    Yes I did not start with the kit yet. I live in the Netherlands but purchased the kit at Cornwall Model Boats. If that is the case like you said then I will send an email to CMB for a replacement. Thanks for tuning in!

    Thanks Lazy Saint 🙂

    I've sent a mail to GMB when and if the stock was being refilled. This was more then a month ago I think. They said that the manufactorer did not have any stock anymore, so they didn't know when a new delivery was comming. GMB is great by the way...not meant as a diss The ships that you chose have also different scales, so that is maybe something that can help you with your descision

    The font is probably not accurate...but much better then the original letters that came with the box...don't really understand why Caldercraft supplied such letters as this:

    Finally named her...🙂 Used tape to measure the position. And found letters at Cornwall Model Ships at the right size and color. Afterward I applied a thin layer of varnish.

    It turned out really beautiful!

    It's a really nice build! I like the close-ups, your work is really precise Is the hull planking the same wood, but just with other finishes on it?

    Tnx Norway! And the others for the likes 😁

    Mounted some "stays"

    i'm curious to!

    Thank you Jonathan!

    The eyes of the deadeyes are indeed terrible😂 Same stuff in my kit...weird that they don't figure that out.
  13. Ronald-V
    Haha thanks 😂

    Third attempt😁 Quite happy with it! The trick with the CA glue worked fine. I did not weave it, because that is going to be to much out of scale.
  15. Ronald-V
    Thanks for al your help Dirk. How do you get that line so tight on the mouse? With my efforts it wants to slip off the mouse because the surface is so smooth. And do you just turn a single thread around? Or do you weave it also?
  16. Ronald-V
    Quite a reduction in size...now some thread around it and see how it's going to look
  17. Ronald-V
    Mooie bijboot! 😁👍
  18. Ronald-V
    That looks much better indeed. Your wicker-work (don't know if that's the right word) looks als much neater.
  19. Ronald-V
    Maybe you're right haha, how big would a mouse be at this scale?
  20. Ronald-V
    Finished the Fore stay...pictures are not that great because the light is weird now. But you get the idea 😁 The mouse looks a bit oversized...but I can live with that with this model. I did not serve the line. Because my knowledge about this is not sufficient at this stage. You can also see the gammoning.
  21. Ronald-V
    I thought so...it looked way better then the Caldercraft thread
  22. Ronald-V
    great job! Are you using the supplied thread?

    Trying to make a mouse that sits on the fore stay. Not perfect yet... but learning. It's okay for now. The hard piece on the inside is made of polymer clay, but I need to refine the technique on the homemade jig

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.
