    Very late to this comment but congratulations on your beautiful "Revenge" . Can I please ask you two questions ( is there a build log..?) 

    1. How did you arrive at the decision not to paint the hull below the waterline white... ( I agree)

    2. what finish did you use on the hull

     

    Thanks for your advice, and congrats on a beautiful Revenge

      John,

      Thank you for your nice comments.

      I did not do a Build Log for my Revenge.

      I decided to not paint the lower hull for purely aesthetic reasons; in terms of historic accuracy my decision may- or may not - be accurate. During this early era the details are often paintings and not nautical drawings. I attempt to create my models too appear to be authentic however, I don’t sacrifice aesthetics for the sake of absolute fidelity: I really liked the beautiful shape and wood tone of the Revenge’s hull!

      I typically plank all my Age of Sail models in Swiss Pear and use a natural stain (Minwax brand). For finish I also use a Minwax Wipe-ON POLY(urethane) in satin (not gloss). As you can see from my other models, I prefer the look of natural woods and use very little or no

      paint.

      I hope my answers are helpful. If you’re starting a build of the Revenge, you’ll find it an excellent kit and greatly satisfying.

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.
