    As a survey vessel, the Beagle carried more anchors than a normal ship of this size (see Anatomy of the ship). The additional anchors were just stowed there. This time it is no error form occre

    You are correct, these are some odd choices of paint for the Beagle. During my own Beagle-build I ordered more and more paints and stains to satisfy my taste of how it should look. If I were you, I would not adhere too much to the Occre paints and do whatever you like the most for your model. There is great inspiration here in the forum for different paint choices.

    Would it be possible to get the handbook as a pdf file? The shipping to switzerland is 3 times the cost of the book...
  27. DonSangria
    Interesting research! It is refreshing to see the customs of other, lesser known navies.
  28. DonSangria
    Looking forward to this. You are a major inspiration to me and I'm sure to many others as well. So thank you for sharing your build with us!
  29. DonSangria
    Thank you for sharing! Refreshing to see something different. Good looking model.

    I think the neat coils on deck were only in times of inspection. When the guns were used, there were no coils. I think the rope was layed on the deck so it could run free or be grabed easily. When the guns were stowed away, the ropes were so as well.
  31. DonSangria
    I'm in the middle of the second planking on my Sphinx build. I hope mine will look as good as yours!
  32. DonSangria
    I really like the rigging of the tiller/wheel. Is it possible to rigg it as a functioning mechanism? She really looks very pretty!
  33. DonSangria
    I think you identified correctly. Maybe the rubbing strakes are meant to be cut from a plank from pile a? also, how long are the planks in pile c? If you have 8 and they are 400mm, so you would end up with 16 of 200mm length.
  34. DonSangria
    You can measure the main yard off the plans, that should give the widest point, more or less. If that is too wide for your shelf, you could brace the yards around as I did on my Beagle (See signature)
  35. DonSangria
    I don't know how 'wet' these ships sailed. But the doors could also cover from spray and water which was coming over the bow or the sides. Although in heavy weather, the stove would certanly be off. Just brainstorming here

    I did this with my beagle (see link in my signature)

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.
