Hello Matt, I'm sorry, but I've only just come across your build, but I think it looks fantastic, so far. This was my first build, a few years ago. Mine was quite the bash, though. I don't know if you've solved these problems, but here are some thoughts to mull over. On your stern post, if you haven't planked finish the other side, yet, you might try removing it and installing one that brings out your rudder to the right place. Learning to "unbuild" is a natural byproduct to building, I think. It takes a while to think five steps ahead. On the second planking, con

Cmann, the "standing" lines, the ones which would be a darker color on your model, are the two fore mast stays (the jib runs up one), the main mast stay, which connects to the foremast, parallel to the deck, the two braces which end in a block on both gaffs, and the six shrouds ending in dead eyes on each mast. Oh, and the one below your bow spirit. I believe the rest of the lines are running lines, lighter colored. It is a good idea to stretch the lines, for a while, before you install them, particularly your standing lines, as they may sag a little, later. I see by your drawing that you

Your look is kind of clean and bright, so aging the sails might contrast, a little, but maybe you want that. You could always try some tests on a similar fabric, from the rag bin to see if it suits you. Also, once stained, if you don't like them, you can soak them in a, oh, 10% or less bleach to water solution and they will go back to normal without the bleachy color. I've been tinkering with this kit for quite some time, but made all but the hull planking, gun, and anchors from scrap. Mine looks more like a used ship than clean model. I colored the sails a couple of times, thought about r

This is kind of like picking my favorite Thursday, or head of lettuce, actually. But I'll give a shout out to the "Piney Creek Weasels" in hopes it inspires someone.

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.
