    Hello Jeff, Congratulations for your choice! I also built the Confederacy and stained/painted the complete model except the decks which were only sanded. Greetings Werner

    Hi, it would have been easier to taper the upper fore edge of the stem lying flat on the table - before glueing - to fit the figurehead..... Greetings Werner

    Hello Bug, thank you very much for your appreciation, and if there will be a build log of your next Confederacy, I will follow with big interest! Werner

    Hi modelers, Meanwhile I took a series of pictures of the finished model, and I just loaded them up into the gallery of finished models. Any remarks, questions and constructive criticism welcome. Thanks to all co-builders of this model who gave me inspiration by following their build logs. Greetings Werner

    Hi folks, what a birthday present! Just yesterday on my 67th birthday I got my Confederacy FINISHED...... The pictures of the anchor were the last I took from the unfinished model, and in the last days before yesterday there were only some steps left......mounting the rudder, the ship´s boats, the waist rails, the mast stumps, the quarterdeck railings and finally the figurehead as the very last part to be glued in place. Yesterday, the only remaining work was to make some paint touch-ups on the stern decoration figures and the figurehead. What I also meanwhile did was to build the showcase. In the moment I cannot say when I will take the photos for the finished models gallery, but I let you know when it´s done. At least here two pictures as a first impression.... The next model I´m going to build is an AIDA cruiser ship from Revell which was a christmas present from my sons meanwhile a few years ago..... Always happy modelling..... Greetings Werner

    Hello Kenny, imo there is no alternative to unglue the false deck from the bulkheads and add some spacers.....is it the same on the starboard side? I have had the same problem with some bulkheads, and the opportunity to fix the problem is now, later on no way.....makes the deck planking much easier. Werner

    Hello Kenny, thank you very much for visiting my build log and your appreciation! Besides mine there are many other build logs here where you can profit from. Greetings Werner

    Hello Kenny, Congratulations to your decision from another Confederacy model builder Greetings Werner https://modelshipworld.com/topic/31187-usf-confederacy-1778-by-wernerweiss-model-shipways-164/#comment-884281

    Hello Rick, thank you very much for your appreciation! 1. No, I didn´t use any whitewash or special wood at all, I just used the provided 1/8 x 1/16 inch basswood stripes. The only treatment was sanding the deck when finished. 2. As red for the bulwarks (Schanzkleid in german) and deck fittings I used red ochre as recommended by Caldercraft especially for period ships, see the pictures below. It is easy to find when you google.... I hope I could help you Werner

    Dear modelers, tomorrow my last post is exactly four months ago, and there is much progress with the model. The ship´s boats were placed only for the photos and are not yet glued. I intend to have the model finished soon, because the next model is waiting.... Comments and questions welcome. Greetings Werner

    Marvellous, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing.......!

    Hello Ian, good progress so far.....I myself had not glued the railings at this time. There is still much work to be done on the superstructure, and there is always danger of accidently touching the railings resulting in bending
  37. wernerweiss
    Hi modelers, here the next steps to be posted.....the middle rails and the cathead support knees are done, the framing for the head grating is done, and I started with the grating timbers. Note the additional stripes along the framing and the main headrails as a support for the framing timbers. The cathead support knees were notched instead of removing the hull molding stripes. Greetings Werner

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.
