I agree. It is so much easier to work on a mast or yard when it is off the ship than on the ship. Mort

I too am considering the Diana as my next build and am also hoping for that Caldercraft 74 to be released. I am also considering purchasing the Amati 74 if all else fails as that looks like a nice kit. Mort

Hi Mobbsie, Are you familiar with the book by Anthony Deane "Nelson's Favourite" HMS Agamemnon at War 1781- 1809? It is a biography of the ship from her launching thru her sinking. It covers her life, various naval practices, Nelson, Lady Hamilton. It is an interesting read for anyone interested in the ship herself or the war against Napoleon. Mort

Hi Ray, Everything looks great. Shame to cover it up. Is there a way to leave some of it exposed by installing deck clamps and beams and partially planking the gangway and quarter deck above? Mort

I would rig the ship and add the anchors as late as possible. Your build looks great. Mort

Hi Christian, Love your build. The stern looks great as does the rest of the hull. Great idea to include the flag lockers. Have you thought about including swivel guns on the hull or the tops? Check pages 76-79 of "The Sailing Frigate" by Robert Gardener. There is a side view of the figureheads of 2 Artois Class frigates in the NMM one of which is believed to be the Diana. One figurehead looks partially painted - the top half of the Diana's - the other seems to be unpainted. All of the pictures are in color. Keep up the great work, Mort

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.
