    Chris, that's amazing especially considering it's paper.
  2. Keith Black
    That's utterly disgusting.

    Best wishes on building the dory.

    Eric, it depends on which direction the wind is blowing. if the open end of the stovepipe you've created were pointed into the wind it would flood the galley with smoke. It really doesn't matter unless you have billowing sails and in that case the opening needs to point towards the bow. Because wind will force smoke back down a stovepipe and for that reason most stovepipes are vertical with a cap. See the attached.

    Allan, the only reason I can think of for a second "locking" pin was for when the carriage was in the stowed position?

    Very nice, Mr Glen, very nice.

    Gary, the link below is informative me thinks. By the early 19th century wouldn't land based carriages have had iron trucks? https://collections.royalarmouries.org/object/rac-object-6135.html And another... https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/source/is3/is3c2.htm

    My two cents worth..........earlier trucks may well indeed have been one piece but as cannon/gun weights increased it became necessary to build a more robust truck being a two piece bolted version.

    Pat, it's so nice to see you back working on Victoria. Your research and keen eye for detail coupled with your ability to make Victoria's bits and pieces is a pleasure to watch.

    Amazing ordeal and the completed process is even more amazing. You've been awarded the seal of approval.......

    Eric, the only issue I see is by putting the ship's ladder there, where is/was the outhouse?

    Nix, can you please provide the letters on the box used as deck. I make the last three letters being RAS but I can't make out the letter/letters preceding the R. The mast seems to be placed in what appears to be a sunburst. I have a hunch the word might be Germany and identifying the company logo maybe beneficial.

    Glen, may the not too much force be with you.

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.
