Looking great! I may borrow that idea for covering the mdf on the ship's boat. I have currently decided that, to me, the worst part of the build is making belayed rope coils (other coils are okay). Maybe its my jig, but it is probably me...

I suppose this was really my question; I glued the cannons in place after they were rigged (it seemed easier to me) so I'll be very curious to see if this would be an easier path. Can't wait to see the results! PS - I didn't but some add the the rigging behind the cannon (the out haul, I've also possibly seen tackle behind referred to traverse tackle but I don't have my books by me - I assume this would help aim)

Looking really nice so far; how much rigging do you plan to add to the cannons?

This is really helpful - I see “everyone” talking about 14” saws and then I’m staring at a $11/1200 laguna and questioning my commitment 😂 (of course after the bandsaw I also need the thickness sander and while the Byrnes looked great there’s also a very expensive Laguna with a DRO). That’s about when I stop, take a deep breathe, and just browse the build logs. Did you simply add the widths of the sheets (factoring some kerf for cuts) and then buy a few larger pieces? I feel like hard maple and/or cherry (heck I’ve even thought about using Chuck’s Alaskan cedar to skip the saw route)

I don’t know what the rope is like in the kit, but typically upgrading the rope is a small upgrade that will really go a long way (the blocks may be similar). Syren has some very nice offerings of both if you decide to go down that route. Good luck and enjoy it! My kids are 4 and 8 and I still try to do a small bit every day.

Bulging 2nd Planks
VTHokiEE replied to drjeckl's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
When all else fails I have at times resorted to my 2 five finger clamps and distract myself for a little while until the glue sets. -
Great job BE! I'll be using this log when I get to mine (of course now I wish I waited for the re-release so I didn't have to scratch the oars and potentially the rudder, but they should be fun exercises). Edit: Do you mind sharing your source for the Airwaves etched stainless steel saw blades? Thanks!

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.
