    I keep having to remind myself this is a kit. Excellent bash. It really shows off the flexibility of builds which one can obtain.

    Ben, Mark, and Patrick sounds like a tavern is a great idea. Grant, HA! Cameras are everywhere Antony, Will be updating soon. Unfortunately I have hit a few massive overtime weeks here at work. Should be back soon. Thanks for stopping by.

    Glad its doing well. I always thought that a bit of blood was good for the project... Kinda like a christening. (and yes, Halifax has already been christened)

    Wonderful build. I will be referring to this when I spin up my Pinnace.

    Lotsa rain = lotsa time in the shipyard. I like it!!!

    Ben, thanks for stopping by. I am just south of the Dayton mall. I was wondering if there was any clubs or other people near by. I know of the one in Columbus. I think they are having a show/competition thing in a few months and was planning to get up there to take a look.

    This looks really great. At such a small scale too.

    Thanks! I think the starboard wale has a kinda sharp bend in it. It is not too noticeable and will be able to smoothed out a bit when planking.

    Thanks Dimitris.

    Thank you very much.

    The next step was a hard one. Adding the wales. I found out that I did not leave a large enough rabbit at the bow to put the end of the wale plank into. I had to carve out a small notch to be able to get the wale in place. With a bit of soaking in water and then steaming in my kettle I was able to form the bend of the wale. So I think I found the "wall side" and the "room side" of the model. Not a bad first attempt.

    I like the gun level views. Looks great. Lots of work to rig all those guns.

    Great to see the bulkheads in. Very nice and symmetrical. I wish I had taken the time to do this with my Constitution build.
  15. MEDDO
    Those pumps really look nice. Such a small scale is amazing.

    I am originally from Baltimore and every time I go back I always go downtown to visit this ship. Looking forward to your progress.

    I am amazed you did this in only 4 months. It looks wonderful. I always liked the way these ships looked. They just look fast....

    Thanks for stopping by. So far this has been a great fun build. I really wish I had picked up a Kingfisher kit when I had the chance. I may check into the LSS forums. This site has been so informative and positive I haven't needed to go anywhere else yet.

    Thanks I have learned so much even doing this "simple" kit version. Releasing from the jig is going to be a huge milestone. Getting the wales and some planking on there is going to strengthen the structure so much. I will also have enough space to fair the insides a bit. Thanks!

    Just a quick update. Onto Chapter 7: The wales, planking, and removing from the jig.

    I was able to shape and clean up the transoms some last night. I was also able to add the wing transoms. I started to shape the wings. I of course forgot my prior lesson and broke one off while shaping resulting in me having to replace it. Haha. Now I have spacers in there while shaping. Learning every day...
  22. MEDDO
    I have been learning this lesson almost daily with the Halifax.
  23. MEDDO
    I like the contrast of the different colours in the masting and rigging. Amazed that this is your first build.
  24. MEDDO
    Thanks Patrick. The instructions/plans were pretty good. Now I get to fair/shape the area.

    Roughing in the transom.

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.
