Finally managed to spend a couple of hours in the shipyard, seems like years but I should start to get more time now that the weather has changed and work on the house has been completed. I installed the gun/sweep port sills and lintles, removed the temp spacers below the gunport, and have started fairing it all down. I started with 100 grit, then 220 and now at 320. When finished I will install the keelson and the ribband, remove the rest of the temp spacers and add the last piece of frame above the gunport. ben

That's some great thinking there Rusty, the mortars really look the part. I think I may get a few hours to get back on the Echo tomorrow, have you done any more in yours? Ben

Nice Rusty, the experiment on treenail sizes is always fun! I personally prefer the smaller ones but that's just me. Ben

Haha! Only 1/64 out!!! But it played a part of my QG's were all screwed up! Take your time Augie! She is a big girl and 1/64 will show if your not careful while you are framing it all. Ben

Very nice Augie, everything looks perfect from what I can tell. Now now Andy, I can't remember how long it took me but now I can't get 5 minutes modeling time on anything. Ben

You will get there Chris, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when I do that in basswood! A bloody pulpy stringy mess is what I'm guessing. Ben

HMS Victory by JPett - Corel - 1:98
Trussben replied to JPett's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800
Well JP, you have jumped in the deep end of kit building that's for sure :-)) I'm sure with the lessons you have already learned you will do a great job. I will follow with interest. Ben -
Augie, did you remember to add some support for the false deck behind the beakhead? As you begin the gunport framing make sure to use the temp batterns to get a good and smooth/even sheer down her length, mine matched very close to the laser marks but still needed a lil but of adjustment. Enjoy and I look forward to seeing your next steps, brings back great memories. Ben

Hi Augie, I have a pen sander but it's the proxon version, much the same I would imagine. Mine came with a few different pads of different shapes and grits but the paper itself doesn't hold up so well I find, wears out real quick, so I just use some normal 80/150/220 grit paper and double sided tape to make my own pads, lasts longer too and much cheaper than buying them.

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.
