    Very nice indeed.

    I bought the small boat kit from eBay and it was shipped from Russia. The Cannon Jolle I purchased through ModelExpo and it had English instructions.

    I would like to commend Master Korabel for their exceptional service. Within an hour I had the English instructions I requested. Thank you Greenstone. I am finishing up the Cannon Jolle and this is next in the queue.

    Hi Greenstone, I just received this boat in the mail. Looks like a great little kit. After being totally frustrated 4 times by another companies small boat kit I decided to give this one a go. I will start a build log when I start assembly. Is there a possibility of getting English instructions?

    Kurt is the model viewing open to the public?

    Do you mean the Gold Foil Leaf or Gold Leaf Paint?

    Tempting...very tempting.

    Powders are sorta like dry brushing paint.

    Great job Rusty.

    The Winnie sounds like a winner and I am willing to wait for a quality project. Give me time to build my Essex.

    USS Intrepid 1798 to complete our Syren, Connie fleets.

    The Syren had the inhaul rig as you describe so being of the same period I would suspect so did the Connie. Not sure if I would rig all 48.I would put the Rings in the deck and rig one gun P&S other wise it gets way to congested and would be almost impossible to transit the decks with all that gear laid out. Would only take seconds for a gun crew to throw a hook on the ring and the slide and pull the gun back.

    Love the paint jog. Looks wonderful.

    Great work Daria. You should be proud.
  20. Jim Rogers
    What jud said. Make sure you insulate it.
  21. Jim Rogers
    Have you ever tried a Rockwell Sonicrafter for the initial rough carving?
  22. Jim Rogers
    Agree that is a great price BUT refusing to ship is a let down. Why not just advertise locally so you don’t raise the heart rate of us old farts.
  23. Jim Rogers
    Welcome Rory. I noticed you appear to have used half hitches to tie off your rigging. For a more realistic look try seizing them instead. There are several good videos on YouTube that show you how to seize. This will enhance your already well built model. You are doing a great job.

    Not a thing wrong with your hull. Looks great! Nice smooth platform for coppering.
  25. Jim Rogers
    Great job on the small boat and my hat is off to you. I attempted that build four times and never got past the bending ribs. I thought I had out smarted it when I tried polystyrene strips only to have the notches break. Ordered small boat kits from Master Korabel so I will see how that goes. Your Build is beautiful. I love the green.

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.
