Quick update on the completed door handles. After drilling the holes deeper I was able to place the eyebolts through before bending and using marker to blacken them. The paint I have wouldn’t adhere. I am not completely happy with this result but it is tidy enough for this scale and I believe it will blend in when other details are added. The main hatches and upper deck planking is next. Steve

That is pretty outrageous. Sorry to hear that. I noticed someone picking up my model to view it at one point. I thought that was a bit out of line as well. Unless you give permission that is not okay. Steve

Prior to installing the boat on the display base, strips of brown felt were glued for a custom fit. Three days of rigging the buckets with handles and rope coils using Syren ULTRA scale rope completed the model. I did my best to tie sheet bend knots, although that detail is difficult to notice at this scale. This was an enjoyable project and I learned a lot. Thank you David for designing this kit and keeping an eye on the build. Ryland Craze and Mike Stuntflyer, our exchanges on paint strategies and finishes was invaluable. I hope the rest of you will continue to follow as I get back to the Mayflower- Model Shipways. Steve

Yes, agreed. A drill will be necessary, but I don’t think she will need it for quite some time into her next project.

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.
