Congratulations! Very nicely done! -
I bought a pack of regular printer cardstock and poster board a while back and have had good luck with those. Looking forward to seeing the United States come together. It looks like you’ve got a good start!

The lanterns are painted and installed: I also damaged the flag locker while drilling holes, but it will be okay. The damage is very minor. Once the glue dries, I’ll paint the supports and touch up the stern, where I damaged it drilling holes. The stern on this model is a brass sheet, and when I started this model, I didn’t have the skills to make my own. I could make my own now (and will for all my future builds). My skill level has increased exponentially during this build. A lot of those increases have been a result of things that I have learned on this forum.

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.
