    Or dry brush charcoal gray over the black. That’s how I made mine a few years ago (1/144 scale Trumpeter kit)

    Interesting reading. Thank you for posting these.

    All I can say is to work slowly. You are doing an awesome job on the Pearl and the crew!

    Thank you very much! The ten carriages for the long twelves and the two for the medium twelve pound bow chasers are made. I still need to paint them. I’ll paint them after I make the last six for the short twelves.

    The test fit is a success:

    72 wheels. The rear wheels are 1/16” less in diameter than the front wheels.

    Thank you all! I’m currently working on making the gun carriages for the long twelves:

    Welcome!

    The cannon barrels are painted black. I’ll add the faux metallic effects to make them look like cast iron after I put them on their carriages. I have been cutting out pieces for the long 12’s carriages.

    Thank you very much. It is intended for a game called Bolt Action. I have built several models from this line. I have never played it, but the models and miniatures are top notch.

    I run all rigging thread through a block of beeswax, that I got at the hardware store. It works wonders for preventing fraying.
  23. GrandpaPhil
    Copper tape works well too. I’ve used it for two models now.

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.
