    You explain things well @Waldemar. I'm enjoying this well written -rather academic - thread. My brain is so engaged and ready for the next entry.

    Very nice. Shows off your clean planking work.

    Ah the Revenge. She's a great ship. Amati makes one of the nicer kits out there. I built Occre's Revenge. I modified it a lot. The kit is ok, just ok.

    I must admist that the white dots gave me A LOT of trouble. They were hard to paint and outline, so I cheated on those. I painted the heads of nails. It was a clean solution. That red/yellow combo kills me though. Reminds me of ketchup and mustard and a worldwide fast food chain that used to have red roof on the building with a giant yellow (golden) "m" (arches) on top. 🙃 I'm sure the original ship had little to no blue and white, but I'm giving a nod to the Portuguese who built her.

    Well it's been a bit, but I've made some progress. Working towards the railings so I can get to transom galley and beak.
  31. MikkiC
    Well donne Mate! You did a great job, and I enjoyed following this. So....what's next?
  32. MikkiC
    Wow. That's pretty kool. And now I know what Australians call a chop saw/miter saw: drop saw. Drop saw is more fitting for sure.
  33. MikkiC
    She looks awesome. Great, clean work

    Welcome from Pennsylvania! I'll be in TN in September.
  35. MikkiC
    Thank you...all. I can always change the ones that are flush. I've seen the flush ones in many logs and plans. Wasn't quite sure what to do.
  36. MikkiC
    So I think these are called "standards," but I could be wrong. Please correct me if I am. I need to rename them "the bane of my day." I struggled with these. I also didn't glue them where the paint is in case I have to tear them out (which I really can't see me doing.) In the past, I've cut out the wale and placed them that way. Why I decided to try this method I do not know. Does anyone know why some are higher than the wales and others are flush? Just curious. I've seen it that way on many models.

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.
