    Hey Chuck, on fore can’t frame #10, it looks like the lower chock joint doesn’t match the run of the others?
  2. Trussben
    Congrats on a fantastic model.
  3. Trussben
    That is a very clever way to construct the Cant frames Chuck! Very clever indeed.
  4. Trussben
    Thanks Chris.
  5. Trussben
    And the source?
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
  8. Trussben
    Nice Rusty
  9. Trussben
    Your not the only one!
  10. Trussben
    Lining off - pays off!
  11. Trussben
    Hopefully David will agree to complete the rest of the carvings for the model.

    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.

    Very nice start to the deck planking, much easier now after that central section is completed.
  14. Trussben
    Excellent - Congrats.
  15. Trussben
    Congrats on the completion of your model.
  16. Trussben
    Any Progress Jeff?
  17. Trussben
    Enjoy the Planking - there is plenty of it!
  18. Trussben
    Yes Allan - They will get rounded above deck line.

    Making the main hatch gratings as per TFFM, wow - when you make these at actual scale thickness they are very thin, flimsy and easy to break. I haven’t decided if I will stain the comings black or leave natural pear.

    Thanks Greg, yes it is nice sometimes to jump between them, I have not yet decided if I’m rigging Pegasus but leaning slightly towards it! I am definitely not rigging the Winnie.
  21. Trussben
    Well done! It appears you nailed getting all the QG angles correct and parallel to each other.
  22. Trussben
    Main mast partner cross chocks have been made along with the mizzenmast partner and Capstan step. Now I have started with the main hatchway coming - it’s aft side has been carefully notched to accept the cross chock so it spans across the beam halfway.
  23. Trussben
    Excellent Progress Chuck, the upright framing technique you have developed for Speedwell is really superb - I look forward to see how you do the cant frames and the Bollard Timbers!
  24. Trussben
    JJ - I personally actually find it better to have two builds! When I get annoyed or distracted with one I work on the other one for a bit.
  25. Trussben
    And the pumps and Capstan.

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.
