Many thanks for the kind comments! First, I rubbed all surfaces with a very old tack cloth made by Detro. I am not sure what is in this cloth, but it works very nicely - the package says it is wax and silicon free, but I can feel something almost oily in the cloth. Once everything rubbed and cleaned, I sprayed clear satin polyurethane by Minwax. This gives the results seen in the photos. -

I have somehow misplaced almost all of the remaining progress photos of this build. These are a few images showing close up views of certain details. The kit comes with brass fittings, many of which I replaced with styrene and painted black. This shows details of bowsprit. Closeup of Mast and gaff details. I did not use the flag provided in the kit and printed a replacement mirror image 15 star and 15 stripe flag on my inkjet printer with plain paper. Once printed, both sides were carefully aligned and glued with a very thin even coat of white

Moving forward with more in progress photos. The kit comes with shiny brass fittings, including the rudder hinges. I decided to scratch build replacements from wood with rivet heads from sewing pins and all painted black. The result is not movable and glued in place. The bowsprit in the kit and plans seems too short? I made a longer one that looked better and modified the bitts also. Many thanks for having a look - questions & comments always welcome. Cheers, Bill

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.
