    I have finished drilling all holes for eyelets. Painted brass rudder holders black. I have also made a custom rudder part based on some other build logs. Custom one looks way way better.

    Hull was painted white. Base board was sanded and repainted in black I will eye into buying / making small drill press. It is very hard to manually drill straight holes with very high accuracy:

    I have drilled holes for M4 screws in the keel and in the base board. I have also sanded the base board. Will paint it the second time. One reason would be to try to get a nicer finish, another reason would be because I drilled the second hole in the wrong place 😆 to fix that I have filled the hole with a wood dowel, added some wood putty.

    I have drilled some holes on the deck and bulwarks. Scanned plans has really helped to mark the precise location of the holes with awl. Also I have painted some buckets. I think I will be staining these later to tone it down.

    Add some horizontal planks on the deck towards the stern. It will mask nicely a slightly chopped deck planks line where it meets the vertical surface painted red.
  16. Lapinas
    Added some gold

    Had a little bit of time, so I have finished painting canon carriages. I also did some paint touch ups with brush on the ship itself to make it perfect
  18. Lapinas
    I have finally found a color that I like for painting bulwarks it is revell aqua color 37. Paint job still requires some finishing touches, but it turned out extremely well! Really happy with it.
  19. Lapinas
    Still trying to decide If I want to keep it that way 😅

    In the meantime I have airbrushed some small parts in black. Unfortunately I have some difficulties painting MDF in black. For some reason it is very hard for me to get the finish I desire with this mdf base plate. I will try sanding it and painting again, maybe will try some wood putty too. Just very hard to get even finish with it.

    I have prepared ship for bulwarks painting… but after testing the red that I have bought it turns out it is way too bright. I have ordered a new more suitable (hopefully) Revel aqua color 37 reddish brown. If this will not look good enough I will be mixing my own.

    Prepared my spray “booth” and started spraying. Revel aqual color looks really great on wood when sprayed through the airbrush. Wood texture remains very visible and no “plastic” effect. Also I love these black details on the ship!
  24. Lapinas
    Masking this ship was a true challenge hopefully everything will turn out alright!
  25. Lapinas
    And prepared masts for painting
  26. Lapinas
    Added nails to rudder

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.
