    Worth the wait, that is looking good!

    Thanks for this. Anyone with BBC iplayer access can download all ten episodes now. I will get my popcorn ready for the weekend.

    It's worth it though, isn't it? It certainly looks good.

    I haven't (yet) seen that feature on any plans. It will hopefully be explained one day, but for now it is another item on my 'watch out for ...' list.

    ... and what to do with your new-found skills as a 1 - 1 boatbuilder. 👍

    October 1688, Sir John Berry, the Elizabeth in the Hope. "... They are taking in their guns, stores and provisions. Currants and flour have been sent to make puddings, which he does not approve of in lieu of beef." So the carnivore vs vegan debate isn't new.

    This is also my question. Your rigging is superb. I hope you can tell us some of the secrets. 👍

    Just to add a bit more light on the subject, in 1746 the master of HMS Lys (1745), a 24-gun sixth-rate vessel, sent this request: "Captain Thomas Knowler, the Lys, Sheerness. Request to have grating tops made and as the hammocks are not sufficient to barracade the netting on each side, asks for bags filled with oakum." The source is a file in the The national archives UK ref ADM 106/1030/301 dated September 15 1746. Perhaps a ship of your size would have sufficient hammocks but clearly this smaller craft did not.

    Very nice, it will be an attractive model. 👍

    A good looking model and a neat workbench: who would have thought it? 👍 Bruce

    Hello Jas and welcome to MSW from the UK. As you have probably already seen, a lot of newcomers to this hobby are experienced in other types of modelmaking. You will find most of your head-scratching moments have already been addressed and solved by someone else. My only advice is: choose a subject that holds your interest and that you want to see sitting on a shelf in your home. Looking forward to seeing what you choose, enjoy it! Bruce

    B E, I really enjoyed this build. Your approach to the problems ( Problems? What problems? ) kinda puts my 1/48th CAFModel longboat build to shame. The display works well. good job.

    !!! What a great subject. I look forward to the curtain raising for the performance.

    Hello Henry, can you narrow down the date a bit? Anything else you know will help to get the right craft. Bruce

    Who hasn't? Welcome to MSW!

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.
