    The base plate that I used https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/Occre-Model-Boat-Fittings-19102-Display-Stand-130x265mm-OC19102.html#SID=1691 And the colums are from Amati indeed https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/5690-35-Turned-Brass-Column-35mm-A5690_35.html#SID=1579 I used two of the same dimensions, but filed one slot deeper so the ships keel lays in the correct angle. At first I thought it was a good idea to use 2 different dimensions, so one shorter colum...but that looked horrible haha, because the thickness is also reduced with the smaller height.

    Okay! So I finished the ship I didn't take pictures of the last stage. Was a bit busy and worked for very short bouts on the ship. The end was a bit difficult because I wanted to finish it, so there were sometimes moments that I rushed through the build. That needs some attention for the next time...that I take the time and patience to give everything the attention that is deserves, but that is just a part of the learning curve. I enjoyed this build a lot and learned a ton in the process. Offcourse skills wise with the wood etc, but even more mentally. For me it was difficult to actually finish something that takes this amount of time, so i'm very proud of that. And i'm very proud of the end result! I builded it right out of the box with almost no modifications. The most important thing for me was to actually finish it! And in the future there will be more modification/adventure

    As I see it...the laser engraved deck is a good template for planking the deck myself with prefered wood. But it's al just a matter of taste in my opinion.

    Great job on everything...i'm going a bit slow now...so you are almost as far as me
  10. Ronald-V
    Very nice result!

    Good job Norway. It was something I didn't look forward also, but you get in some sort of rythm in the end...and just take your time. Only work on it when you want.
  12. Ronald-V
    Amazing job!
  13. Ronald-V
    That's amazing! Keep us posted on the progress and maybe when it goes to sale

    Nothing to do with ship building, but fun to post...I also like to draw as a hobby, so this is a project i'm working on now.
  15. Ronald-V
    Beautiful indeed! I asume this is kit modified? Or is this kit so detailed?
  16. Ronald-V
    You did a wonderful job with the rigging!

    What a nice light color has this walnut. I will check mine if it's also that light. First I thought I would replace it with pear. But now i'm doubting if i look at your great result 😁
  18. Ronald-V
    Nice build so far! What kind of wood did you use? And no coppering?
  19. Ronald-V
    Oh that's great, because the Pegasus is my next project. It would be nice to see more build logs of this ship.
  20. Ronald-V
    Much succes with the build! It's a very nice model!

    I did not serve rope. Only a small part around the mouse. It's not authentic, but I did not have enough knowledge to do it correct like in real practice. But I have learned a lot from other logs and have an idea now what needs to be served. With the next ship I will go further with perfecting the rigging and serve the line. And I would buy a serving machine, like Chuck Passaro's one. That looks much easier and more enjoyable.
  22. Ronald-V
    Thank you! That's nice to hear
  23. Ronald-V
    That would be a great idea!
  24. Ronald-V
    You are going fast now! Looks wonderful Do you find it difficult to finish it with the Pegasus waiting on the shelf? I must keep myself on track with the Pickle and not just quick want to finish 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. 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.
