Sorry for the late info. Yes i have moved forward with the build,first the frame #7 did not sit level compare to the mane frame,and also when i glue the frame 32 did not sit to is place as i glue it. So i had to correct the too mistake. Then page 8 of the build,the planking of the first floor request to start at frame 17 and finish at frame 21,but on picture show between 20 to 24,to correct this error i did plank a bit longer than the request and install temporary the next floor to find the exact position. I also start to plate the lower part of the stern forecastle,and plate the hull, and cut out the gun port doors. The problem with the gun port is to respect the distance given between each one (30mm) I will put some picture later.

Today i build or put in place the frame,not glue and tried to fit the floor,front part no problem, rear part yes first problem. I come to the conclusion that those parts are not the one for the boat.#38and #39 from 7A board.(as per instruction manual) First the parts are to long and the opening for the frame are .257in. when all the oder floor the opening are .328 average.

First picture. I build the keel the 3 parts together on a piece of wood to make sure the keel is straight. Good result. Then i build frame #7 making sure as the instruction manual for the 90D of all parts. Next step, 7 and 13 frame gets in but a little sending was necessary to fit,(but not glue up to now)

Welcome every body. Finally i am there. Tree build up to now,to build some experience and skill,for this project. I am glad to start the Santa Ana. I open the box this morning,to check all parts,fitting,wood,and instruction. I have to admit the instruction manuel is fantastic minimum tree picture per page,and plan are well done. The cut for parts is also good,i just hope the enthusiasm of first view will continue. So now first step after counting parts,is to number them and separate them from the form. I will come back with some picture later. P.S If i am doing something wrong feel free to help me. Thanks to all.

i am so glad,today a made the jump, i by this kit as the next build. My creole queen is moving forward and i was looking for my next build for the last few month, and now the kit is home with me. I was unable to resist to open the box. My first impression is,watt a kit,my last 3 kit were badly cut on the wood,this one the wood is very thick and just playing with the piece by pressure those one release from the wood. I will take time to check all parts and see if everything are included.

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.
