Hi guys (m/f) ;-) thanks for all the likes In the meanwhile I also finished the gun port lids on starboard: Since the top and bottom of the ports are, closes to, parallel to the deck but the sides orthogonal to the water line they are all slightly different.... As you can see on this picture as well I'm also in the process of putting the bolds in. they will all take 14 pieces of fittings, I'm about half way making those. Mainly the hinges is taking some serious time. Have fun, Michiel

well slowly?? :mellow: I think you're making a very decent pass here. Nice work, Michiel -
thanks for the nice words, @ michael, yes its some for of box wood. I got it from a college builder in the Netherlands… , not the high quality I bought once in a wood shop in Arnhem, there is some deviations in the colors but it really machines superb. Clearly if the was a creator of the universe he was not into model ship building else there would be only one type of three's Best, Michiel

Hi guys, I've been a bit bussy with other thing lately, and wenn I was building it was mainly replicating stuff on starboard that were already done on port, damm symmetry Anyhow, I took some leave from that and made some details. For the interior: a doorway from the cabin to the side. (for the reference the planking is 5mm wide) And some more lanterns for the gun deck: Best, Michiel

Hi Mark, I was a bit busy lately so I only now noticed your decision. A brave one indeed. All the best with 2.0 I'll keep watching from a distance ;-) Best, Michiel

Some weeks ago I started working on the guns for the main deck. Here's short impression of the progress and methods. As for the wheels, I have been trying for a while to find a satisfactory way to have them both round, centered, and 'ringed'. Here's what I came up with after some experimenting: I guess the images speak for themselves, If not please feel free to ask any question. They are made of pear, 3mm axis, 6mm ring, 8mm total diameter Best, Michiel

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.
