    Thank you very much, Edward! Thank you everyone for all the likes! Ended up making the cat tail from laminated card. I trimmed it with a #10 scalpel blade. I made the shot garlands for the carronades (not glued down, they still need painted). I discovered that I had misinterpreted the plans earlier (I’m still learning) and ripped up hatch covers by the main mast so I could make the bitts properly, which run down to the upper gun deck. I started making the ship’s boats because the first set of them will be needed soon. I am using the ones that the Admiral bought me for Christmas two and a half years ago.

    Thank you all for the comments and the likes! Currently working on the shot garlands. The big picture is that I am working on finishing the Upper Gun Deck. However, I am doing the same as before and since I need shot garlands on the spar/quarter decks, I am going to make those too. Thanks for stopping by and stay healthy.

    Welcome! I am sorry to hear about your brother. You have my condolences. I have not built either kit, although both look like nice kits. I also enjoy 1/35 armor. I just bought a BT-7 by Zvezda.

    The Yankee Hero is coming along nicely. I have only built one solid hull kit myself, a Model Shipways Sultana. The hardest part for me was getting the hull done.

    Nicely done! I made my first deadeyes for my Prince de Neufchatel. I used a dowel rod and cut slices after cutting the groove. I drilled the holes last. I keep seeing these yacht America builds. Eventually, I am going to end up building one.

    In Bjorn Landstrom’s “The Ship”, there is a two page picture of Victory under full sail that is clear enough and precise enough that I intend to use it to make my sails (I’ll have to modify the dimensions slightly to account for variances between my model and the picture).

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.
