    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.

    painting the little Galley flue
  12. Ronald-V
    parts of the big windlass...and dryfitting everything on the deck
  13. Ronald-V
    completed...It needs some varnish tho
  14. Ronald-V
    the little rings need to be painted...so a drink cardboard is a excellent vise
  15. Ronald-V
    sanding it to the curve of the deck
  16. Ronald-V
    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
  21. Ronald-V
    Then I cut the grating with a little saw. And sand them to a exact fit in the framework with a disk sander...
  22. Ronald-V
    Production process, cut the pieces of timber for the frame of the hatch and glueing them square with a geo triangle
  23. Ronald-V
    Thank you so much!
  24. Ronald-V
    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
  25. Ronald-V
    All carronades are rigged! Pfff that was a piece of work. I'm happy that it's done

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.
