    Got impatient and sanded small cannon posts today. Also drilled holes in every post too. Also sanded some casting process marks from small canons and did a test fit

    My ship has a rudder! Metal parts (where applicable) will be painted black later.

    Made some furniture. Same advise as before - where possible it is best to replace laser cut parts with custom ones. Metal parts are not glued yet. Will be painting it black later.

    Glued in the “gun” posts. I have decided to make them out of 3x3mm strip. It is easier to cut it, than sand these laser cut parts no 29. Also that laser cut wood is prone to splitting. Gun posts still need some sanding though. Will wait until the next day when the glue is fully dried up.

    Added main and upper wales. Some rail fittings. Unfortunately I made a mistake and I have used 1x3mm walnut strip for upper wale, but you are supposed to use 1x2mm walnut strip for upper wale.

    Started snowing outside… meaning I can get back to my garage

    Got bored with hull sanding, so I have decided to do some work on deck fittings
  17. Lapinas
    Progress update
  18. Lapinas
    Made some holes.

    Little progress update. Some days this hobby is 99% sanding 😅
  20. Lapinas
    There was not enough deck planks in the kit, to cover whole deck with whole planks only. But not a big deal. I was able to reuse some left overs and do joins below the cannons
  21. Lapinas
    Same thing for me!
  22. Lapinas
    First batch of sanding I think I will do this process one or two times more and then I will be fully happy with the outcome I am not 100% sure yet, but it looks like no wood putty will be required on the hull.
  23. Lapinas
    First layer of planks - done. A lot of slow and careful sanding is next. Will add some wood putty as well where it is necessary
  24. Lapinas
    Few more! For every future builder - start using stealers earlier than I did. You will have an easier life 😆 I have realised that I need to use these a bit too late. It is good that it is just a first layer of planks, so I will not repeat the same mistake twice
  25. Lapinas
    1 more! I am getting nervous how I will be able to add the last planks 😆

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.
