Why not really commit Chuck? Our Speedwell was based in part on the Royal Caroline design. I'm sure your daughter would apperciate these furnishings.

Don't forget guys, you can always rig Speedwell as well. Full rigging instructions are included in volume 2 of the Speedwell book.

Nice job on the cupola Chuck. I like the dulled copper version and it suits your approach well (making a model of the NMM model).

Speedwell was designed for shore patrol so overnight accomodations were not usually a worry. Your "great cabin" would have been occupied by a Lieutenant (she didn't rate a Captain) and I'll be he would have been thrilled with your ecoutriments.

I have dozens of Speedwell NMM photos but curiously, not one of this area. I'm posting a photo of my completed Q'deck so people can see what you're shooting for. It's not as elegant as yours but should give people an idea of how it all comes together.

Very well thought out Chuck. This a very distinct feature on the model and you are off to a great start. Maybe show a photo of the contemporary model so folks can see what you're after?

Doing as much rigging off the model as possible is a great way to proceed Tim.

That is a beautiful windlass! For those unfamiliar with drilling holes through round stock (especially metal) it helps to mill or file a small flat across the top of the round before drilling. This prevents drill creep. As well, if you can find a small enough center drill to start the hole that is ideal. They come as small as 000 (0.020") for example - https://www.msdiscounttool.com/catalog/product_info.php?csv=gg&products_id=79381&msclkid=3ac069efe4721a7a936a0c285f7a13fd&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP Shop - Drills %26 Screwdrivers (1) - %240-9.99&utm_term=4587780989952351&utm_content=79381 | 000 HSS Combined Drill %26 Countersink (Aircraft) | %242.64

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.
