Thank you Popeye, for your appreciative comments, slowly the hull with its Fitting out is moving towards completion. There still is some work with the rails at the bow, the hammock nettings, and afterwards I`ll start with the rigging (masts and bow sprit making) Nils Thanks for your word Omega, I`m glad to know that you are following and like this log...

Hi Nigel, thanks for dropping in, yes I use a clear acrylic lacuer spray, but spray smal amounts into a small plastic cap and then use a small paint brush for application to the brass parts Nils

Build log part 47 view to the interior sternplate supports fitted two more outboard steps at the top, now 7 steps per side fitted the focsile deck with all its "underneath", the catheads glued in place, removeable chimney of the galley oven mounted Overall deck view fitted one additional post to both the ballustrade side rails starboard anchor cable tied to the Messenger, portside cable put on the bit the QD stair, when used, fouls a bit with the capstan spars on the gun deck, but I take that in account, and whoever does`nt see it won`nt bother anyhow supports to the 4 foremast rigging posts Nils

Congrats Michael, to the first watering test. The displacement of 66 lbs will easily climb to 75 lbs in total I guess. When that mass is in Motion it will nock everything out of the way on her cruise. Are you planing to have all the ballast-weights at low Point inside the hull, or with external Ballast as well ? The cutter already Looks great on the lake as is... Nils

Further fitting out by the shipyard.... I think I should wait with mounting part permanently around the closer mast areas until the rigging beging done, asume I shall need operating space to mount the blocks an pulleys of the running rigging. I know and remember that well from the tallship builds stairs (ladders), entering platforms, and chain pumps chain pump discharge boxes with drainplugs, chain secured. The box discharge openings are closed with vertical slide panels gallows before the main mast chain pump crank Levers and bearing supports (all in dry fit) the hulls upper siderails in this area still Need finetuning. The step from QD to platform is about one footlength high I did`nt make up my mind yet if there will be a rudder-deckhousing fitted or not. At least the ruddershaft shall be shortend a bit. The tiller will be rigged as the Amati plan shows... Build log part 47 to follow... Nils

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.
