    A bit earlier time frame but the book The Sloop of War by Ian McLaughlin has lots of great info.

    Thanks Jon. There are a bunch of great logs here. Lots of learning going on. I also like the smaller ships as well and would like to see your work when you start it.

    Please start a build log when you are ready. Ask lots of questions. And have a great time.

    Christmas dreams really come true. Been waiting since the conference.

    Looking forward to trying this out.

    Welcome and please start a build log and as always ask lot of questions.

    I squared off the broken tips and added a small filler piece. You can still see the joints but it is very smooth to the touch. With a few test fittings, the planks seem to run very nicely.

    Thanks Cliff. Cherry seems nice as that is what my Halifax was made out of not sure about maple though. This bass wood is really soft and it seems to fall apart with almost no rhyme or reason. I have some pear and it really seems nice.

    When I was building my Kayak I occasionally had issues with the epoxy being too firm so we just got into the habit of placing the containers into a pan of hot water. That made the stuff flow really nicely.

    These really are amazing!

    The one on the left is just about the right size (maybe just a touch short). The other non-faired side is about the same hight.

    We will see about the kit provided wood. I do have a nice pear replacement package for the Longboat but wanted to try to see what I could do "out of the box" on this one. Hopefully skilling up a bit before I move on to that one.

    Very light touch indeed. I wasn't even going across the frames but along them. This wood is crazy soft. I looked for the piece but I think I will have to just remake the tip from the scrap.

    Thanks Mark. It was a pretty nice kit.

    Well I guess I am not as gentle as I thought I was. I knocked the tip off of one of the frames while I was fairing it. I was wondering if I should try to shape a small (very small) replacement or will it be fine after planking?

    It looks like we may have a white Christmas after all.

    The well is a very interesting project by itself it will be nice to see it.
  20. MEDDO
    This is really looking nice and I can’t wait for the next update.
  21. MEDDO
    Looks like those parts are super nice and fit really well together. Now comes the fairing with the char...
  22. MEDDO
    With all the angles and curves the stairs must have been very difficult. The end result looks great.
  23. MEDDO
    Wonderful.
  24. MEDDO
    Yes a very gentle caress is needed for sure.

    This thing is so flimsy without the reinforcements. It feels much sturdier now and when I start fairing the frames I am going to feel much better having these things in place.

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.
