    It looks great! Well done!

    Just remember paper is cheap and easy to obtain. You can always make some out of paper and if you don’t like them, you can always make wood ones. If you look at my Victory build, I used paper gratings on a modified Mantua kit. Your’s look a lot nicer than mine did.

    Thank you both very much!

    Life is really busy right now so all hobby work has slowed to a crawl. The stove is cleaned up and edge painted. Plus, I started another fitting that sits next to it. Completely not ship related, but I enjoy painting miniature figures. The Admiral really likes sloths. I found a set of 28mm DnD sloth figures from Dark Sword Miniatures. The Admiral asked me to buy some of them and paint them for her. So, I bought her 3 of them. Here’s the first one:

    I would personally choose the Model Shipways kit if I were going to build the Rattlesnake from a kit. They will replace any part that is defective or otherwise breaks for free, no questions asked. Although, I would choose the SI plans for accuracy.

    Eberhard, Amazing work!

    Making progress: Here is the galley stove: It is tiny! The plans call for the galley to be located on the upper gun deck, so I didn’t draw this piece up on the plans for Magenta.

    Congratulations! Well done!

    Thank you very much! This build has been fun and informative!

    Steven, Henry Grace a Dieu is looking phenomenal. What’s the wood grain orientation on the dead eyes that are holding? At that size, that would become a factor. Also, I’ve used thin CA on small wood parts to shore them up before.

    Amazing work! Best of luck to you and yours!

    Progress has been very slow because life has been very busy. The ship’s wheel needs sealed in place. The frame for the ladder aft of the blockhouse needs edge painted, sealed and glued down. The other frames need their inside trim pieces cut out and installed.

    Congratulations! Well done!

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.
