between music sessions I ordered those planking clamps you use. Might come in handy when I start building this ship. In the meantime I eagerly follow your build. Steady as she goes!

I totally agree! I tried the Union a few years ago, to see if modelling was something for me but gave up. I then found out that The Swift was a far better model to start with (thanks to this forum). I have finished it and I'm half way building the Lady Nelson, which is a good choice for a second build. But still....even if it was failure, it got me interested. A learning experience after all

Right, I see. Thanks! But creating a mold would create another problem (challenge) for me. But the first thing would be getting a prototype. I will stay tuned and see how this project goes. Cheers!

I'm following this with great interest. I don't have any experience with 3D printing, but a friend of mine has. Would it be possible to share the plans so my friend could have a look at it? Or maybe after the experiment? Just wondering....

Brendan White? I got mine from him as well! Went to his house near Eindhoven in Holland a few years ago, met him, played a few and bought one. Double skin and tunable. Great guy, Brendan! My little band of Irish wannabees are going to play at an Irish whiskey tasting event in a few weeks. Free drinks for us!!! As for building, I'm still busy trying to finish the Lady Nelson. The Syren is waiting for me on the shelf. I'm enjoying and appreciating your build. Good learning for me.

Nice to see that there are also musicians who build modelships I myself used to play the drums when I was young (dreaming of a having a Ludwig kit). Nowadays I dabble in Irish Folk music playing the guitar, irish bouzouki and bodhran (which is an Irish hand drum).

So, the older kit (not based on the Hermione now in Rochefort) should have the white flag of Bourbon! But, after checking the kit, it doesn't have a flag at all! Pity

I'll be sneaking and peeking in as well, if you don't mind. Syren will be my next build. I'm deck planking the Lady Nelson at the moment, so ït will take some time yet for me to finish her. But it'll be interesting how your build will go. A learning opportunity for me Have fun! BTW, I got a replacement set of the plywood after mailing them. Great service!

Even more curious than MD11pilot, I went to check my kit (which a relative brought me last christmas while visiting) and it has the reddish plywood in it. I understand that it is the poor quality kind? Should I ask the company to send me the better kind, like Peter's? Advise anyone?

Not to forget the frigate HMS Trincomalee in Hartlepool (just under Newcastle)! I have just returned from a holiday in SW of the States. I also visited the HMS Surprise (Rose)in San Diego. Great experience! Unfortunately (for me, but not for the ship) part of her was unaccesible to public because of repairs/maintenance. Still, just standing on her deck and feeling her moving in the light swell in the harbour is one thing I'm not likely to forget for a long time

Ah, that explains it. Well, I hope the LN isn't going to take 25 years as well Okay, we'll stay around and stick some planks on some bulkheads here and there and patiently wait for you to begin.

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.
