    More than 6 months later still no progress, very disappointed that I've not had chance or the time. All the while my collection of kits grows. I'm going to force myself to get back onto this build in the coming weeks.

    Loving this build so far. You have done some great work, and I respect that you do what you want and you are realistic about what you can and want to achieve.

    I can't believe its been nearly a year, I'm itching to get back into this. Loads been going on. Kitchen renovations are nearly done. Just putting natural slate slabs down for the floor, absolute nightmare to cut with the angle grinder. We have had covid in the house so it's slowed everything down a bit. I have increased my kit stash considerably, certain kits have become hard to find and very expensive. I will be back on this build in the next couple of weeks.

    Not given up on this, just been decorating my workshop, which is my kitchen. Build is on hold, but I have a new kitchen nearly.

    Started working on the stays, it's been tough last couple of weeks to get motivated on this build. Spent a lot of time just working out processes.
  25. bosco72
    Stunning build, you must be very proud. Great build log too, thank you for sharing, I too have learned a lot from it and taken a lot of inspiration from this. So thank you again. Can't wait for your next build.

    The both look good, but the constitution is another level from an visual preference. I've been after the Revell uss constitution 1/96 or the uss united states 1/96, for quite some time.
  28. bosco72
    I'm not a fan of putting sails on, purely because the supplied ones are never very good and also its my asthetic preference, but your sails look fantastic so far.

    Still working out how to rig the deadeyes with a level of confidence and that is comfortably repeatable. Happy so far. Also reset the bottom deadeyes to match the orientation of the rigging and chainplates.
  30. bosco72
    Slight colour change which is not very visable, but it makes a big difference. Also added first deadeye.
  31. bosco72
    Still at it. Been busy working on staining the deadeyes, working on what to use for strops and the how to fix them in place ready to be rigged to its partner. Also been waiting for more deadeyes ordered and some dark natural beeswax.

    Looking great. Also those cases look very nice too.
  33. bosco72
    Looks great, the extra/added details. Loving this build.
  34. bosco72
    Deadeyes arrived. The 3mm ones are in kit format and incomplete so will have to wait a little longer.
  35. bosco72
    It looks great.

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.
