    Then the time was for the stairs the pieces cut After assembling the stairs After staining (the wood from the stairs doesn't really absorb staining that well) After working a bit with dry pigments Stairs in place Bit of staining arround to better integrate the stairs on the floor Build is moving along once again, maybe this time it keeps moving until the end

    good luck on your build, let me know if you start a log Now i have a decision to make, with the paddles in place, it is clear that the waterline should be higher, but if i move it, aesthetically from most points of view, only black will be seen on the hull... so... accuracy or aesthetics...

    judaic bitumen is liquid and acts more like a stain, not like the normal bitument, normal bitumen is the one that can give problems on the long term judaic bitument is used on all kinds of materials to give a antique patina here you can see a couple of links on it beeing used on wood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xJVSJAU9ug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrf-5FsInLg Sorry for beeing in portuguese/brasilian but in english i didn't find any good videos Also keep in mind that depending on the brand/dilution the stain ranges from yelowish-brown-black There are also recipes to make your own, i've never tried any, because i have easy access localy this does look like it had some judaic bitumen used, but also looks like it had work with pigments done over it You can also mix it with wax and work with the stained wax, there's some areas that really look like they had technique used

    A friend dug up a project that was starte quite some years ago and never finished and gave it to me The 1st inspection was about trying to see if there was any missing parts, seems a few wooden pieces are missing, all i've see so far can be replicated easily from the scraps i have arround. Some tears in the instructions along with some water damage, still everything is readable. 2nd inspection on what has been built already, news are not so great, this piece is wrong The main piece of the deck is not centered And the castle already made didn't take into consideration that the is inclined So, the work started, mostly about correcting or minimizing the mistakes more updates soon, the build is already a bit further ahead than this post

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.
