Made quite a bit of progress today! Painted and installed the gun port lids (both the open and closes ones). The hinges that are included actually look great. I test fit the cannons and carronades to see how they looked. I installed both Main Deck Fife rails as well as the Forecastle Deck Pin Rail. I also installed the cat heads. I actually cut them in two pieces to avoid cutting through the hull. I installed all the channels/pin rails as well. This took a while to clean out the slots where they penetrate the hull. I was somewhat careless when painting and paid fo

Made some more progress this afternoon! Assembled, painted, and installed the cabin doors as well as the stairways. Next I removed a number of laser cut components and primed them. I also primed and painted a number of cast metal deck fittings including the windlass and skylight roofs. Trying to keep up the slow steady progress!

Started off by installing the trim molding on the stern of the ship as well as the cabin windows. Next up was assembling the ladders. I primed them after this picture. Finally I mounted the various deck grates and long boat. I also assembled the long boat decking. I also mounted the various eye hooks for the cannons. Next up is just continued work on the deck fittings!

Finally back at it! Spent a little time getting up to speed at where I had left the model and just getting myself re-acquainted with the plans. Next I installed the cap rails and inner bulwarks moldings. Next I collected a number of pieces I anticipated needing to prime and primed them. A slow day but back to making progress

After examining the hull again I realized that one half of the waterline was in the wrong spot This resulted in me needing to remove a couple rows of plates, re-mask, paint, and re-install with new plates another row. A little frustrated at my mistake but it’s fixed now. On to making progress again!

Blackening Britannia Metal
sjanicki replied to stevenmh's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Hi @stevenmh and @Osmosis, could you possibly explain the difference between blackening britannia and just painting it? The reason I ask is I have a number of Britannia fittings on my current build that will need to be colored black at some point. On my previous builds I painted them but perhaps the blackening you mention will provide a superior finish. Thank you!

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.
