    Thank you. Yes, I used an airbrush. Tough though to get a clean edge on wood. I had a few problems (paint bleeding) and had to fix with a paint brush here and there.
  2. captgino
    Painting preparation She decided to go with blue. So here we are... Black rail.
  3. captgino
    Yes. The deck is going to need some work. I think I found your build on Blogger. If it is you., you did a great job.
  4. captgino
    White primer. A few issues became visible
  5. captgino
    Some more painting... I did not glue the fish rack yet. It will be easier to work on the mast and rigging later.

    Worked on cutting out the scupper. Attached the Wales and side reinforcement.

    Hello everyone, I was asked to finish this ship on behalf of a fellow shipbuilder who past a few years ago by his daughter. The Hull was completed with a few mistakes here and there. Some repairs were needed to get it as smooth as possible. The deck furnitures were also completed for the most part. They do need some love and attention. Here is a picture of the ship now. Started to work on the rails and discovered a few problems. Repaired Here is the result after the rails have been installed

    Quick update. The holiday season brings a lot of projects around the house. Therefore, my progress are limited. Nothing is glued or painted yet.
  9. captgino
    Small update. Worked on the tiller. It still needs to be painted. I also have added a few attachments.

    Great work. I am loving the aged look you achieve on her. 😊
  11. captgino
    Reworked the white a bit. Painted the deck furnitures. I did not glue them yet.
  12. captgino
    🎨 done?
  13. captgino
    Very nice work 😊
  14. captgino
    Primed her with a coat of vallejo white primer. I will let it cure for 12 hours before starting the next stage of painting. 😊

    Magnifique !! She is a beauty!

    Installed the chain plates. These pictures are pre-sanding and cleaning up.
  17. captgino
    Here is my first attempt to the extra piece of the anchor system. Thoughts? Deck furniture completed. They are ready to be primed and painted

    Beautiful work on the sails. Terrific pictures. Going in my 'tutorial section'
  19. captgino
    Anchor system in. I still have to do some additional sanding to ensure a smoother transition. The plan from the Association des Amis du musée de la marine (AAMM) also has an additional part that I need to build and fit.
  20. captgino
    I continued working on the bow and added the breakwaters. Drilled the hole for the water evacuation. Prepare the template for the anchor system to be set.
  21. captgino
    Small update. I did all the internal supports and attachments.
  22. captgino
    Continued to work on the stern. At this point, I am not longer using the plan from AL and switch to the plans from the Association des Amis du musée de la marine. Much better and accurate. Starting to do some testing with the pedestals. Added some timberheads Realized in the morning that they were too high. Cut and fixed that...

    Completed the deck conditioning and treenailing. There is some damage to the deck due to the fun i had with the drill bit the other night I think it will be ok as I continue to add more details on the top of it. Worked on the rudder. Pretty easy to complete since the kit provides you everything.
  24. captgino
    thank you. there was a bit of nervous during the fix rollout.
  25. captgino
    Working on the rudder and the dumb accident... The drill bit took the wrong angle and ripped through the deck. 😠😠😠 Removed some decking plank. Patched the hole and replank.🤔 Repairing is always fun 😅. Here is the result.

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.
