    Those are really neat, Glen.

    Glad to hear you're feeling better, Eberhard. The tarpaulin looks very convincing and I look forward to seeing the cutter hanging from her davits.

    An absolutely stunning model made even more so considering the scale and materials used.

    Frank, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Grant, thank you for the tutorial on making sails from silkspan. I think your sails turned out great, very realistic at 1:300 scale.

    Marc, I guarantee they're not seeing the light of day over at Ships of Scale. I want to continue this discussion but not here, I've highjacked Marc's build log enough, I'm moving further discussion on this to the "Gun Carriages" link. Marc, thank you for your patience.

    Never say never, Dave. You're young enough to learn to carve and I'm betting you'd be pretty good at it.

    The ladders turned out looking great, all of the second ship looks convincing. Nice job, Glen.

    Please see page 16 of the below, maybe I'm misinterpreting what I'm reading.

    Kortes, I think all the options look great. The last photo looks perfect to me.

    What in the world it that at the mizzen top?

    For those wishing to go down the gun carriage rabbit hole see the link below. https://thescholarship.ecu.edu/bitstream/handle/10342/7250/BUNYARD-MASTERSTHESIS-2019.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

    Amazing detail and beauty on an insignificant item. You set a high bar, Keith.

    Steven, what is the block size? I picked up some 3mm single blocks form Cornwall Model Boats a couple of years back, they are tiny little buggers. https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?page=search&SS=3mm+blocks&PR=-1&TB=O&ACTION=Go!

    Marc, nice to see you having a great time/trip with your family. In regards to the above quote. If you'll note in the photo below, there are no gun tracks for the Parrott rifle (on the right as you're viewing the photo) to move across and into position. If it's a 60 LB rifle the weight is a little over 2.5 tons, if it's a 100 LB rifle (which is my guess because of the size) the weigh is almost 5 tons. If a deck was going to get ripped to shreds this lump would be the one to do it. Gun carriage trucks (wheels) could have been iron banded. Sea battles were intense but its not like they were happening on a daily basis. Deck plank repair is a simple task and could have been carried out by the carpenter's apprentice with the aid of a couple of crew members if needed.

    Glen, ship #2 is a Zhenger.
  17. Keith Black
    MCB, good to see an update. The hull is coming along nicely.
  18. Keith Black
    Eberhard, sorry that you and your wife contracted Covid, the both of you get well soon. The cutter is a little jewel.
  19. Keith Black
    They look great, Dave.
  20. Keith Black
    Carlo, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Randy, it's better to PM personal information that putting it out there for public consumption. Not to fear any MSW members taking advantage but I'm sure we get trolled by those that might would take advantage. You need to delete David's email addy.
  22. Keith Black
    Mike, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  23. Keith Black
    Mark, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  24. Keith Black
    Dave, just found your new digs, I've got a chair.
  25. Keith Black
    Grant, I look forward to seeing your work with silk span.

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.
