    lovely! you are a master. yes I will go back to your previous post on applying foil.
  2. the learner
    I Have looked at all your builds and your eye for detailing in each one is fantastic!

    WELL DONE! George, from the pictures one would not know its a plastic kit and great detailing beyond just gluing the parts together.

    shucks where has the rest gone?

    Your build is fantastic! great job no matter how long it took. On the white rigging and sails try using a strong mixture of tea placed in spray bottle and spray a fine mixture on the sails and rigging while wiping dry the exposed wood. the Tannen in the tea will darken the sails and rigging enough to allow a great build to shine. I have used tea in this manner to color/darken sails with no ill effect on the material.

    Doris, what a magnificent job on the cannon and carriage but you are missing a few photos between No 1 and No 2, Do you think you could show some of the processes of applying the wood foil on the carriage?

    John, just joining your build log and like, and your method of building frames is unique. There are a lot of ships through out history with the name " Meteor" how did you happen to decide to construct this particular model beyond your great great grand parents ? I will be viewing you progress for the rest of the build.
  11. the learner
    Wow is right! So much progress in a short time, I see the framing is looking great!
  12. the learner
    Still here and still planning on finishing up framing for this build. Glad to see we have had a few more join

    I like that you are breaking each rigging section down as you progress.

    Hello Cristikc, I have recently acquired a Mantua Sovereign of the Seas kit and will be following your build and saving some of your pictures and build tips as this will be a future build for me, I have several others in drydock that need to be finished first.. your build is going well and looks very good!

    I just spent an hour perusing your build of the 74 cannon ship, there is only one thing I can say about it, Wow!
  18. the learner
    Been awhile but your build is quite nice and progressing beautifully. Thanks for reposting the photos on the stern deadwood construction! This was the Alfred I was telling you about, even unfinished it is still a good looking build
  19. the learner
    still for sale?
  20. the learner
    Interesting build! I have the book on F.H. af Chapman's drawings (newer version) and think it if fascinating read. look forward to the rest of your build!
  21. the learner

  22. the learner
    Fantastic build, I love the Brodie stove!
  23. the learner
    Your mill work is fantastic, please provide as much of your process using this tool as possible, Thanks
  24. the learner
    Agreed Bluenose2! Yes you can recycle for other uses, gouges and knives are a good example and they hold a good edge when re-tempered and dipped in oil

    Marsalv, A project it is a big model! I have the book and the plans so I will be following along with much interest. You have made a good start!

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.
