    Hi All Just to say thank you all for your likes and comments. I have planked the next deck, and sanded it all down and one coat of varnish (two more coats to do). Sorry about all the dust you can see ha-ha, will clean that up soon. Denis.

    Hi All Sorry I am back ha-ha. Just dry fitted the next deck up from the quarterdeck . Put the mizzen mast in to locate the position of the deck as you do with all the decks. As this deck over hangs by about 23mm going on the plans number 8 I had to cut this amount off. Next is to glue the deck on. Denis.

    Hi All First sorry about the photos I have a crap camera. Painted the windows to the quarterdeck. Next is put the liquid glass on the back, then see if it all fits on the deck. Denis.

    Hi Greg The windows will be the same as before . The colour's will be white, dark brown and gold, no light brown as there is no doors. Thank you also for your kind words. Denis.

    Hi All Cannon ports are cut out. Dummy cannon blocks glued ( this time with pins in them ). Now just dry fitted the quarterdeck windows. Have to clean them up and paint them. Denis.

    Hi All Just in case anyone is wondering what Greg was saying re the fur on the dog. I did water colour paintings before I started ship building. Greg is also a very accomplished painter in acrylics and oils. Denis.

    Hi Brian The plans don't call for the main mast fife rail to have belaying pins. But I am sure it must have had them. The kit supplies 14mm ones. I think I will go with the 10mm ones. But if any one can help please advise me. Denis.

    Hi all Just made the bitts and fife rail. Just dry fitted, now will take it apart and clean it up. The belaying pins are 12mm but may change them to 10mm ones. Denis.

    Hi all As I did not make the stove I only did the chimney that comes out of the forecastle deck. I did add a lip to the top of the chimney. I thought that I would also add some rivets to the sides. I got some PVA glue and mixed it with some flour to give the PVA some body (thicken the PVA up). I know the photo looks bad but it looks Ok in real life if you know what I mean ha-ha. Well it is only about 16-17mm high. Denis.

    Hi Thomaslambo In hindsight I would use a pin + Epoxy, I was lucky it happened now and not when I had the second planking on. Denis.

    Hi Pete You are correct in putting a nail in the dummy blocks before gluing to the deck. We all put nails in the deck furniture ie bitts etc before gluing don't we. I should have realised I should have done the same thing with the dummy cannon blocks. I will put nails in the remanding blocks I have to fit. Thank you Pete for your advice I do appreciate it. I know what went wrong, when I put the CA glue on the bottom of the blocks they moved so I had to move them back by this time the CA was just about dry, this became the weak point. If I had a nail in the block they would not have moved. Again thank you Pete. Denis

    Hi Greg It is Ok we all have to redo things it is part of model building :) . Denis.
  22. DenPink
    Hi all. Had a bit of a disaster :( . Two of the dummy cannon blocks under the forecastle decided they did not like the position they were glued in. The little so and so's moved to the center of the deck, and they did not ask me . Now what do I do, after some thought I decided to take two hull planks off. I have now re glued the blocks back. Now putting the hull planks back. So much fun . Denis.

    Hi Frank Your mizzen sail looks spot on. Again very nice work. Denis.

    Hi All Have finished the gratings for the quarterdeck. Denis.

    Hi Nenad As what the people have said above, let us all hope your mother in law recovers soon. My thoughts are with you and your family. Nice work on your CS. Denis.

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.
