Amazing Antony. All the joints look to be spot on which is no mean feat taking those curves into account, well done mate :)

Makes you wonder why they don't use a solid piece there instead of ply

Nice neat work as usual Robert and a good job putting the curve in the counter pattern. that piece is very fragile when it's wet :)

Hi Elijah try this stuff. It ships from Hong Kong but if you don't want to wait too long for it try your local car accessory dealer for 3mm pinstriping tape http://www.ebay.com/itm/3mm-1-8-PinStriping-Pin-Stripe-Tape-SINGLE-LINE-Decor-Decal-Vinyl-Sticker-BLACK-/172031745878?hash=item280de41f56:g:sZoAAOSwxN5WbVYT&vxp=mtr

The amount of work involved on a solid hull kit is a lot more involved than I thought. You have done a great job on it

This is one of the downsides of Internet or mail order buying. They have your money before you can check it out and if you decide to return it then you end up paying the cost of returning it. Kits were much better when you could walk into a local shop and look before you buy, unfortunately the local model shops are now few and far between

Always annoys me when manufacturers scrimp on parts . I would rather have to pay a bit extra for the kit and have a complete one, rather than having to order parts at additional cost and more postage. The cannons look good in place and when you make the adjustments they will look great :)

That makes it even more special because once finished there won't be another one like it :)

Nice lines on the hull Elijah I always thought if you bought a solid hull kit that the hull would be ready to build on, but not in this case it seems. Good job with all that sanding

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.
