    Great idea Keith, well done and my aren't you lucky being allowed onto the dining room table, I'm not even allowed to bring it inside the house, although I did sneak the rope walk in when it was really cold, to practise with Regards Paul

    Another option that may be of interest is David White in the AOTS Diana armament section shows the breeching rope lying over the cascable and a ring but says in the text, the ring is a grommet seized to the cascable, so similar to siggis photo but with a ring tied on to the button Regards Paul

    My hms Sirius model is in the same garage as the cheerful Hull and I have had no problems with cracking or shrinking, it has been out there for years now, even through our latest hottest summer for years, however each layer as I have been building from the orlop up has been coated in layers of Tung oil thinned with spirits for the first coat 50/50 I'm not sure if this is what's made the difference to this model or not Regards Paul

    I have liked that but don't if you know what I mean
  14. paulsutcliffe
    Very nicely done Keith, looking like a hull already Regards Paul
  15. paulsutcliffe
    Expansion can then become just as big a problem though as the shrinkage, my cheerful hull below after a year in the garage the wood is holly and was dry and seasoned but has obviously swollen after fitting and painting with watered down acrylic Regards Paul

    Looking much neater OC and will be easier to rig Regards Paul
  17. paulsutcliffe
    Beautiful work, although you missed out how you actually carved the scroll and acanthus leaves, the nail router is a great idea also Regards Paul

    Hi Alan You might want to want to check between frame 7 and 8 as well where it shows a gap in this picture, I had the same problem in that area and when fairing the frames became to thin and I had to replace them, hope this helps going forward Regards Paul

    Nice work Michael, the scarfed joint on top of the cockpit shell look fantastic
  20. paulsutcliffe
    Thanks OC
  21. paulsutcliffe
    And you are certainly doing it justice, well done Regards Paul
  22. paulsutcliffe
    Oh OK definitely agree with you on that one Regards Paul
  23. paulsutcliffe
    Hi OC Are you going to be rigging the model, if so, as you are supergluing the dead eyes on don't you want to orient them and the holes the right way round to ease rigging the shrouds when you get there? Sorry just trying to save you some aggro later on! Regards Paul
  24. paulsutcliffe
    🤣🤣me either
  25. paulsutcliffe

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.
