    This is going to be a neat and fun build! Looking forward to it! Mark, Count me in on that popcorn, I’ll bring the sliced Serrano peppers to add for flavoring (Serrano’s and jalapeño peppers go really well in fresh popcorn like that).

    Excellently done and executed, Keith!

    The Triton’s plans are in the group projects under the Triton downloads section that will be visible to you shortly, if not already. The dimensions for the masts are in the plans. I bought the Shipyard Mercury, a similar vessel, to get a solid rigging plan that I intend to one of these days utilize with Triton’s dimensions on Triton.

    Check out the HMS Triton group build on this forum. The plans are $5 from the NRG and can be built as POF, POB or a cross section. Everything is pre-lofted and the Triton is a frigate from the 1770’s. The HMS Winchelsea is another excellent project that is the subject of a group build on this forum. The plans are $15 from the NRG and it is designed as a POB build. The Winchelsea is a frigate from 1764.

    Lomellina was slightly larger than the Revenge (granted built later, but similar time period), and the Revenge has a bonaventure mast.

    Maybe another warship from Trafalgar?
  7. GrandpaPhil
    Excellent work!

    The bottom body plan is to the outside of the planking below the waterline. The top body plan is to the outside of the frames. My plans for the Solferino are from the same source. Looking forward to seeing a build of Montebello!

    Amazing work!

    Very nicely done!
  13. GrandpaPhil
    Congratulations! Excellently done!

    Thank you very much! Here are the anchors and the spars in their fully painted and highlighted state: Next up: seal everything and then make some sails!
  15. GrandpaPhil
    Excellent!

    I have painted kit parts in the past. It works best with card to seal the parts first, before painting.
  17. GrandpaPhil
    Looking forward to this one!
  18. GrandpaPhil
    Welcome!
  19. GrandpaPhil
    Very cool!
  20. GrandpaPhil
    Welcome!

    You and me both. That’s why my Victory is only half complete and sits on a shelf now. Sometimes I get in the mood for a battle wagon and then I work on the Victory, but most of the time I want to work on those ships I find beautiful.
  22. GrandpaPhil
    OC, Glad to hear that your eyes are okay!
  23. GrandpaPhil
    Welcome!
  24. GrandpaPhil
    Looking forward to this build!

    And four anchors, awaiting sealing/painting: They’re not perfect, but they’ll work quite well.

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.
