    agreed! nicely done on the framing.

    If there is one thing I love about this hobby, its the history and the stories behind these great sea going vessels we get to see reproduced here. To hear this story first hand makes this build one to watch. Looking forward to seeing you follow in your honorable fathers footsteps in building this vessel as he did.

    Your deck detail looks very good. Are you replacing the kit belaying pins?
  4. JeffT
    Thanks for the pictures Doris.
  5. JeffT
    Looks good. How did you do the roman numerals?
  6. JeffT
    Great looking ship. I love the deck detail.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that burns various fingers with sandpaper. I though I was doing something wrong.

    I'm not sure if this was posted here before but here are some good pictures of the Essex prototype. http://shipwrightjournal.blogspot.com/2012/05/announcing-frigate-essex-by-model.html

    The decorations look very nice.

    I think its petty standard for some ship models to supply walnut as a second layer of planking.
  14. JeffT
    Looking good so far. Just curious, is this based on the Mantua plans?
  15. JeffT
    Good video! Thanks! And also thanks for the help on soldering. I appreciate it.
  16. JeffT
    Thanks Harvey. I appreciate the tip. I need to practice first for sure. I don't even know what flux is.
  17. JeffT
    Thanks Rusty.

    Sooooo, moving on now. I have setup all the gun ports on each side except the last 3. Those 3 will be rigged open but that will be done later since I don't want to risk knocking the top part off the hull on a regular basis. I also prepped all the deadeyes for the chainplates. The next step is to solder the deadeyes to the chain plates, gulp. I've never soldered anything in my life so I have no idea what to do here. :mellow: a couple shots of the ports. a few deadeyes feeling like I do thinking about the soldering coming up

    Yes Bill, I got the kit a few years ago, so I didn't pay the price they want today.
  20. JeffT
    That is some impressive work. Hope to see more.
  21. JeffT
    the sovereign really is a nice kit. I'm impressed with everything in the box. the keel in this kit looks to be walnut. I've never seen that before so I don't know if its typical for the kit. and there are hundreds of bronze parts.
  22. JeffT
    I didn't find it to be much fun either. It took me 2 months.
  23. JeffT
    The Sovereign is one of my favorites. I have the kit sitting in my closet collecting dust.
  24. JeffT
    Although it looks like a rats nest, I'm sure its completely organized.
  25. JeffT
    In the pictures of the finished Friedrich Wilhelm it looks like the lower gun deck is finished?

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.
