    I would be doing Winnie a dishonour if I did not try to do my best😁 Thank you Glen, your Winnie is an inspiration alongside Chuck's, and all the others here!!

    Work continues slowly on chapter 7. The first hanging knee, actually it could have been tweaked for a better fit Thanks for all your encouragement, it's appreciated. Cheers

    Thanks for all your interest in my fumblings 😁 I managed to fix another 3 deck beams in place with two more knees and one column I need to shape the hanging knees to move on, so they are my next job Another along the deck view, the curve of the deck planks really shows up on this one Until next time, Cheers

    The rails have been added to the companion way Just need to touch up the black paint And fitted back on the deck Cheers
  26. Edwardkenway
    Yes, I must have made over 15 of them, to see them snap when doing the last tweaks But I enjoyed the challenge Thanks
  27. Edwardkenway
    Continuing with the elements below the quarterdeck, I made the stanchions for the companion way Painted, and pegged I fixed them onto the coaming I'm glad I hadn't glued this down yet I shall be on the rails next. Thanks for looking in👍 Cheers

    Well work continues slowly, the small brackets are frustrating, as I break more than I should, but I now have two!! I took a break from these tiny things and decided to do the columns. I just removed the char and shaped the long central section . Thanks for looking in and hitting the thumbs up. Cheers.

    Hi, a small update, having started fixing the knees, I now have to do the chain pumps, so attempted the small brackets to hold the crank handles. Several hours and a few failures later, I think I've got it!only three more to make, wish me luck! Cheers Thanks for staying interested 🙂

    Thanks for looking in on my fumblings with Winnie!! I have made the mast covers and fixed them And I've made a start on the knees, The two guns and two beams have been glued in. The knees have been sanded to fit fitted and glued on both the port and starboard sides The work continues,more will follow. Cheers, until next time.

    Hi all, The second cabin bulkhead has been tested, tweaked and finally fitted. The door knobs caused me the biggest headache, as the ones Chuck supplies, I managed to break or lose most of them, so fashioned new ones from the offcuts of the cannon trunnions. There are still only two beams glued in, as I daren't glue the others till I'm absolutely sure I can!! It certainly gives Winnie a better look with these bulkheads fitted.thanks for your support. I still have some little niggles to sort out, but work progresses slowly. Cheers

    Welcome aboard It's a hobby in itself perusing these pages, so enjoy!

    Hi, the guns are finished!!! A long slog, and obviously a few more to do when the Q deck and focsle are done. I started by cutting the trunnions by hand but after breaking a few off I changed to a cutting disc on a small rotary tool The fittings are all done in the bulwarks so the first dry fit of the aftmost cabin bulkhead has been done A long way to go still, but I'm getting there. Thanks for looking in and your continued interest. There will be a short break as I'm off to the Yorkshire dales to do some hiking/walking for a week. Cheers
  34. Edwardkenway
    Thanks Frank, there will be one soon, as the artillery for the main deck is finished. I'm still in progress of fitting the ring bolts and and split rings in the bulwarks And then to start on the cabin bulkhead fitting Cheers

    I agree with Alan. The miniature tools are very useful Those platforms look superb

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.
