And demolished ...and started again-sad. But now i know...ALWYS that it should be like this. 7pieces were allready painted that i also demolished... At least got the 10 right when redoing them Got info from Thunder also that kit is lacking pieces (hooks, blocks etc) for gunports tackle. So inguess i need to order extra-just wasnt planning to so any investments as wnough has been invested and was planning to finally finish one kit. Lets see, i guess i will think of some solution.

I see more info missing from kits drawings. It should be 4 eyelets per gunport not 2. Thank you very much Thunder! Its very helpful. Vahur

Superb work you are doing with this ship! Also very fast - how many hours you have roughly spent on it - you work on it most of the evenings?

I guss i hve too much in my mind..... So spent hours on sanding and glueing cannon carriages. Apparently i got it all wrong.... it should be more narrow at front not back... Only one correct is sample i did at start. good i sat down after glueing and was looking books how to make the tackle for cannins and noticed something was off... Also it seems that kit does not provide enough correct parts to do the tackle correctly. I have a strong feeling some other parts are in kit that dont belong there for some reason....

Hi Thunder Im doing the cannons and found out there isnt any instructions how to tackle them. Luckily i have good books for that. But heres my question-as there arent any instructions are there enough blocks and hooks in kit? I counted 25 hooks in kit but only for cannons we would need 4x18..... Dis you tackle it directly to the eyelets on gunport openings eyelets and same with cannon itself? Vahur

Time for small uodate. Varnished the hull and deck. Really happy with result, specially deck as it gives that slight wet look i was after. Used Admiralty matt varnish. Clued cleats. Have interesting problem-kit has more cleats i can find on drawings.... Anyone with some problem? Not happy with CC rooes so i have to order new ones or lend it from other kits...not sure yet. I have feeling that i must see and feel new rope and not buy it just online. Will try to find Güntteann thread here. Also as slow pace i do the cannons-damn they are time consuming. Woodworking i close to an end with yards and cannons left. Then its off to rigging...

Those look really nice! Just a thought-maybe eyelets black next time. Left them like you on first build. Black gives nice contrast and would be more areirate probably.

I learned it the hard way but at least theres always something to learn Luckily i have Proxxon mini lahtnenso new one shouldnt take more than 10min.

Hi, Just looked at your Victory build. Really nice! Also your suggestion is simple and work really well. have to try it when i get home. Usually when we have problems we intend to search for complicated solutions where in reality the solution might be just a simple knot, twist and knot.... Keep and eye on me, maybe you have other suggestions also Vahur

Im not alone with the frustriation and that a good feeling . Reagarding rigging i have started to "summarize" all blocks info etc on to one drawing and also adding info from your build pluss from books to get it at least working. Biggest issue i have is that there is little info about block and cleats on masts. Some info is complitely missing (cleats on masts for example). Vahur

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.
