    Tim I have found very little history. There was a little splurge in Wikipedia. MK never gives any color scheme on any of their models so I just do what I think the Ship may have looked like.

    Lou it is set up for Anti-Submarine Warfare. Very effective, not one submarine attack during her entire career.

    Thanks Lou.

    Got the cannons built and installed, built and installed one of Chuck's helm wheels (it is a teeny bit large but it looks miles better than WM that came with kit), built and installed grates (Chuck's), got the binnacle built and installed (Eugene you might want to correct directions and add binnacle location). Worked on head work.

    Great job on the long boat.
  6. Jim Rogers
    Eugene are you selling the sails on eBay?
  7. Jim Rogers
    She looks stellar Tom.

    I do the backstays last and use them to tighten everything up.

    I tried to share a video from a friend to the MSW page. Facebook sent me to the MSW signup page.

    Chris here is some history and pictures left on my build log by Viggen I thought you might find interesting.

    This is a nice build and makes a very good looking model. I suggest you add some color as MK just has bare wood. Have fun with it.
  12. Jim Rogers
    What is the next one?

    The problem is you have to much pin hanging out the bottom of your stamp and that allows movement when you hit it. Easy to fix. Straighten all your pins out then fill the voids between the pins with epoxy leaving about a 1/16th of an inch showing. Your problem will be solved

    I would go without the fancy work and just paint that area.

    Are your masts glued in yet? If not I suggest adding your blocks now. I have learned the frustration of adding blocks and rigging line later in the build and now do both at the earliest stage I can. Trying to thread a line threw a block under a fighting top is a challenge for these old eyes.

    Get some Bloxygen. Prevents dryout.

    Kurt I see choices for the Banquet but not when it will be held.
  18. Jim Rogers
    Do any cutters come with it.

    David take a peak at the Master Korabel Small boat kits. They are a dream compared to others on the market and come in several different scales.

    I am currently building the pre-spiled Phoenix by Master Korabel. Everything is pre cut, fitted and shaped in this kit. It makes for a beautiful model but as Chuck referenced earlier it is basically building a plastic model using wood. Zero skill required with the exception of figuring out the instructions. You don’t get the frustration and final joy that comes with doing it yourself.

    Welcome aboard. Wow the Morgan as a first build. There are many good build logs for the Morgan on this site. She has a blunt bow which may be intimidating. Build a bending frame and practice. You can do this just take your time, don’t let frustration cause you to quit. Your bride is going to love it.

    Yes, a Byrnes Saw.😂🤣😇😎. I have Same issue with my Micro Mark, in fact I believe it is the same saw as a Proxxon. Saving for a Byrnes.
  23. Jim Rogers
    CA Debond works well for removing parts held in place with CA.
  24. Jim Rogers
    She is looking great so far. Just take your time when you are planking and it will all work out. You’ll do just fine.

    I used Yellow Cedar for my Syren deck so I like the Pine stain. IMO it looks more like a hollystoned deck.

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.
