    Hi Hardeeharhar yes I have been giving a lot of thought. This my second model too. I want to build with sweep ports open like yourself. I can’t fathom out why caldercraft pieced the sweep ports on other models but not granado? I am going to pierce the gun port pattern first. My rationale is that it will be easier to mark out and cut in the flat more accurately. I will also be following what route you have taken with the bulkhead panels as my painting skills leave a lot to be desired.

    Following your log with interest as I am about to start the Granado myself. I am looking at the sweep ports and thinking that cutting them into the gun port pattern before fitting it might be the best option. Did you consider this?

    I about at that stage where I about ready to start painting and varnishing. I habuilt a billing dragon and what to finish it with a varnished hull painted below the water line. I don’t intend to sail it so it is a static model only. Any suggestions please.

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.
