B.E. (and Kurt) you are just so darn inventive. I wish I was behind you guys so I could benefit from your ideas but I’m well into hull planking now. The only small suggestion I can make is that when it comes to thinning the stern flank pieces, think about using a jewelry saw instead of a dremel drum to get very close to where you need to be. I just didn’t trust myself to hit the adjacent stern frames. Worked perfectly and reduced the sawdust and noise fury. Ian

I’m pulling up a chair if you don’t mind Mike. Love your work and this frigate is on my list once I finish the Cheerful and some other kits. Has Chuck made the book and other parts for it available yet? Best regards, Ian

Don, those sails look great! I will make a suggestion without knowing whether it will work but perhaps you could experiment with. My daughter passed on a trick she uses while travelling. Mix one quarter fabric softener with three quarters water and spray the material. Let dry and maybe...just maybe...the wrinkles will leave. I’ve never tried it but my daughter swears it works. 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.
