    All upper lids have been completed, I am continuing the construction of the lower lids.

    Yes, exactly that was the reason why I installed the curtains a little bit above the gun port.

    I'm back at the shipyard for a few days and took the opportunity to start making the gun port lids. I will leave the lids in the open position. I didn't add the lid hinges since they wouldn't be visible anyway. I glued the lids directly to the top of the ports.

    I think the photo I shared in my previous post, taken on the real ship, is being overlooked. In the photo, it is clearly seen that the hook is perpendicular to the eye. However, I apologize if I caused confusion on this matter. Of course, the model is Peter's and he is free to make it however he wants. Mine was just a suggestion.
  25. mtbediz
    Just a suggestion. If you can make the hook and the hole 90 degrees perpendicular to each other, it will look nicer and you will do it accurate.
  26. mtbediz
    I knew you would find a way to make this. Doing it without clamps is almost impossible.
  27. mtbediz
    Thanks for the explanation Peter, I liked your method. I am sharing my own method for the friends who follow. So it will be a second alternative for them. I pass the rope through the hole of the hook, wrap it around the block and tie a simple knot. I put a small drop of CA on the knot and cut the excess of the knot after it dries. Unless you look very carefully, it is almost impossible to see these knots on the model with the naked eye. This only takes me 1-2 minutes.
  28. mtbediz
    This is great news. I'm looking forward to you starting your Conny build.
  29. mtbediz
    Everything looks good and correct. I'm just wondering how you attached the hooks to the double blocks. My summer vacation has started but as you can see I am still here and following
  30. mtbediz
    Thanks for the reply.
  31. mtbediz
    I am glad to hear that and yes I have started my summer vacation and I already miss my shipyard :)

    Congrats Greg, you have built an excellent model. You have been posting very infrequently while building the model but I knew you were working on it constantly and I was eager to see the final product. I hope you post more often as you build your Constitution, Once again, congratulations!
  33. mtbediz
    Excellent job!
  34. mtbediz
    You achieved very good results Thomas. How is this etching application done? Is it done with a machine or something? Thanks.
  35. mtbediz
    Your transom looks very nice, Peter. I either have to buy these stars or cut them out myself. What tool did you use to cut these stars?

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.
