16 down, 13 to go: I have one more crown and one more flower/knot looking piece. All the door frames for the interior bulkheads are done. I have one more stern window frame, 2 quarter gallery doors, 6 fleure de lis and Elizabeth’s monogram remaining. Then I’ll finish up the doors and proceed with the end of deck bulkheads, with the bulk of my carvings completed. I am going to display the model with the doors open because I made the interior. I usually display stuff buttoned up, as in actual usage.

Game back on for the Revenge! I’d show pictures of the dollhouse but let’s just be honest, I’m much better with card, and my gluing is terrible. That’s one reason why I paint everything and don’t typically try card kits of things like tanks and planes. Now, using the card kit pieces like I’m using the plan sheets for this model, with everything getting replaced and painted, that I can do. Here’s where I’m at with the carvings: Progress is slow but steady! In other news, I bought the Victory Models HMS Vanguard plan set from Cornwall Model Boats today. Another future project to add to my stash.

Nice finish Tomek! Also, they have 3D printed guns and carvings, and laser cut sheets! I got my kit a couple of months ago. It will be one of my next projects!

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.
