    Doors were provided with 0.5 mm nails, 0.4 mm for the windows. They're also waxed ..

    In addition, I'm preparing to drill holes for the big nails on the wales, they're on the plan but, after a closer look, in the wrong distance..

    Blimey, what do you need to do to get a gold! An amazing build well done, and I never comment unless seriously impressed.

     

    Perhaps could describe as a merchant ship brought into the Royal Navy for convoy escort protection? The problem with a lot of these kits is they seemed to go out of their way to take real plans and make the description as inaccurate as possible so that you cannot trace the original. Or as in the Unicorn and Royal Caroline, have a full set of plans and then not bother to use them for the model, very strange!

     

    I think the problem was with starting by following the kit accurately, e.g. wide deck boards and gaps between them. After that, I started studying more. But I'm still happy as it is. I also found out that little would be enough to make the kit more accurate, but the manufacturer probably doesn't want that or it would be too expensive. 
     
    Thank you very much for your feedback! Ondras71 :piratebo5:

    Hello. I was also dealing with how to make clean edges on the gunports. On the internet i found a simple way of hand-making this. I mark the ends of the boards with a hole-shaped cork, cut it out roughly and then grind it with sandpaper on a strip. After some testing, it works....

    I use the Proxxon TG 125 / E front disc grinder to grind the board ends. If needed, I slowly turn it by hand taking less material...:) O.

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.
