    99 gunport lids with strapping. I used a pounce wheel to create the impression of nail heads. I’m currently drilling the 200 holes for the eyebolts. Progress is good! 😀

    I’ve been really busy the last few weeks and thus have only been able to sneak in a few minutes here and there. Yet, I’m almost done. I have the base coating done and most of the decals have been applied. I still have some detail work to do. But, here it is:

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.
