    I agree Dowmer. At 1:96 they are really fine pieces of work.

    Like Glenn, I'm a big fan of satin Wipe On Poly. The trick, as Glenn says, is to put on just enough, you don't want to form a surface layer, it should all be soaked into the wood. You then get a durable "oiled-wood" finish.

    Wow, that's looking really good. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the castles go onto the ends of the ship in practice

    That does seem like the only arrangement that would gel with the gear listed. Two separate halliard tackles seems odd, but maybe that provides the lifting power that the absent winch was supposed to provide?

    "Tony, I've seen your very informed comments on other people's builds, but haven't seen your own log. Am I missing something?" No, you're not missing anything Steven. I'm all talk and no action! 😀 I don't have a build under way right now, I'm running out the last few months to retirement and then I hope I'll have the headspace to do some serious model building. Although I have a lot of competing projects to deal with too - a half-written book on pearling luggers needs to be finished, for one. I do have plenty of modelling subjects lined up though. So watch this space!

    I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this build come together, and I am really impressed with the finished model. Add another wow to the tally.
  28. Tony Hunt
    Fast progress!
  29. Tony Hunt
    It looks just like the real one. Nice work.

    Sensationally good looking model, Chuck!
  31. Tony Hunt
    Nice idea - the hull is pretty much what I imagine the Ringle would have looked like.
  32. Tony Hunt
    You're good at it, too. ☺️

    Steven, your model building efforts provide such a fascinating and practical guided tour through the maritime archaeology of this period. I love it.

    The guys sitting on a suspended plank servicing the engine with the rotating prop about a metre from their heads have some very steady nerves.

    Succeeding admirably, I'd say!

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.
