You do very good work! We all improve with experience... I know it's too late now but when I have done barrels/ kegs, I simply use a wide tipped black felt marker and carefully and gently drag across the high points of the bands. That looks just fine to me anyways. Enjoying watching your build! John.

Thanks Arthur... I've been watching your "Philly Gun Boat" build, nice! I have an old MS solid hull kit from the 50's that I bought on Ebay for $15. There are some missing parts and someone began the model somewhere along the line. I plan on just doing a generic frigate half hull mounted on a nice chunk of wood. In the meantime I'll decide what to build next. There's so many I like though!

Thanks for the generous comments...Mike, I wrestled with the question of where to position the horse/traveler and tiller for a while. The instructions placed the combo as they are and I did look for the proper arrangement. If I was the sailor who had to operate the boat, I would have the horse over the tiller. There is plenty of discussion concerning this placement but I ultimately went with the kit suggested arrangement.

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.
