Look good Allan and can only concur. A mate printed my 3D barrels for HMCSS Victoria using resin also, and they look good. Here is an example of a Blomefield pattern (c1847) - you can see the embossed cipher, dispart sight (forward) and Miller tangent sight abaft the breech: The gun barrel is about 1.5" long. cheers Pat (p.s. - the compressor (rear upper carriage transom) is also 3D resin printed - the bar part of the lever handle is only a few microns thick (less than 0.2 mm))

Hi Tim, I was not aware of any rules of thumb so I have been educated (thanks) - do you recall where you found this? I would also be interested if the rule also included some guidance on the size of the throat/centre bit in relation to the horns'. I am building a mid-19th century ship and would be grateful on any guidance you find/mentioned here. In the meantime, if I find anything I will post here. cheers Pat

Thanks for the b'day wishes Kevin and Carl, much appreciated. Officially a pensioner now, will have to take a visit to 'Chelsea' Unfortunately, while the weather was reasonable, the restrictions still in place prevented more than two visitors at a time, so it was a 'staggered' family occasion spread over the weekend - most enjoyable though. Now back to the shed/workshop. cheers Pat- 993 replies

That hull is starting to look really good Rob; it shows the benefits of all that research you have done, such as the stem profile etc. cheers Pat

Very nice work on both the oars and the faux burle Druxey. You say you got lucky but me thinks some experience coming through here Did you use a jig to replicate the blades etc? cheers Pat

Great job on the sails Steven, as Druxey points out, remarkable definition considering the weave of the material. Good luck with the woldings on the foremast; perhaps using a curved needle (sacking/suture or the like) might assist? cheers Pat

Thanks Ed, your comments are much valued and appreciated. Slowly getting there, I am surprised how long it is taking me to finalise the rigging plan cheers Pat- 993 replies

Thanks for looking in and kind comments Mark, Keith and Druxey; much appreciated. I am about to tackle the flag locker and a few remaining very minor fittings (Lead's man stanchions and belt, Fish davit etc.); I will then do a photo stack image of the full upperdeck to ensure all is in focus. cheers Pat- 993 replies

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.
