    I sympathise as i have done the same thing countless times

    That entry port looks amazing, nice job. I think it fits well with the rest of the ships design and deserves to be there even if it was or was not on the original ship :)

    Looks great Mr Pucko The eyes on your knight and lion look a lot more realistic now too

    Looks great Don, those little details really ad to the build

    Nice as usual Frank You're building it faster than i can read about it
  6. cobra1951
    Nice looking kit, with an interesting and nice shape to it

    Make stealers with wet wood and use lots of small passes with the blade not one big cut. The wet wood will help prevent the blade from trying to follow the grain

    Make your own sanding sticks, for small ones take some 2mm x 2mm wood strips glue a few together then use double sided tape to fix sandpaper to them. You can make all sizes and shapes to suit your job

    Well now you have regained the inclination to build don't lose it again anytime soon :)

    White was a good choice Frank, blends in nicely with the choice of wood colours Now slow down you're making me dizzy :D
  12. cobra1951
    Wow you are going fast Frank and still doing a great job
  13. cobra1951
    Nice job, looks like a fun little build
  14. cobra1951
    Nice job on the shrouds Frank Looking forward to seeing how the bow area embellishments turn out Yes wood is so much better to work with than plastic especially if adding things that are not on the original kit

    Great job EJ. Must be tiresome making them especially at that scale

    A great job you have done Frank. Nice to see you continuing this log :)

    Coming together nicely, now you can see it's a ship

    Nice work on the stern decoration I think it's a Seahorse

  21. cobra1951
    Always nice to reach a target
  22. cobra1951
    Very nice

    Well they will have to be something really special. Just had another look at the contents of mine and as you pointed out there are not enough cannon balls supplied, mine are the same but mine look like they have been fired once or twice already

    I agree Bryan. The kit looks great but let down by shoddy materials and useless manual. It's not even that the instructions have been made useless in the translation of them, because it's just pictures and numbers mostly and bad measurements and in some case no measurements. Having gone through the manual and parts on mine i honestly cannot get the urge to build it yet.

    Excellent little build, well done

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.
