    I did the same thing and had to go back and remove them.

    I might match his speed, but he's way ahead when craftsmanship is included as well. I have a bunch of different hobbies that I switch between. Any skills that I build up are lost again when I put aside a hobby for a while. I'm sure I'll still be building boats when Chris releases the Duchess of Kingston. I'll try to raise my quality of build a little on that one.

    Some more progress...
  25. dkuehn
    Well, you've got one sold already. 😀

    Got the cannons placed with the breech rope. That's all I'm going to do for the cannon rigging. I was going for rigging sort of like this cannon.

    Here's a close up pic of the area. I just left them out.

    This is what I did. My wales took up most of the space and the boom crutch parts 128 tied into the wales so I left it at that. I just build for fun and I'm not worried about getting things perfect, so obviously keep that in mind with anything I say or do. 😃
  29. dkuehn
    I omitted that detail because my wales took up most of that space and the boom crutch parts 128 seemed to tie into the wales enough for my tastes. I'll go check your log and comment if it seems like it would be helpful to do so.

    I wish I had the patience to go slow and shoot for perfection, but I'd go insane if I tried as I lack the tools and skills for that. Maybe one day. I did take yesterday off from boat building and did some work around the house to keep my wife from handing me divorce papers. 😃

    More progress. Starting to become more fun with the planking out of the way.
  32. dkuehn
    Thank you. It's easy to move along quickly when you're not concerned with obtaining perfection. I agree about the pear, I really like it.
  33. dkuehn
    Little more progress, power was only out for about 30 hours, not too bad.
  34. dkuehn
    I can see how "very unhealthy" would be difficult to celebrate. My house burned down in the 2017 Tubbs fire, anything short of my current house burning down is pretty easy for me to stomach.

    I have finished planking the lower part of the hull and now I'm working on the inside bulwark. I have not done any sanding so the hull planking looks pretty rough at the moment. Also I am in northern California and our power is shut off because of windy weather so I had to take the picture with a flash.

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.
