    Mark, I don’t foresee any problems making the carrier out of aluminum, I am just a bit hesitant about drilling the hole through the spindle headstock. It seems like drilling through 4 or 5 inches of aluminum would be quite an adventure and I don’t own a drill press. But it might be easy enough to mill a slot in a 1/2 square piece and epoxy it into the headstock inside corner to hide the wire. I’ll figure it out. Thanks again for the excellent design. Ian

    Hi Mark, Thanks for the explanation. The hole in your spindle stock stumped me until I realized that the headstock I have predates yours by a few years when there was no through hole, which as you say is perfect to run the wires up out of the way. That’s too much aluminum for me to tackle so I’ll try to find a different solution. Best, Ian
  16. Seventynet
    That is a nice idea, Mark. Since I see you are not CNC did you use a fly cutter to make the hole? I think I will make this too. I notice there are dimmable RBG and possibly white light rings on Amazon that could address brightness levels. How did you run the wires up? It looks like the wire comes out the top of the headstock spacer…? Regards, Ian

    I agree with Yves. I used some 40 grit to start, eventually getting it to 220 grit and used fairing strips as I went. Lots of elbow grease. Ian

    Your planking job looks first rate. As far as what to finish it with I can’t help you but I do understand your sentiment as I felt the same way when I finished the walnut on my catboat. I often look at it and think I’ll paint a waterline and some colour below it, and maybe I will someday. Anyway your beautiful ship inspires me to get at my kit. Ian

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.
