    Progress on the Pennsylvania's bow. The figurehead and scroll work were carved months ago and were used in a display at a local museum. So, the most time consuming portion of this was already done. That is why this part seems to be going so quickly.

    Now that the balcony railing of the Pennsylvania is on I think I can call the stern done.

    One side of the bow on the Pennsylvania is done except for the decoration.
  14. threebs
    Starting work on the Bow now

    Thank you for the comment/compliment. I do not get many comments on my on-line forums like I do on my Facebook groups, so, again, thanks!!

    The stern and quarter galleries on the Pennsylvania are almost done. Only the balcony railing is left.
  17. threebs
    Carved the balcony supports and decorations between the lower stern windows. The piece on the hull with all the carvings on it for the other side will need to be redone. Somehow it got brushed off my work bench top onto the floor. No I did not steep on it. My grand daughter came into my shop to visit along with her new puppy. Need I say more?

    The translator works fine! If it will help, I have a scratch building you tube channel you can look at. @gregbaumgartner8257

    Doing a little work on Pennsylvania's quarter galleries.
  20. threebs
    The quarter gallery windows are all framed on the Pennsylvania
  21. threebs
    The hull of the Pennsylvania is finished with the copper sheathing.
  22. threebs
    One side of the Pennsylvania's hull is coppered. Just over 2150 pieces.
  23. threebs
    More work done. I do not remember the coppering being this boring.
  24. threebs
    Gun ports are mostly done. Some adjustments on a few still needed, brindle ports still need to go in and 2 spar deck ports at the bow.
  25. threebs
    Time to work on my least favorite part of the ship. The gun ports. I have most of them rough cut out. I will not do the spar deck gun ports until all the others are finished. Experience has taught me that if I cut them out the wales will break off constantly as I hold on to it to shape the lower deck ports. This is the Pennsylvania.

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.
