    Thanks Gregory and sorry Rob B for such a long time in responding. As stated, no parts list. I've found it extremely beneficial to be patient and review the instructions carefully step by step to identify the type and measurement of the material called for. Using the wrong material, as I have in some cases, comes back to bite you later. The differences can be slight (a mm here or there...). I'm doing a lot of searching to find the called for material, and if I can't find it will have to figure out an alternate way to identify suitable replacement wood or another way forward entirely.

    Lower deck canons installed. Resuming finishing and correcting some areas in need.

    I decided to start adding the lower deck cannons before continuing with the deck finishing efforts.

    Henrik - Glad to hear you are well on your way to a sound and healthy recovery. Your Aggie is a beautiful ship and I’m sure you will be back at it when the time is right. Take care my friend:)
  25. Rob S
    She’s a beaut mate! Very nicely done and a joy to watch!

    The skid beam pillars are also shown in McKay’s ‘The 100-Gun Ship Victory’, page 38. Rails are depicted on page 40, but the rail material is not specified.
  27. Rob S
    Thanks Allan. The skid beam pillars are shown in Longridge’s book ‘The Anatomy of Nelson’s Ships’, Plan #1. See attached. I’ll look at the railings. In either case, they both were included with the kit and shown in the instructions.
  28. Rob S
    Railings coming along. My dexterity could use some improvement!
  29. Rob S
    Running the railing….
  30. Rob S
    Installing the ropes between the quarterdeck railing. Challenge is keeping the rope taut as I work the knots. Here was the process for the first rope. I’ll look in the rigging section for tips on doing this correctly. Other than that, perhaps YouTube may have some tutorials I can watch.
  31. Rob S
    Thank’s for your kind offer Gregory. The balusters match up pretty well per the drawings with the mods shown. I just wanted to ensure I wouldn’t need them later. These 4 should do:)

    Looking nice Grandpa Phil!
  33. Rob S
    Looking for some help here folks. I’m starting the belfry buildup and not certain if I should be using the shown columns. It’s not clear in the Mamoli directions shown. I don’t want to use these in the belfry only to find out the pieces are required somewhere else in the build. It appears they would need to be modified as shown. Appreciate any thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance!

    More finishing work. A small hand held/powered drill was very helpful in making the holes.
  35. Rob S
    Congrats on completing a beauty! Well done sir!

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.
