    Sal, thank you for your kind compliment. An Apprentice? Be careful what you ask for, You 'll be in charge of all the 'fun stuff', you'll be pulling tens of feet of treenails, working hundreds of feet through a rope walk and cut countless blocks to hone your skills. Still interested? Hop on a plane Dave I still prefer castello, although bamboo is easier to pull through a draw plate I dislike the way it looks in its cross section. The fibers stand out more than castello as they are bigger, see this little example. top row light bamboo 0,5 and 0,4 mm bottom row same size castello. I admit with darker bamboo the deference is less but still quite visible with a little magnification Remco

    Wait a minute guys, I stil neet to sand the stubs of the treenails, that are still sticking out 1 mm, flush with the planking. I hope you'll still like it then Dave, I use Castello strips run through the .016" hole of a Byrnes draw plate. Remco

    Great shot of the launcher, it looks very convincing to me! Remco

    The larger scale makes you look younger Remco

    It's really amazing what you are doing Ed. Remco

    Guys, Thank you for all the positive comments of the outside planking. Jan you are right I should not whine over a 0.5 micron fault. It casts a shadow over what the hobby is really about: enjoying building something with your hands, whether from a kit or scratch, of a subject we have interest in, share here on MSW and learn to make the next build better than the one in the shipyard. And of course having fun with this merry band of mad man And let the other four behold my sore thumb And this is what I learned, first draw the run of all the planking on the hull before starting to plank. This would have avoided my 0.5 micron mistake. And because I don't like to post without a picture, I have a severe outbreak of Anobium punctatum in my shipyard. I try to repair the damage done with size 400 micron treenails Remco

    Next to persistance, practice also pays off. Chapeau! Remco

    Your wale has a very smooth line, very nice job. Remco

    Very nice to do the choke in one try, it shows you have patience, a great virtue in this hobby. It will get you a long way Remco

    Looking good Ben, this sure is a tricky part to tackle Remco

    Enough fun , back to the more mundane hull work. Starboard side almost done. Not completely pleased with the run of the planks but I'm unsure if I can improve this. Up next, tree nailing I really like doing that Remco

    Exemplary, what else can I say.... Remco
  13. Remcohe
    Although maybe mundane, it's equally interesting to see how you go about it. Remco

    Looking really wonderful Bob. Remco

    Nice Dave, we all know how much work is involved ;-) Remco

    Piet the paint job makes it look awesome! I hope the hull won't hide too much of the details. Remco

    Thanks guys, girls, Sorry Karl, we have a very strict guns regulation in The Netherlands so I will not be dwelling in that direction. Greg, you obviously now more about domestic cats than I do, so I'll change the story and will name her Patches. Forum rules will not allow me to show hi res pictures of the parts you would like to investigate for the greater good of science. But here's a better one for everybody to study.... Mark, just show the admiral the musket holes in my riding bitts and if she still persist on having a cat I can send Patches (aka kitty soft pawns) over to you. This 5mm critter will do no harm to your beautiful Bellona. So enough fun and to keep myself out of the asylum I continued making the sheer strake, update will follow soon. Remco

    This is crazy Piet, you really pulled it off to make it work! Remco
  19. Remcohe
    Your persistence will pay off... And I admire the way you are tackling this challenge Remco
  20. Remcohe
    Incredibly beautiful. I hope some day I can achieve something like this. I probably should start practicing now and continue at least 10 years.... Remco

    Thanks guys. Hlipplaa, sorry I must have missed your question, I used holy for planking and castello for the other details for the cutter and the longboat. So here's how the story goes, the officer of the marines chased off the annoying rat that has been lurking in my ship's hold for the past years. Meanwhile Paddy the calico ship's cat indulged himself on the remaining mice on the ship and fell asleep on the marine offices bed place. Remco

    Piet the piping looks great, I hope the internal plumbing will be fixed soon too. Remco
  23. Remcohe
    Congratulations Mark, you have made a beautiful model. Remco
  24. Remcohe
    I tried to fix the bite mark with some water Druxey, but unfortunately it's to deep and wide. I can fix it with some colored wax or, we make up a good story how the musket was discharged and hit the riding bitt. I'm with Mark here let's blame the rat Piet one's enough! So here's all painted, blackened and assembled. The wood turned out a little darker than I would have liked, but it will go nicely with all the other mini projects like the wicker basket, cutlery, etc to show off the model. Remco
  25. Remcohe
    Piet I really enjoy watching how you are doing this. Your next project could be a fully brass build steam locomotive Remco

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.
