely model in your picture. But, I think I enjoy the one's of your home area even more. It looks peaceful and tranquil. Jeff

Welcome Edd. This is a great site for resources and support. It looks like you have a wonderful model that needs some TLC. You will get help from the folks here. I hope it is alright to post another resource on here. Pete Coleman has a forum for Victory builds. http://pete-coleman.com/forum/ Jeff

Is this the Chris Watton designed Revenge? I have that one waiting in the shipyard. Jeff

In regards to the aft framing and transom, I will need to check mine before I get that far. It may allow me to adjust the width of the transom as you mentioned. Of course, mine was one of the last kits, so it may not be necessary at all. Your model is coming along wonderfully Dave. Jeff

how to work with teeny blocks???
jdbradford replied to achuck49's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Where did you end up getting this from? Jeff nvm, I see where you posted that you got it. thanks -
Hey Jerry, How goes your build. I have been working on the cannon and carriage parts. Trying to make the eyelets and rings for the carriage rigging look realistic. I saw a build for the AVS where the carriages are about the same. The rings seemed to big for the scale, but I am trying to find a way to make them the right size and black too. Jeff

Ship Drafting
jdbradford replied to mholmberg's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
I would like to learn how to convert ship plans to model plans. I have read a number of topics here and on other sites, but am not grasping the information. Do they make "Dummies creating model plans from ship plans"? LOL Jeff -
If the hole does not go all the way through the bulkhead, how does the water drain? Jeff

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.
