    its been a busy holiday season for sure, and now im hoping to hope back into the build, im stilling wondering how is the best way to drill the mast holes.
  2. lionfish
    well if i didnt already know it was a model, id say these pictures of a ship yard. along for the ride

    that ram is a work of art, the whole thing is amazing, cant wait to see her sail. maybe set up a mock hull to have fun ramming?
  4. lionfish
    awesome job, very clean, and just a great ship to look at

    rear wale pinned for gluing gunwales glued in place one issue i will have to deal with is the rear wale is a bit too wide, im going to have to slim it down to have the rails fit properly
  6. lionfish
    quick update, i was able to get the gunwales glued on, also was able to mark the water line. a task made harder by the fact the solid hull and plans differ. ill get some pictures up when i can and see what you all think. im thinking of maybe planing the upper hull and wales. we will see.

    man this gives me high hopes for my models some day,
  8. lionfish
    this is awesome, i remember seeing the turtle on a show i think was on the history channel.

    so the tail end we see seized to the shroud, comes from the opposite shroud?
  10. lionfish
    so if i understand you correctly the odd shroud on both the starboard and port sides are connected in a similar way the regular shroud pairs are? and the tackle pendant is essentally a loop in the shroud that a block on the rest of the shroud loops through?
  11. lionfish
    thanks this helps a lot.
  12. lionfish
    the splice is just like the loop made by the shroud pair?
  13. lionfish
    how do i measure shroud pairs? also how does the odd shroud get attached to the mast?
  14. lionfish
    my plan was to get the self adhesive copper sheeting they use in stained glass works.
  15. lionfish
    what should i use to seal a solid hull so i can attach copper sheathing?
  16. lionfish
    just absolutely beautiful Dave, when i built this ship i will spend even more time than i already do on this build log.
  17. lionfish
    new gunwales soaking in hot water clamped to the sides to dry new bow stem rough cut with coping saw bow stem little cleaner
  18. lionfish
    it seams some of the edges lifted up a little bit, not a huge deal, because i plan on gluing some wood in the grove all the way around
  19. lionfish
    Pins in place, no glue Close up of the pin Glue slapped on All clamped

    Finally got some work done, I glued the deck to hull but there is going to be sections I will need sand down. I used pins to help align the center line and mast pilot holes. I will upload pictures when I get onto my computer because I can't get the image imbedment from photobuckets mobile app
  21. lionfish
    thanks for the very detailed description of what to do, really a great help.
  22. lionfish
    has anyone here come up with a way to drill mast holes without a drill press or mill?
  23. lionfish
    stunning work, you must post a picture of the finished ship with the doctor. very much enjoying this build log
  24. lionfish
    The plans show them more or less straight up perpendicular to the water line. It's also a solid hull so anything is possible
  25. lionfish
    were the masts perpendicular to the deck or water line? specifically on the HMS bounty or similar vessel

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.
