Michael, I had something along the same line: Copy/mark the pattern of the portholes on paper. Use that as a template to mark them on the hull with a needle or awl. You could then make a 'dent' in the hull with a drill bit (if that small is available) or increase the size using an awl with a short wide point. Finally fill the holes with a dark stain/paint ...

Auch!!! Mark, Sorry to hear about your accident. One question, as this or something like this happend to me (although, without so much damage), did you feed the wood faster that last run? I noticed that if the bit makes high revolutions and you feed very slow, it will work, but the other way around ... it will certainly not. Furthermore, a cross table would be a nice investment for these parts ... However, I do prefer Russ' way.

Even for a try out they look stunning, i.e. the hand railing. I was thinking about cutting slivers of a brass tubing or tranches from a dowel for the portholes ... On the Sea Witch I'm building I used walnut which I cut at 2mm to handle and sanded it back to 0.5mm so I still have a 'hight' difference.

Jason, You could photoetch the letters yourself. On the other hand, I like the look of it the way you have done it now.

I don't know how I missed this build of the Emma C., and a very instructive log to! She looks very prommissing Time passes quickly, it's a pitty model boat building can't get in the way of life sometimes! On the other hand, it keeps it special ... -

John, She doesn't feel like a real King, she is a real King (maybe more a Queen). Those stacks sure make a difference

Russ, I remember this one. I enloyed the log tremendously. Looking forward to the 'development'. It's good to see her back coming a live.

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.
