    Lovely work and dito pictures! Some with the light from above make me feel like being on a frigate in the West-Indies in the 18th century... Frank.

    Beautiful work Ronald! Your pear planking is not only near perfect, but also very warm and beautiful to the eye! I'm curious if you're going to paint the freezes or use the etched metal? I'm thinking of painting my freezes on Winchelsea too, but haven't got the nerves to do so till now... Ofcourse I could use the printed papers as a template and glue them on later when they're allright, but then I'll have two layers of paper, or I will have to remove the existing freezes. You could paint the freeze white over blue, spray or paint the bleu again using the etched metal as a template and then fill in the left behind white 'negative' forms with darkened (with brown?) yellow ochre, yellow ochre and lightened yellow ochre (with white?)? Frank.

    Thanks Steve, yes that’s exactly my intention! Frank.
  29. FrankWouts
    Thank you all for the kind words, these are really appreciated and inspiring! I’ve been busy making my stand fit to the hull and put some WOP on it. The lowest edge had some ugly spots so I decided to paint it very dark brown, almost black to cover that up. With a last layer of WOP this will look very natural I hope. Also I finally put the glass behind the windows on the sides of the quarter galleries. The rudder section is not yet finished as you can see ofcourse. Frank.

    Finally some quality time for the rudder. I started little too conservative with the rudder hole… Tomorrow the hinges to the ship. Frank.

    Thanks Edward! Frank.

    Can it still be bought without the complete wood package, as earlier provided as by hobbymil.eu also? That would make a big difference in custom duties. I see they offer it still on their website: https://www.hobbymill.eu/products/wood-packages/cutter-cheerful-1806 Thanks, Frank.

    Hi Chuck, I read on the Syren website, Cheerful is no longer in production. Chris Watton of Vanguard Models will do the production, soon? But do we still have to order the Cheerful mini kits from you in the USA and the main part of the kit from the Chris in the UK? Would that mean paying shipping costs and tariffs twice for us overhere? Frank.
  35. FrankWouts
    Yaw dropping and simply very, very beautiful project... I'm in for building one after Winnie as well... Frank.
  36. FrankWouts
    Very good fix at the stern, but maybe is your frieze print not to small now? Luckily you can enlarge it a little on your computer later. A lot of work taping the run of the planking, but it pays of a lot, so that's time very well spent. Take your time, enjoy it and flip it over to check it with your carpenter's eye (left or right 😉) the run of your tape lines! You're definitely on the right track to build an awesome Winnie! Frank.

    Hi Greg, Looking sharp and beautiful! I just added small drops of white and yellow to the blue paint until the blue/green teint matched my prints of the friezes and the side quarter galleries. The teint of the color on the prints on the sides of the quarter galleries have a little more green in it than those on the back, at least in my case, that is, on my paper with my printer ink... Depending on the yellowness of your papertype, ink, etcetera, it will be 1 on 1000 gamble if you find a paint that matches exactly straight form the bottle. Good to see you're concerned about matching colors and teints too, as they make or break the look of a model I think. Frank.

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.
