Hi Joe, It's exactly as Glenn says, nomodel is perect, no part you make is perfect, but when good enough put it on and carry on. In the end you'll have a fantastic model to stare at and enjoy with a noce whisky or thea! But ofcourse, it's your model, do as you please, either way I'll be interested to follow! Frank.

Congratulations on finishing your superb model of HMS Winchelsea 1764 Glenn! Your build log was and still is an inspiration and a true benchmark for me. I don’t have as much time and your experience clearly not only shows in your building skills, but also in your fast work pace… Once again congratulations and I’ll be following your next project with great interest as well! Cheers, Frank.

Congratulations Ben, A big achievement and she’s a real beauty! I love the case as well. Minimalistic is my approach to that as well, not drawing attention away from the model! Five years, I think that will be about the time needed for me as well. Cheers, Frank.

Good morning all, Not a build update yet in the holiday period unfortunately. Family obligations… But I think quite as nice an update though from a trip to the south of England of me and my wife. We visited Rye, Falmouth, Bath, Canterbury, among others these holidays… And ofcourse, on our way from Rye to Falmouth, we hád to stop in the very nice quiet village: Winchelsea! Do you recognize the Viking / Norseman Ship in the municipal sign from our HMS Winchelsea stern ornament? Cheers, Frank.

Hi all, I’m on my way in chapter 4, and I have a question. I have a rather larger opening in front of the false deck. Should that be filled to be even with the false deck to support the rounded margin deck plank that will be glued over it? Or is that plank wide enough and doesn’t it matter? Also I doubt painting the grating supports black. They look beautiful the way they are with a little WOP…? Thanks! Frank.

Beautiful and inspiring work almost comes to an end JJ…. I wonder if you could explain and visualize two things: 1. The connection of your 9-12 Volt connector to your model stand and how you wired the male/ female plug inside the winnie (did you drill the wiring all the way vertical through the keel AND the multiply?) 2. A small tutorial on how to produce those lovely lanterns hanging all over? The rest of the wiring is clear in your pictures I think. Thanks, 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.
