    Shes a Beauty Chuck!

    Count me in for one of the Kits Chuck - $2300 total for a model like this with the quality that we know you will employ - a no brainer for me!

    She’s a big impressive Beastie there JJ! What are your calculated dimensions of the finished model going to be?
  6. Trussben
    She looks Fantastic Greg.

    If you build it, they will come.

    Well I have to suspend work on Winchelsea for several months at least because We are packing up and moving from upstate NY to the Carolinas. My Winnie is in a perfect stage of construction to stop at as no beams or deck parts have been added yet that could get knocked about or broken, I can pack them separately and safely away in their own boxes and do a really good job packing the main hull. See you next from the south. Ben

    Finishing up Chapter5 with the gunport lids and I thought I would share how I make these. 1. Scotch tape is placed over each of the gunports and then the outline of the port and the position of the plank seams is traced onto it with a pencil. 2. Pieces of the correct width wood to match the planking widths are edge glued together about 1” wide and then the Scotch tape is pulled off the hull and aligned to the wood seams. 3. I roughly sand down to the outline of the outside of the port, and then fine sand while checking the fit until I get a snug fit it the port it is intended for. 4. Add the backing piece to each and paint the insides red.

    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.
  21. 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.

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.
