Thank you everyone for all the likes! I’m glad you like the build! I finished cutting out the starboard channels. I still need to drill holes for the eyebolts and they all need painted prior to installation, but I have them sitting in their approximate spots so I can check fit and that they won’t interfere with the gunports. They will be pinned in place, in addition to being glued, for strength.

Monfeld’s book is my go-to reference book. I’m on my third copy of it.

Christian, I’ve been watching this build for a while. You have done an amazing job with it. Well done on the ships boats. I will be making a set for Victory in the near future, hopefully I will do as well. The Confederacy is a neat subject for a model. I have both the Chapelle and the Hahn plans for it.

Thank you for the information. I still have over 150 blades to go through with my last set of scalpel blades, but I threw some supatool blades and a handle in my wish list for when I run low. -
The other thing about 1/32 scale is that it corresponds to 54mm in figure scales, which would make finding crew figures really easy. Looking forward to seeing this build!

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.
