    This is the same size as your Lion? Is that not 5 feet long? That's a lot of oars

    thanks the davits are 3 pieces of wood laminated together using a curved pattern of small nails as a template all 10 of them
  3. rookie
    Made some progress recently i decided to attach the boat davits, etc so I can set up the chains in correct spots i have been perusing photos of Morgan since Latina drawings are really not well researched as far as I can tell going to put as much detail on hull before copper since I am worried about damaging copper while adding all the attachments to outer hull I also added chain to bow sprit and some other blocks at bow

    Valeriy I just started looking through this build log. Absolutely stunning work! The metal working skills are amazing. It must be satisfying to know people will be enjoying looking at these models decades from now.

    Most of the images say "no photo description available" although some pictures in the text seem to be OK Like the subject on this one - forgot Canada had aircraft carrier in the distant past

    Looks great! If it does not work out, you may have a future as a hand-model

    Hi Tom I missed the 1/96 part that is pretty small Colin
  8. rookie
    Yes the helm is awkward I ended up buying a brass wheel from UK that had to be assembled The AL Kit has a completely different helm attached to deck like 'normal' helm

    Hi Azzoun here is part of box top got this decades ago
  10. rookie
    Minor progress report on storm shelter Also started the skylight
  11. rookie
    Thanks Tom I had done the stern lettering on an inkjet printer and the black background comes out pale (almost purple) Perhaps I will try it again and crank up the dark setting (I think that is possible) Ian, I am not sure about letter size. On this scale the letters are tiny I have poked around a bit on Google
  12. rookie
    Looks great! May I ask how you did the lettering? It looks impossible to paint; I was looking around for letters or somewhere to do a label
  13. rookie
    that is some high-end Meccano....
  14. rookie
    This is Canada Everything is more expensive.... That is how Canadians like it, apparently 🙄
  15. rookie
    very cool great to see the old battleship again !! does it still float ? 😬
  16. rookie
    Great work on windlass is that copper wire? soldered? I am going to be doing mine soon.... hope it looks close to that good
  17. rookie
    This is heavy-duty engineering talk! my head is spinning
  18. rookie
    Latest status I put davits on one boat station to see how they look also started on the boat platform
  19. rookie
    I posted plans of Artesania Latina Charles Morgan on my build log "rookie" Charles Morgan
  20. rookie
    A comment on the copper. Looks great! I had thought copper would not be green in the salt water; only when exposed to air
  21. rookie
    I clear-coated the deck so I can put gray wash on it without it soaking in Have been experimenting on practice deck sections I made to try it will see how it goes
  22. rookie
    Great job on the deck. My Artesania LAtina CWM had strips too wide for deck planks. I am thinking of making the deck gray-ish - not sure yet i had the same where I decided to finally do the tryworks after stalling for a long time - currently have not started skylight yet - stalling... Keep up the good work!
  23. rookie
    doesa nyone know the size of copper plates on the Morgan?
  24. rookie
    thanks i kept avoiding it as I was not sure about brick mortar and the "copper" the heavy artist sketch/paint paper works well with paint and it wont wrinkle as much as normal paper
  25. rookie
    Oops here is photo of current state

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.
