Hi Lou. The ship’s boat (cutter part no L130) was the only extra (other than a rotary cutter that I’m concerned will never float!). No little people. I had ordered a set barrels and a cutter (different version that used a moulded hull to form the ribs on). It will be interesting to me to find out which cutter (excluding the rotary 🤪) turns out to be easiest to assemble. I’ve had ship’s boats from Model Expo, Dusek and Master Korabel so far. Two of them were fun to build.

great project and you’ve got a good start! It will be fun to watch. I’ve got the kit now and am keen to see you approach to construction steps. Given how delicate the frames are at this stage it seems like it will be a challenge to clamp them while you fair the tops of the frames. Have you done any bevelling on the frames near the bow or stern yet?

At long last I've finished the coppering of the hull. It hasn't been a very intense effort until the last month but I'm happy to have completed it and am satisfied with the results!

Now I have run into some difficulty and would benefit from advice! I'll preface my problem with a reminder that I had decided to try to scratch build. To me that meant milling my own wood and using Chuck's plans to cut out all the pieces rather that using the lasercut components. I did purchase the chapter 1 laser cut material as a reference. So far I have used it only to compare my scratch bits with the precision ones. (aside : as I look at quarter gallery description in Chuck's build log and the more advanced builds in this group I'm questioning my hubris at attempting this -

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.
