    Beautiful - I think the “boxwood” color version would be best and people can paint them white if they like.

    Congrats on completion of the main framing, took me a couple of years to do that on my Pegasus! And then I had to do it all again! Amazing amount of work for 5 1/2 months.
  3. Trussben
    Superb

    I had to clean up the Dockyard before going on vacation, but thought I would post a couple of pictures of the two models, both in the same scale and of roughly the same timeframe - 1764 for Winchelsea and 1776 for Pegasus.

    Nice!

    Nice progress Ron, yeh - the bollard timbers and cant frames are the hardest to learn - but after them the square frames will seem like a walk in the park. Keep up the good work.

    Small progress to Winnie as I’m spending the small amount of modeling time that I currently get on my Pegasus model. Stove has been completed and I have started work on the gunport lids that are required.

    Hey Chuck, on fore can’t frame #10, it looks like the lower chock joint doesn’t match the run of the others?
  9. Trussben
    Congrats on a fantastic model.
  10. Trussben
    That is a very clever way to construct the Cant frames Chuck! Very clever indeed.
  11. Trussben
    Thanks Chris.
  12. Trussben
    And the source?
  13. Trussben
    Chris - Id be interested to know what contemporary source you had for adding the “extra” two forward gunports on the Quarterdeck - as I have not come across it.
  14. Trussben
    Some progress The taffrail capping pieces on both sides were completed and then I started work on the Quarter Piece blanks - fitting to the hull shape takes time - the extra meat left on these is for the relief carvings that will be added to them - the one you see in the picture is the 4th test piece and I’m sure there will be more!
  15. Trussben
    Nice Rusty
  16. Trussben
    Your not the only one!
  17. Trussben
    Lining off - pays off!
  18. Trussben
    Hopefully David will agree to complete the rest of the carvings for the model.
  19. Trussben
    While trying to make the Quarter piece blanks, I deamed it a good idea to mark out where the Quarter badges would be so there would be no interference between them, so here is the beautiful QB that I commissioned from David Antscherl.
  20. Trussben
    Very nice start to the deck planking, much easier now after that central section is completed.
  21. Trussben
    Excellent - Congrats.
  22. Trussben
    Congrats on the completion of your model.
  23. Trussben
    Any Progress Jeff?
  24. Trussben
    Enjoy the Planking - there is plenty of it!
  25. Trussben
    Yes Allan - They will get rounded above deck line.

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.
