    Yeah you are right it does I was going to do that when I get round to start the planking I over bevelled my last model and had to stick some deck planks to fill it out a bit wanted to try and avoid that this time thanks for noticing it

    Hello all so Iv been working on snake today I have glued the deck on as well as pinned the gunport bulwarks into position and glued the walnut keel on the stern facia and stern counter have both been applied to the model. I am all set now to start the first planking one of my favourite parts of the build.

    This is where I am with it at the moment I have glued all the bulk heads to the keel I roughly bevelled them before glueing and have stuck mast allignment blocks in place want to wait for that to dry before I glue the stern counter frame in place .

    Hello again I have recently finished my first model hms Sherbourne which I was very pleased with the result it was ok for a first timer. I have now just started to build my second model HMS Snake I picked this model as it has multiple masts so much more rigging and it also has a copper hull so it interested me it also has rigged cannons and a bit more detail so should be a challenge. so I hope you all enjoy this one and any help and feed back will be appreciated no doubt I’ll be asking for advice along the way.
  23. Liam
    Yes I will be doing a log for the snake model looking forward to the Cooper work on it going to be a bit more challenging

    Hello all hope all is well been a while since I last posted A update I have been working on my Sherborne I am actually not to far from finishing it just doing the last few bits of rigging and touch up paint and name to be added. I have chosen my next kit decided to go with HMS snake just awaiting it to arrive
  30. Liam
    Thanks all for the help I get it now I will look into getting the relevant bits to do it 👍🏻

    This is my cannon
  32. Liam
    Thanks all for the reply I’m going to use 0.5 mm thread for it seems to look the best on the cannon itself I have another dilemma everything so far has gone to plan on the instructions till now lol 😂 while looking this up with the thread I have noticed a lot of people have used eyelets on there cannons to rig them to the hull but the plans show a 1 mm wire to be used with no loops of overhang Isit a mistake on the drawing where the wood is shows a straight wire which is what I have done but everywhere else seems to show eyelets but mine I got don’t fit the cannons ?
  33. Liam
    Hello all I got a question if anyone can answer for me please I’m about to rig the cannons to the hull but cant find anywhere what thread to use ? I thought the thick one but looks to thick for the cannons so want to be sure thanks
  34. Liam
    Hi all thought I’d post a little update I have been working out on the deck fittings and added a bit more paint to the model
  35. Liam
    Hi everyone been working on the model today managed to get all the planking finished and i done the deck planking as well I think it’s coming together nicely Not perfect but I think it looks good I think I will need to put a cannon together to see if they fit I see a couple of other logs where they needed altering

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.
