    Small update: Not a big update, but it does feel like a big step/relief to have this finished.😆 I've had some stressful weeks, and fiddling with small brass pins and such felt almost impossible, haha. I took many breaks from working on the model, but now I've finally finished the rudder with all the straps, horseshoe plates, and fish plates. The pics below are self-explanatory. I also extended the straps on the hull to the back of the sternpost with a piece of black paper. So that it looks like the straps go around the sternpost again. I chose to keep the horseshoe and fish plates black instead of the recommended copper color in the manual. I think the copper looks great on a white hull, but I thought black would look better on a natural hull.

    Have fun with this one Kevin! Will be something else with all the quality kits you have build so far. The open hull structure will be interesting to construct

    It looks great Kevin!

    Weird thing is...it's not even visible most of the times ...but still it's a cool design thing!

    Love how the main gun deck runs all the way to the bow! That's a nice improvement in comparison with the previous kits.
  15. Ronald-V
    Looks amazing!
  16. Ronald-V
    Will be nice to see this one come alive!

    Great job! I'm having a lot of trouble getting the pins into the straps, getting a grip on the head of the pin and then getting it into the hole without using too much CA...really not fun

    That's pretty oldskool like that...so used to ply lasered patterns these days . You have some work to do

    Love how fast you can "produce" models with card looking forward to see this project come alive!

    It looks already quite good with the 3d printed QG! Curious how it would look with the boxwood one
  21. Ronald-V

    Such a beautiful piece Loracs!

    Yeah i'm not sure if I will use the depth numerals at the stern, it all seems to be getting in each other's way there. But I'm not quite sure yet.

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.
