    Finished the windlass and pawl bitts. Just gave everything a second layer of paint. Need some wheatering tho. They are dry fitted at the deck with some pins, but not yet fixt with glue. Don't know exactly, maybe for convenience to work on the deck.

    parts of the big windlass...and dryfitting everything on the deck
  8. Ronald-V
    completed...It needs some varnish tho
  9. Ronald-V
    the little rings need to be painted...so a drink cardboard is a excellent vise

    sanding it to the curve of the deck

    constructing the main hatch...first the frame. In the manual they say that you immediately glue the frame parts on the deck, but I preferred the to construct it of the ship and glueing it later on the deck.

    Grating hatches are done 👍 Now it's time for the main hatch. Looking for a way to wheater the hatches...so i'm going to experiment a bit with some paint.

    Thanks everyone!

    Good tools are half the job, and it works so much more relaxing with them. So it's recommendable!👍

    Safety first

    Then I cut the grating with a little saw. And sand them to a exact fit in the framework with a disk sander...

    Production process, cut the pieces of timber for the frame of the hatch and glueing them square with a geo triangle

    Thank you so much!

    Thanks guys! Next step is the hatches. First hatch installed. Needed to sand the deck a bit because not every deck plank laid flat against the other. I just need to varnish that again and then it is as new

    All carronades are rigged! Pfff that was a piece of work. I'm happy that it's done
  21. Ronald-V
    Thanks everyone for their compliments and likes! I'm appreciating it!

    First carronade rigged! Cost 10 years of my life😂, but I somehow managed it☺️ Best I could do for now, I think that every next one gets better, I have learnt a lot.
  23. Ronald-V
    Thank you so much! That's so nice to hear!
  24. Ronald-V
    Did a bit of wheatering on the carronades, but difficult to see on the picture

    Thanks Rob and Lazy Saint. The full tackle as in with model in the manual looks appealing to me so I try to go for that. But I find it very weird that they don't include how to lay a knot. Maybe they asume that you just use "house and garden" knots? (it's a dutch expression haha) But what would somebody do without the internet!

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.
