    Started the trim work on the hull, 40 minutes of masking for 2 minutes of airbrushing ;). I also used a tooth pick to pre-stop the other colors as a guide/reminder in Pic 2.

    Got the base coast on the hulls and stern, need to detail the stern more then add/cut in the windows and bracing such as it is. Next comes adding the masking and various colors to the hull sides.

    Some further updates got the stern putty done and re-scribed stern planks, now to address building the windows. Patched the original mounting hole for the bowsprit, recut and tested the new alignment so its centered.

    Tonight's project was sanding off the incorrect fish, windows and name detail on the stern. I've not made up my mind on the 'Mayflower' yet? I penciled in the rubboards as well.

    Got the stern cannon ports closed up. I have got to still carve off these dolphins, I can find no evidence that they were on the Mayflower.

    I'm building a Trumpeter Mayflower for a customer and have a hard time believing that way the inst. are saying to terminate the rigs. One would think they would have belaying pins in the rail? I've checked some reference books but can't seem to pin this down yet. Any guidance appr.

    Got a bit more prep painting done this past week.

    I'm doing a build on the Trumpter 1/60th. Mayflower and I'm about to start some sub-assemblies and noticed that the model had no head. I did a quick search on the net and really didn't find much. One article stated they used a chamber pot(s). Does anyone know if the ship had a head for the bow? if so, any drawings could help, I'll need to scratch build one.

    Did they use panes of waxed paper or parchment type material for windows?

    Holidays over time to get back on it, various shots showing decking detail.

    Thank You Phil.

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.
