    It's true Tony, I'm following Chuck's build as well and I would love to try and build the cutter but i'm a bit afraid of the measurements, for somebody who grew up in the metric system it's very hard to adapt to the imperial measurements. Great work Chuck I really like the build! Jantje

    Not much work done as I have to work 12 hrs shifts. I managed to paint the hull and got some of the deck bits ready. Jantje

    Thanks Omega. This is my first SIB that's why I choose the light bulb the “neck” is a bit wider than a bottle.

    When I was cleaning on my vessel I found an old big light bulb. As I love the ships in bottles I thought it would be nice to put a little ship in there. As the entrance is not that small as a bottle it is a nice exercise before I start with a real bottle. I made a little waterline hull from wood and made some bulwarks from a sea chart which is a nice and strong paper. I made a stand to hold the model and drilled holes for the gun ports. These are squared with a little key file. The bowsprit is made from sanded down tooth picks. I made the gunwales of a suture kit which contains very fine silk thread (you can still see the needle on the end of the thread). And I painted the lower part off the hull. Jantje

    Thanks all, My boatswain stored them like this. The hold is almost empty probably its the end of the trip. I'm going to coil some rope on the rack to fill it up a bit more. Jantje

    Hello all, Im building a cross section of HMS Victory.I put two barrels across on top of the ballast on PS and now I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb for the storage of barrels, longitudinal as on SB or across as on PS ? Kind regards, Jantje

    Hi Jeff, looks like a very nice kit. I have to keep this one in mind for the future. Currently we have a live size replica in port in Gibraltar http://www.schoonerpickle.com/ . Hope to see an update of this build soon. Greetings, Jantje

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.
