    Winter is slowly returning to this part of the world and I will slowly be returning back to my model ship work bench. This is where I left off and where I will be starting the new build season. I will keep modelshipworld in touch as the work progresses. All of your comments/inputs/advices are more than appreciated and welcomed.

    If you like the Fifie go to : The Boats That Built Britain - The Reaper Parts 1 & 2. Very interesting, informative & well done.

    Latests details.
  8. BigDan
    Yes it is.

    I find copycats flattering. Here are some of my latests details.

    On board with the last details mostly inspired by browsing the SCRATCH builders.

    A few winters ago, I stayed a few weeks in Bradenton Fla. Lots to see and visit in the area. Anna Maria Island in particular. A very nice baseball stadium, very good restaurants and bars.

    I made a "frame out of .5 mm wire and weaved the basket much like you would weave the real thing with .5 mm beige twine.

    Some final "dressing"

    Thank you for the "split". It's my firsts postings and I was a bit confused. I am slowly working it out. Thanks again. Denis

    Sorry for the intrusion that got you so upset. It was my first time posting something on MSW and I hadn't figured out how it all worked. Again I apologize, I am slowly getting the hang of it. Thank you to the administrator for sorting it out by "splitting" away my post from PJG's.

    I built the model a few years ago in 1985, visited the real thing in 1997 & in 2012. My daughter did the painting.

    I built the model differently than my usual procedure. At first I was very hesitant about the different types, colours and finishes to use on the boat. I was going for a "weathered" look as opposed to "nice & shiny". Then, the Covid-19 thing brought shopping for materials to a halte. So, I stated to build all the components separately, do the paint and then final assembly. Here are some of the steps.

    If you are OK with the HMS Bounty, you will be OK with this model.

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.
