    For a swivel mounted carronade it will be similar to this: That’s on the Victory, so the carronade is a little bigger and a little heavier than what Niagara packed, but yours will be of a similar configuration, just most likely with only one set of blocks on each side to aim, not two sets on each side like is on mine.

    Masts are assembled! Next: paint and permanent installation once everything dries!
  18. GrandpaPhil

    Main mast is shaped:

    One of the things I really enjoy about Steven’s builds is the sheer amount of historical research from primary sources that is done, and the debates that interpreting those sources creates. I have learned a lot from them and it is incredible to see the models take shape that embodies that research.
  22. GrandpaPhil
    Very nicely done!

    I have found Chapelle’s books to be invaluable.
  24. GrandpaPhil
    Ferrus, Howard Chapelle has several excellent examples of pilot cutters in his books “The History of American Sailing Ships” and “The Search For Speed Under Sail”. His books are some of my go-to references for 19th Century sailing vessels. He has many sets of hull lines/plans and isometric drawings of different ships, including pilot boats. That may help you with the hull/deck design. Chapelle’s books are very common and can be found on EBay cheaply.

    Congratulations! Very well done!

    The foremast is shaped:

    All masts are cut to length: I now know how big this model is going to be. Now to finish shaping them and get them permanently installed. I am using my classic scalpel carving method.

    Bob, Very nicely done! Tell Captain Marvin to enjoy his new ride!

    Is there any news on when the monograph for the Royal Yacht Fubbs will be available for purchase?

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.
