    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.

    I'm in the middle of the second planking on my Sphinx build. I hope mine will look as good as yours!
  24. 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!
  25. DonSangria started following HMS Enterprise by Patrick Haw - CAF - 1:48 , Some silkspan tips , Santisima Trinidad by RossR - OcCre - 1:90 - Cross-Section and 3 others

    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.
  27. 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)

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

    I think they helped me with the positioning of the parts as a reference point.
  31. DonSangria started following Sloop Speedwell 1752 by Freebird (Rick) - Syren Ship Model Company - 1:32 Scale - POF and HMS Sphinx 1775 by brunnels - Vanguard Models - 1:64 scale

    Any progress on your Coureur?
  33. DonSangria
    Apperantly you embark on the same journey as me, from the Beagle (first Kit) to the Sphinx. I have the first planking almost finished. I guess you build faster than me, so I will follow along. Nice start and enjoy!
  34. DonSangria
    The boats look really nice! Great work!
  35. DonSangria
    Thank you very much for this comparison! Really impressive!
  36. DonSangria
    Looking good! Nice work!

    I find the narrow planks an interesting idea. In my limited experiance the wood of which the planks are made of play a great part to how easily they can be shaped. The first layer of my Beagle from Occre was of 5x2mm rather splintering planks and rather difficult. I find the 5x1mm planks of my current build (Sphinx from Vanguard) much easier to shape and bend. So the quality of the planks matter.

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.
