I preferred the second option because I consider it the best although more complicated I have scanned the kit's decals sheet With Photoshop I increased the contrast and inverted the image Then I printed it on paper For the transfer I used the foto tranfert POTCH trasparent " Hobby Line" A generous layer of glue is spread on the surface and the design is then positioned. Then press to remove the spaces and let it dry After dried, the paper is wetted with a brush and removed and the drawing is transferred So you can use it as a base for painting.

HMS Alert 1777 1/48
iosto added images to a gallery album in Gallery of COMPLETED Scratch-built models
A model I built about thirty years ago. It has several errors but considering that there was no internet then and you could not find today's materials and the equipment I have today, in the end it is not too bad. -

Deck deck I used IROKO wood Very fibrous a little difficult to work with small thin pieces, but I wanted to have a color more like the real wood of the original bridge. To decrease the porosity I used a glue to transfer POTCH images. Applied then smoothed and re-applied, then I passed the wax. -

I made the structure in pear wood. I covered with some pear wood veneer. Then I covered with mahogany wood. Between one table and another I inserted some black cardboard. Then I'll proceed with the holes -

I've stocked up on lumber. Here in Italy you don't find much. In the past I bought from Crown Timberyard which has now closed or from Lumberyard. Browsing the net I found this site: https://www.rarewoodsusa.com/all-species/ -

The model will be covered and painted with antifouling as the photo of the " Mamma Rosa" , and will have mahogany sides. Through the hatch of the cabin it will be possible to see the interior. I would like to make a diorama with a shipyard and insert this model together with one under construction where you can see the frames on sight. -

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.
