    It is looking great! Well done! Do you use whole length planks or a pattern with shorter planks along the hull?

    I'm really excited to see that you have chosen to leave the hull natural wood. I plan to do the same and hope my planking skills are up to it. I'm sure I will profit enormously from your log! Thanks a lot to share your experience with me/us!

    You can mark the waterline without a special waterline marker. Just fix the pencil on the rigth hight for example on a box or sanding block...

    Hi Derek, How is your Sphinx going?

    Maybe you could paint over the (sanded) red and give the cabin a color? Something white/gray/blue, as Blue Ensign did on his Indy?

    I finally found time to upload some pictures here:

    I know what you mean, but I don't know the answer. I think it depends on the relative positions of the block to the rail. Maybe also just the preference of the crew or the officers in charge? I would go with the left version of your drawing.

    I did my windows a dark blue and glued a little transparent foil on top to simulate glass. But it should not be too gloss at that scale... Mine was something between gloss and satin.

    She is nearly finished. I plan to upload a gallery with pictures, hopefully soon😊

    According to th AOTS-Book of the Beagle, it actually is for a flagstaff. It was probably only rigged in port and not when under sail.
  31. DonSangria
    I used temporary nails to hold the planks of the first layer of planking. After the glue dried, i removed the nails. The resulting hole is afterwards covered by the second planking. For me it was a good solution and easy to acomplish.

    I think the letters refer to another view of the mast. Figute A should be a depiction of the mast vrom the front and figure B the view of the mast on the indicated hight form above.

    So the 17th Kit will be a 'surprise'?
  34. DonSangria
    I am thinking about using a blue colered MDF-plate as a base. What are your thoughts about that? Does it look cheap?

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.
