    Those are some of the hardest things on a fully framed model to make, I think my Pegasus ones had two or three attempts before I was happy to move on. Try building some of the other stuff and come back to it with a fresher mind - I know that always helps me when I get frustrated. Looking fantastic either way.

    Hey JJ Im actually thinking of going for a more toned down look and the red ochre would match better with the pear framing instead of competing against it. Also toying in my mind about black channel wales and gunport lids to do maybe a bit of a Nelson chequer type of look, decisions decisions!
  25. Trussben
    While the sanding goes on, and on and on, I decided to take a look at which shade of red that I will use on this model, I used ME Bulwarks red on my Winnie but may change to something different.
  26. Trussben
    Considerably.
  27. Trussben
    All framing has now been completed and the sanding and fairing of the hull has begun, this is going to take time and make a lot of mess.
  28. Trussben
    Looks Awesome.
  29. Trussben
    Transoms sat in place but no glue yet.
  30. Trussben
    Looking really good JJ.
  31. Trussben
    Aft cant framing completed and then I added the two inner stern posts ready for the transoms.
  32. Trussben
    Cornwall has it back in stock.
  33. Trussben
    Hi It will be planked from the wales up, and maybe one or two strakes below, posssibly even the garboard strake.
  34. Trussben
    More framing and started on the port deadwood.
  35. Trussben
    It’s an ink stabilizer and UV protector that helps stop fading. spray on until wet and then allow to dry, I use the Krylon brand stuff. The dullcoat is a varnish lacquer that will do the final seal and give a tougher finish.

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.
