    Good looking metalwork EG. If you can do it with the rivets in the way.... 😉

    The weather was kind last Sunday, so Winnie and I got outside with a couple of sanding blocks. There's still a bit to do but she's getting better it will need another going over with finer grit and a bit more refining in certain areas thanks for looking in, the comments and likes, it is much appreciated. Cheers

    Having caught up on your log, DoK is looking fantastic Derek! I especially like your ladder making idea.

    It was well worth the wait! Excellent work, all the planking looks superb, even more so after the caulking and treenailing. Looking forward to more updates as time allows.

    Really nice progress with the turret Alan, those numbers you've put on must have been almost impossible to keep hold of! Great dexterity 😉😄

    The foresail is rigged, but I still need to belay all the ropes apart from the harpoon and various deck clutter I'm about done. The stand is made from a of cherry thanks for the likes. Cheers

    I'm putting the hammock up now. With your expertise, it's gonna be good.

    I'm in. Just climbing into the rafter hammocks.

    Excellent, crisp and clean, a joy to watch Glenn. Your redo is virtually invisible, very nice planking.

    A small update, the gaff? sail is rigged and set, I've got to make some cleats to tie the ropes to the quality of the sails is not great, but as neither the Admiral or I have a sewing machine they will have to do. One more sail to do, then the detail pieces, harpoons etc and I'll be done. Thanks for the likes and visiting. Cheers

    Yay! Winnie's hull is planked! Once I've sanded it, I shall fit the second layer of wales. I didn't darken the plank edges, for the caulking, I forgot to do it at the beginning and thought it would look odd with 2 thirds done, so forgive me for that lapse This part could have been tidier, so I'm hoping the moulding strips will hide the worst of it😬. I'm now waiting for a nice dry day to take her out on the back yard to sand her smooth. Thanks for the likes, comments, critique and just passing by. Cheers

    Good afternoon, the clinker planking on HRU is coming on, though, again I'm using wood glue not CA, so only getting one strake per side each session, 6 on altogether. Thanks for your interest, comments and likes. Cheers

    Hi all, progress is extremely slow, rigging the sails and only spar is proving to be a challenge. The instructions are, to say the least, very sparse! and not very helpful, I've been checking out the other build logs on here and getting slowly to grips! Thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers

    Phew! What a lot to catch up on! I need more time😏 The instrument panel is excellent EG, very nice intricate brush work! PS, I've sent out for more brittle Lou😊
  21. Edwardkenway
    Roger, do you mean on the hull or inside? Although from the photos I have of the boat, the planking looks to be standard clinker and all the internal planking is painted so I'm not sure wether it's diagonal or not.

    welcome to MSW Dan

    Good news about your eyes Mark.
  24. Edwardkenway
    I'm in, a bit late, but a couple of hammocks in the rafters and some nut brittle! I'm glad you're revisiting this plane EG, looking forward to the new edition, with the enhanced bare metal finish. Onwards indeed😉

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.
