    That's exactly what i was thinking they were. And as there is only one per build then they should be placed where both gun crews can access them Thanks for your help, Appreciated

    Hi Bryan Spoke to a few friends and they say they have had stuff from Guinea Hobbies too with no communication from them, but the goods arrived. Maybe when they said anonymous they meant they did not have your email. Most problems is in the language difference i suppose. but as you registered on there i think your email would be part of the process Also check this http://review.easycounter.com/hobbiesguinea-scam-report

    Thanks to everyone for their likes, remarks and input so far, it's much appreciated Some more input needed here, I have made these two containers, (one for each build) and i am not sure what they are meant to represent as once again no mention of the name is made in the instructions My thoughts are they are fuse containers for the touch holes on the cannons. Also i think that what they are should determine where they are placed on the deck What do you guys think ?

    Thanks Steve I'm very familiar with Daniels log i followed it on other forums before i joined MSW I don't want to overload it with more stuff as there are still a lot of things to add, such as, cannon tools. cloth sacks, bowls. and hammocks

    Where possible i always blacken everything except the ships bell, as i think it looks more natural

    Sounds good, then you can turn it around when you want a different look

    The good thing is you're working with wood and you can clean up the bulkhead risers and add more wood to them. Just go slow and it will come good

    That looks like a really nice kit Bryan. It will be a shame if it's a no show, good luck. Keep us posted as i might get one myself if yours turns up

    Finished off the cartridge containers. Instructions say to glue the straps directly to the wood sides but i put a piece of brass wire in for the straps to fit to Painted up and straps fitted Randomly placed them about the deck

    Hi Doug Andrew is pretty helpful and will do his best to get the kit for you if it's not already in stock. If you get one i would thicken the gun carriages before assembly as they are on the thin side. I did this by lining the outside of the carriage sides with 0.5 mm x 3 mm strip wood. even though it's only half a mm each side it makes them much more sturdy and also makes them look like they are made from separate blocks of wood rather then ply. Don't forget you don't get cannon barrels with the kit, just the carriages

    If the planking is of an even colour, personally i would just give it few coats of wood dye, or stain. I don't like the water based ones for this as they are more like paint and hide the grain. But it is your choice to make at the end of the day, i'm sure whichever you choose you will make a good job of it

    Nice work on the anchors, and yes you are correct it is a capstan, basically an early winch
  21. cobra1951
    I totally agree EJ

    Thanks Don

    Thanks Paul Just finishing of the powder canisters i started the other day
  24. cobra1951
    Yes ply doesn't look to good but as it's the main frame i think strength was the main thing they were thinking of. Where the ply will be exposed i plan to put a piece of 0.5mm x 6 mm line over it and stain the same as the rest of the beam

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.
