    Nice work! FYI: The link in post #3 (2 page drawing) appears to be broken. Richard

    Nicely Done! I noticed in some of your other projects you mention finishing with an acrylic case. Can you tell us your source? Richard

    Interesting project. Staudt's plans show 2 cannon sizes. Are you turning both, or only the longer version? I like the choice of wood. Nice work! Richard

    Thanks for sharing! I wonder if there is a chance to purchase cannons for those of us without a lathe? Richard
  16. Rpolson
    The keg is a nice touch. Care to share how you made it? Richard

    Nice work! Richard

    That would correspond to 14AWG wire size. But, as you said, the toothpicks work easily! Thanks for the feedback. Richard
  19. Rpolson
    I was going to use appropriate size black annealed wire. But your treenails would work too. Thanks, Richard

    Nice work! Curious as to what you are using to simulate the bolts. Richard
  21. Rpolson
    Dave, I agree with Svein on the simulated treenails. For those of us treenailing, what is the size of the treenail? Richard

    I must thank you for inspiring me to continue with my build which I had just started when I stumbled across your log. Richard

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.
