Thank you Malcolm, as it happens, I did get to visit HRU in June 2022, also the RNLI boats housed in Sheringham Museum. Both are a must if people find themselves in Sheringham or the vicinity, plus those places mentioned in Andrew's (@AJohnson) post above. As an extra, the RNLI/Grace Darling museum in Bamburgh, Northumberland is well be worth a visit if ever up that way. Many thanks for visiting my log Malcolm. This build will continue this winter. Cheers

I'm still making eyelets and rings, dozens and dozens of the things! I've upgraded my tools for this with new round needle nosed pliers and a decent pair of flush cut snips Oh and I also got a couple of Vallorbe needle files. Thanks to everyone who's looked in, commented and hit the thumbs up. Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until Christmas time before I can start arming Winnie, this year's list is cannon and more cannon, and maybe chapter 7 parts. Cheers

I'd be interested in this boat, it'll make a cracking little project. Very nice, precise work as usual, from Chuck.

It's turned to be a great model, all power to you!! -
Thanks to all for the encouraging comments. Over the last week or so, I've made eight hinges, only 12 more to go, but I've only got enough brass strip for 9. The search is on for some more strip. 4 gun port lids have had their hinges fitted I still need to make and fit the pivot for the hinges and remove the molding where the hinge will sit. An order of .8mm wire has arrived, so I will make the larger ring bolts. Thank you everyone who has commented, and for the likes, or for looking in. Cheers

Certainly, if one has access to a large bench saw and thickness planer, timber can be found by contacting a tree surgeon in ones area, who more often than not, are more than willing to give you wood. Also local timber yards stock clearish constructional timber in various lengths, thicknesses and widths for a fraction of the price of PAR/PSE wood eg £3.50 for 6ft of 4x2 spruce. In my own case I have carpenter/ joiner acquaintances withe the right kit, if or when I need.

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.
