Peter, you must be in the midst of the middle phase of your working life, when it is most demanding on your time. Well, fear not - we will wait for you, when you are ready. This build is too good to simply forget about. Best, Marc

Well, when simulating a deck with underlying framing, you have to first determine the likely spacing of the beams. The hatchways are always a useful starting point for figuring this out. Once you have a reasonable layout - and I don’t think this necessarily has to exactly match that of the Endeavor replica, it just has to be plausible and regular - you can then figure out, at scale, where planks land on beams within the 25-30’ range. This is one of those things where, since you’re not making a rigorous, fully framed and exact copy of the original ship, there is some latitude, IMO, in executing the details. The goal is an improvement over stock, and that the execution not be jarringly wrong. Of course, the Endeavor is an example of a type of ship called a “Whitby Cat.” If you did want to produce a fully authentic deck layout, I don’t imagine you would have too much difficulty finding original construction drafts that would show the deck framing. It’s really up to you, as to how far you want to take it.

Many congratulations, Bill, on completing this magnificent model. I have always thought this model looks best on its waterline, and the diorama you have created shows her to best advantage. I look forward to watching your Endeavor take shape!

This remains one of my favorite models, Siggi. The paint work is beautiful, but aged to perfection so that it is not perfectly pristine. The woodwork is beautifully executed and always in-scale, and the symmetry from port to starboard is beyond reproach. I also like that this tine period for English warships is the beginning of the end for elegantly rising sheer-lines; in the following decades everything becomes significantly flatter.

Ian, your insights into this kit are just incredible. It would never have occurred to me to think this far ahead.
-
Great video, Bill. I never realized there was fore and aft duct work to help ventilate the hold.

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.
