    That will be quite the journey to complete this beast! Have fun! 👏🎉

    If you want to see how far you can take these kind of kits (and for some inspiration), you should take a look at Night Shift on Youtube. I'm not really interested in the subjects he paints mostly (tanks) but find his videos helpful and inspirational to watch.

    That's why I used some filler pieces of balsa. I also had trouble visualizing it properly. But by using fillers, you can sand it into the right shape more easily, and you can feel and see more clearly how the planking should flow. I also found Chuck's Winchelsea build log very helpful (and also the people who worked on it, such as glbarlow). They have some pretty good close-ups of their stern, which can give you a better idea of what it should look like.

    That bow area looks really nice, can't wait to see James put some colors on that! Also the rendering is really pretty 👏

    Great start with a beautiful kit, and indeed, the size difference compared to the Alert is enormous! I didn't expect that. Wish you all the best with this one!👌

    Good to see you back at the bench!👍

    Looking good KurtH! I'm also working on these now, i've decided to leave them naturel because of the unpainted hull that I have. But this black version looks really nice on your hull 👌

    Thank you! 🙏

    Thanks Julian!

    Thanks for the generous compliment B.E., and nice to hear it's the right color 😁. Your Sphinx is an inspiration for me so with some decisions I always look also how you did it, and noticed that you also chose black 👍

    Very well done! That's a lovely model you can be proud of!

    Thank you Mark for your kind words 🙏

    That's impressive craftmanship!

    Thanks Thukydides! Yes, sometimes a slight deviation in color compared to the original is not so bad, as long as it doesn't get out of hand Thanks everyone else for the likes! Really appreciate it! 🙏

    That looks really cool! Must be a lot of work 😮 Never seen it this way, curious how it works out for you

    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.

    Lovely!

    Good start with this nice little boat!

    Wonderful build! Congratulations, you did a very good job at it

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.
