    Hi Frank Your furled sails look just fantastic. Very nice work. The small ones are the hardest to do. On my SoS build I did as much as I could on the mast and yards before I glued them into the decks. But I did label them. Keep up the good work my friend. Denis.

    Hi Denis Only one bulwark was cut off, that was remade and is under the forecastle deck. You have to make another one to support the quarterdeck. Denis.

    Hi All I have made a new forecastle support beam. I decided to glue some walnut strips to the face. I have only dry fitted the beam and forecastle deck. Denis.

    Hi all I have done one cannon to see how it looks. Washed it in Hydrochloric Acid 50% water 50% acid, washed in water for half an hour. I then dried it off. Got a cotton bud and applied the Brass Black. After 10 minute's I washed it in clean water. Dried it off, then a second coat of brass black. I am not that happy with what I have got, I think I should have used fine wire wool before the first coat of brass black. Will have to work on this one before I do more. Denis.

    Hi Max You are doing a fantastic build my friend. Just very, very good workmanship at it's best well done. You don't need me to build your stairs, going on what I have seen . But most of all I am so pleased your dog is A-Ok that is more important , 14.50 years is a good age for a dog treasure the time you will have with him as I know you will. Denis.

    Hi All Just a little update re stairs. Decided not to stain the wood so I just gave it one coat of satin varnish. Denis.
  21. DenPink
    Hi all I have just started to put the stairs together for the main deck. I still have to clean it all up. Not sure yet if I will stain it or just varnish it yet. Denis.
  22. DenPink
    Hi Keith Thank you for your kind words. Denis.
  23. DenPink
    Hi Brian I tried a small window some months back and it is still on the back. All I did was sand the back down to get rid of any surface film so it is nice and bright finish. Sanding also puts scratch marks on the surface so the liquid glass has something to key to. Denis.
  24. DenPink
    Hi Brian No they are the kit ones. Denis
  25. DenPink
    Hi All I have put the liquid glass on the back of the window. Dried fitted it to see how it looked. I have got to say I do like it. Yes I know you will not see it when the upper deck is fitted but it is good practice for later on. 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.
