Danke für die Grüße! I definitely will enjoy it and I'm sure to realy learn a lot and I can make use in my model(s) to come. In 1946 my father was transferred due to unbearable humanitarian conditions from a French POW camp in Marseille out of French custody into US hands to Camp Holabird in Baltimore. He told me once that this hand-over really saved him from severe illness, starvation and death in the Marseille camp. I still own his German-American English dictionary stamped by the camp's library. So I have some personal relations to Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore in particular. Greetings Joachim

Buon giorno Giampiero, she is a real beauty! I see, that the blackened metal parts such as chain plates etc show no scratches or uncovered spots at all. How do you proceed with the mounting of these parts: 1. Dry fit the un-blackened on the model first? 2. Take these parts all off again and dismantle the wooden components such as the deadeyes etc.? 3. Blacken (what is the agent?) all metal (brass?) first and then reinstall the wooden components again.? (great risk of hurting the metal and the blackening) 4. Finally fastening of the completed and blackened part on the ship ? Or alternatively 1. Dry fit the un-blackened on the model first and then 2. Blacken them in situ? Not staining clear wooden parts with the blackening agent (Liver of sulphur?) I would be very gateful if you enlighten me in these matters. best regards Joachim

As usual I'm fascinated by your modelling capabilities and the quality you achieve. Absolutely miraculous to me is the super short time of a little more than a year you spent for such a complexe build with so many details. I eny you for your persistence and concentration. best regards to you and thumps up for Zaprozhia Joachim

Hello Markus, please have a look at the continuing text; you will find the wording "sighting-top" which seems to be a printing error, spoiling the obvious meaning "fighting-top". I have never heard of a "s"ighting-top, where are stowed studding sails and having one-pounder swivel-guns. Cheers Joachim

Taking Patrik O'Brians novels of the Aubrey/Maturin series a well researched "source" I quote his description of HMS Shannons's mast top during her action vs Chesapeake given at the end of "The fortune of war". It supports Phil's post #21 and I assume hammocks in tops a standard measure of protection long before 1812. It stands to reason that skilled sailors and marksman in the tops were specialists available in limited numbers only. Joachim

Hello Glenn-UK, I wonder, why there are these (many) oblong holes provided in the keel and the bow and how they are going to be closed later on? Will you paint the hull, so they will be covered completely, imho with a bare wood hull they disturbe the flow of the wood grain visibly. cheers Joachim

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.
