Hi Terry, I would also say, use some thin strip glued on the bulkheads to fill up, and then sand for a smooth fairing. And mayby, use some balsa filler blocks for a larger glue surface and more smooth fairing. The total thickness at the gunports is ca 3,5mm ( first, second, and bulwark inner planking) Ron

Another note, the instructions say nothing in detail about the gunports and water spilling holes on the deck. Maybe an idea to place some material on those places, sand them flush, and then do the inner planking. Otherwise, you end up with a hollow space at those places, the metal gunport frames do not cover those openings competely. Ron

Hello Doug, Thanks for your reaction. About the windows at the stern, i will see what I do The sloops i was referring too, i wrote it wrong, must be resin (the material), i have seen these somewhere on the net, they are very good detailed and accurate mini models. For now, i go along making a carefull start whit my Supply. When i need help, i sure will not hesitate to ask. Regards, Ron

Hello Doug, I just bought theCaldercraft Supply also, but in my box I see no resign sloops, and the drawings mention nothing about windows in the stern. Did you "super" detailed them, or can it be that you have a different version?

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.
