    Just a quick update nothing picture worthy but filed/sanded ( faired if I knew the lingo lol ) the top of the bulkheads down so the bulwarks can fold around them after I wet them so they will take the shape. Will try that maneuver tomorrow Look at me taking words from the instructions like I know what I'm talking about lol.

    First I would like to wish you a belated birthday wish and second do what you need to do to be happy with the build. It doesn't matter if its your first build or your 20th if your not happy with the results you can always do something about it :)
  11. DCIronfist
    You've got something to be proud of there :)
  12. DCIronfist

  13. DCIronfist

  14. DCIronfist
    Lol yeah and us beginners seem to double the time for half the work lol don't worry about the time :)
  15. DCIronfist
    Ok thanks I will give that a try in a few days then. This build will be an endurance one as I like building but seems everything takes twice as long for me.

    By the way the bulwarks are mde of plywood with the tiny Raman wood lining it and my ca is medium :)
  17. DCIronfist
    Ok so I lined the inside of the bulwarks and cut out the shape and the gun ports ( a more time consuming project then one would think ) and the next step is to glue it on........now to my question...... I know I still have to shape the front a bit but how does one get that bend in the bulwark for the front? Does one use water brute? Putting this on hold until my trustworthy help support team lets me know.... Thanks in advance :) just need pencil lines
  18. DCIronfist
    Lol yes Sjors I went crazy with clamps trying to get the deck flush to hulls shape :)
  19. DCIronfist
    Ok have had the deck clamped for a week while other stuff came up so will glue on poop deck lol
  20. DCIronfist
    I believe I see what you are referring to but do not see it as a problem so will just say wow it sure looks great :)
  21. DCIronfist
    I'm sure I could find a way to break a piece of the concrete lol
  22. DCIronfist
    Thanks Brian I will try to do that :)
  23. DCIronfist
    I guess it should be like medium but will confirm at a later point lol. Now I want pancakes... :)
  24. DCIronfist
    Looks like a nice cross section. I gues telling you I got a garbage can from the dollar store is not the kind of advice you want lol
  25. DCIronfist
    Thanks Augie I currently have wood glue and not sure which CA but it seems to dry quick ...I thought it was medium but not too sure now.

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.
