    Just wonderful! Words just do not do justice to work and skill. - Hal

    Hi Brian. I don't glue any of the masts. I run temporary lines to steady the masts until the rigging is set up. I use card templates to check the angles, but I think eyeballing works fine. -Hal

    Strong men and brut force. I once recovered a 8 ft dingy in rough water by myself, getting up on deck 3 ft above the water. Not easy but it can be done. What is not said is the size of the boat nor the size of the crew. (?) -Hal

    Very nice work,but I think you are over gunning the ship. American privateers had large crews to take other ships by boarding. They wouldn't get into gun duels because they didn't want to do much damage the ship they wanted to capture. Privateering was about making money. Any guns carried would mostly be mid ship for weight considerations, especially on these schooners. Four to six guns were I think the normal. Just my opinion. Your ship is coming along VERY nicely. You are the captain so you can arm it as you see fit. - Hal

    A good book, but I too have been waiting/hope for a volume 2.

    I agree with Shipman. They were practical men. If something was in the way and not needed it would most likely be stored. A side question, do your door hinged work? Your work is beyond words, I love watching your ship come together, wonderful!- Hal

    I too ordered the book. Reminds me of a time when I helped in a small way a gentleman who was writing a book about Captain Blakeley and the Wasp. Thanks for the note on the Enterprize book.- Hal

    Wonderful work, just one question, on what deck was the ship's wheel on a Turkish Ship of the Line? - Hal
  22. Seahawk1313
    Very interesting and impressive model. Not the usual Ship of the Line. your constuction is wonderful. - Hal

    Working in 1/96 scale there is no such thing as too small, all go into labelled ( by wood type ) plastic shoe boxes. 😁 - Hal

    Dave, your model is too nice Not to put in a case. I took to long to get one of mine in a case and paid dearly for it (cat that likes string!) Now once I know the rigged size I make the case. - Hal

    I believe each crew member had 2 hammocks if I remember correctly. - Hal

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.
