    Halfway through Chapter 11, the gangways and their ladders along with newel posts and their fancy work is done. The Chesstrees and fenders, with their friezes completed. All of the Channels installed and I have started adding the channel straps, I looked at both boxwood or ebony deadeyes and I didn’t like the look of either so I have ordered some Swiss Pear deadeyes hoping they give the look that I want. I have also made a decision about the swivel guns - I’m not going to install them or their mounts - not keen on how they look on finished models that I have seen sticking up and altering the flow of the model.

    Let me be among the first to Congratulate you Glenn, you have achieved a stunning model of the Winchelsea and I look forward to following your next project.

    Pushing forward into Chapter 11, I cleaned all of the channel pieces and glued the layers together and faired the backside to fit each location, I then added 1mm brass pins to each of them, 2 pins for the smaller ones and 3 pins for the longer ones. The trim work was cut away and then holes in the hull drilled to suit the pin positions, then the channel was glued in place. I just completed the port side and will get the other side done this week.

    When do we get to see more JJ?

    I’m not sure about the “all natural” quote there Glenn, there is actually a lot more paint on this model than I like personally, but we all have to expand our horizons. My Pegasus only has one color of paint on it, and I now wish I had done that in ebony wood. ben

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.
