    Every time I see the ship and her carvings I'm struck by the sheer beauty of your work. I like to revisit your build log to remind me of the previous stages ... so much to see, and learn

    Those wales do make a lot of difference, Jose.

    Nice, smooth looking bowling lane, Nenad. Still a very virgin deck ... looking forward when the time comes you'll be filling that up!

    Druxey, She looks ... majestic ... floating towards the viewer ... one should sit back and enjoy the image as Christian wrote ...

    Enough technical support, Mike. I'll just follow the build, since it seems to be a promising ride ...

    Amalio, It looks magnificent. The inner mold/form looks as good as a model on itself. That must have taken some time to prepare. I will wait patiently for the moment you will slide the different sections from the mold, and put it back together agian!

    Yes, a giant rubber hand, and a fake hughe watch ... I knew it, I just knew it couldn't be that BIG!!! Wonderfull work again on that scale a yours ... You've put her back into shape my friend. Lovely job!! Cheers

    Marcus, First of all, great job. Don't put yourself down. I expect you are working with primer first. Sand it as smooth as possible, then take out the putty. The advantage of primer or paint, is you see the dips before, and after sand the hull. Smooth them out with putty. Another light sanding, and another layer of primer.Sand again ... Check again. if smooth to your liking, last layer of primer. Light sanding and you can finish it of with the colour of your dreams ... You'll make her shine, I know you will Cheers mate,

    Nice jig, Jack. No ice yachting, so you've got plenty of time to finish it ...

    Ah ... the sensitive side of the burly shipbuilder ... thoughtful and caring ... you must match each other perfectly ......

    Nils, That's an impressive row of skylights!

    Not necessarily true, though, carronades, when introduced, were first used on the quarterdeck, and in the bows. It depends largely on the time the ship was in active service.

    It doesn't seem very logical to put a long 12 in the bow of a cutter, considering timbers e.a. From wiki: Long nine[edit]One unique naval gun was the long nine. It was a proportionately longer-barrelled 9-pounder. It was typically mounted as a bow or stern chaser where it was not perpendicular to the keel, and this also allowed room to operate this longer weapon. In a chase situation, the gun's greater range came into play. However, the desire to reduce weight in the ends of the ship and the relative fragility of the bow and stern portions of the hull limited this role to a 9-pounder, rather than one which used a 12- or 24-pound shot. And: The 12-pounder long gun was an intermediary calibre piece of artillery mounted on warships of the Age of sail. They were used as main guns on the most typical frigates of the early 18th century, on the second deck of fourth-rate ships of the line, and on the upper decks or castles of 80-gun and 120-gun ships of the line. Naval 12-pounders were similar to 12-pound Army guns in the Gribeauval system: thecanon lourd de 12 Gribeauval, used as a siege weapon, and the canon de 12 Gribeauval, which was considered a heavy field artillerypiece.

    Jason, It would be strange to have them plated from fore to aft. With heavy weather, or going against a strong current, bump into debris, etc the plates may be ripped off or work as a break... fish scales run in the same direction ...

    You should not joke about that, for he might be even better than you!!!

    Nenad, It doesn't matter where he will practice, Serbia, US, UK, France ... as long as he continues to be challenged, and enjoys the work he does. P.s. Smart move not to let him study law
  20. cog
    That's painfull ... I suddenly increased the size of your build .... maybe that's why I couldn't get some details to fit on my own models You would sail Licorne if you were closer to the sea !?!?!? Happy birthday Mark
  21. cog
    It looks very promising indeed, Mark. 7.9 mm boxwood, you didn't even burn it to cinders with your aparatus. I can relate to the pain in your eyes, and the aspirin. We should be building at 1:1 after a certain age ... these smaller scales are an additional challenge in model building. I'm real curious as how it will look in the end. You build your Licorne as Remco states in his signature. Great work ...
  22. cog
    This is wonderful, a real treat ... don't let us stop you, Nenad. Already you can be very proud of your son!!! He has imagination/creativity
  23. cog
    JesseLee, Sinc your gunports aren't square you could increase the hight by 1 - 2 mm ... they would b touching the rail. Another additional option is to take some weight from the upper and lower parts of the slides aswell, make them thinner concerning your other question. Something between mat and brilliant (we call it satin) the gloss would take it to far Cheers mate

    Masterfull, Glenn, what;s the measurement unit of that ruler again ... Gawd that's watchmakers scale for a plate and doorknob ... had to look twice to believe it!! Cheers
  25. cog
    Well done, Patrick. Repairs are difficult. Often you can't get the result back you had initially, you did masterful, however. Cheers

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.
