    The ratlines might be a little to loose on the first one. I will try to make them more tight on the next 3. Do you have a method to have them perfectly even? Do you glue each knot? Please let me know if you have a method...

    Caronade details added. I decided to enhance my built. The original plan were not very detailed or telling the way to rig the caronade. I tried to find information on the web, but nothing for my specific ship, so I looked for different ship from the same era for details.

    Not too happy with the vernis on the mast. I have to find a way to clean it up. Any suggestions?

    Worked on the mast this weekend. I decided to enhance the mast platform as the one provided in this kit is not very detailed and fragile.

    The cables are looking fuzzy. How does one make them smooth? Any recommendations?

    Worked on the bowsprit. Pretty happy with the result. I modified the attachment on the side of the hull. The plan just asked to use a nail and I did not like that. Again, I am using this first ship as a practicum and experimentation.

    Last night, I applied 2 coats of Min Wax Weathered Oak on the ship to give it some additional depth. I am happy with the overall 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.
