The build booklet that came with my Victory Models plan set for the Revenge, which is the same that comes with the kit, is phenomenal.

Thank you all very much for the information! I greatly appreciate it! I really like the method of making gratings that Jan demonstrated on his card modeling forum (Thank you again for showing me that). I am going to try it out when I make the gratings for the main decks. They will look better than my last gratings. I will arrange to have the solid bars around the edges of the gratings. While we’re discussing 16th century tech, does anyone know anything about late 16th century artillery, and gun carriages in particular?

Thank you very much! The shipyard workers are working wonders! We have made much more progress. I have not taken pictures yet. The gundeck is made, and installed, from stem to stern. It still needs touched up and sealed, but I have more parts to add, so I think I will take care of everything at once. I have traced out all the parts for the next several pages in the Victory Models instruction book. I am about 2/3 done cutting them out now. I made the two capstans as part of this. I have the beakhead deck ready to test fit, but I still haven’t cut out and laminated all of the associated pieces.

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.
