    Bulkheads back on. Much better

    Well... I was very nervous but it worked out pretty well. I was able to pull all three without any breakage. Here's a technique that I've used not too orthodox but it worked. Brian, thank you very much for the suggestion that soaking with water.

    Never used this. But I will definitely add to the shopping card. Does it work on any CA or just the CA for the same brand?
  4. captgino
    Thanks Brian! These are some great advises!!Thankfully, I did not use CA but Wood glue. That said, Titebond II is a pretty solid glue so ...I am hoping get the 3-4 bulkheads detached without any damages. I also reviewed your build on a computer this time and saw what you were referring to about fillers and rabbet. I will very likely rework some of that as well. Thank you so much for the great pictures. It is so difficult when doing your first true ship with bulkheads to understand these initial and critical steps based on the directions and the plans. I am so thankful for this site and its members' experience and kindness to get me some assistance.

    It looks like you are correct. I have a few of them higher than the other ones. It looks like I'm going to have to sand them down and add some fillers. How do I know which angle I need to try to reproduce on the bulkhead? Should I look at the figure on the sheet number 2?
  6. captgino
    Bulkheads on.

    Hi Brian, There is a few sections where my rabbet might be a little too deep. Overall, I think as you mentioned i should be able with fillers to get the planking in a nice and proper angle.

    Worked on the rabbet and bearding line

    I am done !! long hours involved , a lot of learning lesson, mistakes along the way but a lot of fun building with ship. It is a bittersweet feeling to be done. Below is their version versus my take on it. Ready for my next build

    Thanks Elijah! I am very excited to complete this built. I am getting eager to focus my attention on my AVS.

    Almost there!

    Last night, I was able to finish the jibs and achieve a good look with the furling. I am pretty pleased with it. A few more lines and it is a wrap. I could have added more details but with the lack of historical information and poor planning on my part it is too late. Again this a 'training' ship for me to test and learn about ship modelling.

    Beautiful work!

    small update. Worked on boon this evening. Great to work on her again.
  17. captgino
    Nicely done Ulises!! A nice steady pace . I am looking forward to your next post.
  18. captgino
    MAGNIFIQUE!!! Beautiful ship, you have done an amazing work on it. I love the authentic, worn look you gave her. Well Done Frank!

    Foresail furling and setup on the fore mast.
  20. captgino
    Wow! You did an amazing work on the standing rigging. I cannot wait to see the next 'chapter' with all the intricate running rigging.
  21. captgino
    Small update. I have been extremely busy at work. Hopefully, it is the weekend and I might some time to work in the shipyard.
  22. captgino
    Wow, awesome ship! Congratulations for completing this build, you have done a outstanding job!
  23. captgino
    Hi Joe, Thank you for the kind comments. I am happy to hear that the information I posted was useful to you. You are doing a fantastic job on your build. Looking forward to make postings! Meanwhile, I will continue furling away...
  24. captgino
    Yay!! Some cutting and building in progress Looking forward to your next post...
  25. captgino
    Thanks Elijah! There is no sail attached to the bottom spar in this type of ship. That been said, all other sails will be furled. I am unfortunately more and more unhappy about my ratlines.I used the rigging supplies from the kit and they are horrible. All the additional work on the sails is highlighting the mediocrity of the ratlines implementation. Taking them down and redo that would be a major project and I am not sure it is possible physically and mentally (sort of speak) JP

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.
