    Those are straight from the kit I will keep things pretty standard from the kit with this build. First goal is to finish a ship😂

    Thanks for your kind words! And have fun with your first build. Just take it slow 😉. And maybe start a build log so we can follow your progress to👍

    Ah tnx! I think I'm going for the dry dock look.
  6. Ronald-V
    so they would be blackish green due to the oxidation in the water?

    Tnx Peter! I saw it in your build that you painted the hinges copper. I considered it, but I still doubting if I'm painting it copper. Because the actual copper is aging with time. So there is going to be a colouring difference. I think I'm deciding it at the end of the build. Then I can mix maybe the colour right to match the coppering. Thanks for the compliments and tips!

    The rudder is fixt! The coppering is a bit shiny😁. But that gets old soon. You can also see one of the scuppers that I added.

    Yes it looks pretty strong also...thanks to Caldercraft... they did a very good job with the instructions with this model. Everything seems clear and solid.

    dryfitting the channels

    Well done sir, so far....looks like a difficult scale to build on! But easier to display somewhere

    Something weird in the manual. The hawse holes need to be on different places. As you can see also on the photo's. But if you read the instructions... they have to be drilled on the same height...9mm under the capping rails. But if you look at the pictures...the one on port side looks higher then the one starboard.

    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.

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.
