    Thanks Chuck. It actually turned out better then I expected. I used high heat paint for bbq's! Lol! I actually enjoyed building the gun stuff. Yeah the rigging should be interesting!

    Opinions on applying a clear satin finish to painted cannons? I have not done it, just would like some advise/input. Thanks!
  9. bebopsteve
    Hi Cuck...Heres a question, is it advisable to use a clear coat (satin) on the cannons? or leave alone? Not glossy, just a light coat to protect finish? Thanks! Steve

    Hey Chuck, The eyebolts should be black correct?
  21. bebopsteve
    Fills and grooves! Elvin Jones and Billy Higgins! Actually all I had to do was file the 2 small protusions. The dremel did that quick!

    Hey Chuck, some of those pics were pre-grommet. Here's one with it. It was funny, I opened a tool box organizer that I keep drum parts in, and 4 of these grommets were sitting right there. I don't even know where or what they were from..

    Chests installed..

    Happy New Year! It has been a while, so here are a few pics of progress. I did not like the brass rings for the hawse hole flanges, so rummaging through my drum parts box I found some small grommets that almost fit exact.. I like the look better. I also stained the knees for contrast.

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.
