    Not sure which railing you are referring to. The railing at the very rear is curved and only goes one way. I agree the instructions are lacking.

    Good news Joe. I have sent you an email about the Cheerful Wood package if you can do it.
  3. PRS
    Have the rear mast on now and rigged.

    This is fantastic news! I am going to buy the wood kit for the Cheerful this week and if I cannot cut the planks myself I sure will be putting in an order. Prices look great also.

    I see a covering iron there. You fly also?
  6. PRS
    Looking good!

    Decided to make a small carriage for 3 of the barrels and mounted them before going forward.

    Rigging the front boom.

    Turning the top mast piece with a drill and files: Broke first one as I got a little heavy handed. Lets try this again. Opps broke again! OK went and did a third and went very gentle. Third times a charm.

    So catching up here is where I am at with the build so far.

    Thanks Glenn. I have a large magnetic build board I use for my RC Aircraft builds.

    Cannons are painted up and rigging each one.
  13. PRS
    Man these cannons are small! I used a small piece it wire sheilding to attach the cannons to the bases.

    Deck planked and insides painted. ( I should have taken more pictures during these steps but wasn't sure I was going to do a log)

    Wasn't worried about the different colors of the planking as I am painting the waterline anyway. Used Tamiya tape and Badger Styrens white for this as I had it.
  16. PRS
    Second planking pictures and used the cutout I made for the gun port piece to help ben the planks.
  17. PRS
    Not going to bore you with all the planking steps be here is the completed firs planking. I am happy with it so far.
  18. PRS
    Ran into and issue and forgot to make the rabit line so did that and started planking.
  19. PRS
    While all that was drying I made some of the deck furniture. To glue the gratings I used a 50-50 mix of modge podge and water and brushed it on. This worked real good and since it was satin and this it did hold quite well.
  20. PRS
    Side pieces glued on and left to dry. This went really well except a small crack on the port side around the forward gun port at the tope but with the planking it should not be noticeable and straighten out.
  21. PRS
    For the gun ports pieces I used the scrap to trace out the curve of the deck and cut the curve in a scroll saw. Wetted and clamped the pieces of this and used my iron to get them to lay with the curve and left them overnight to set.
  22. PRS
    Attaching the false deck after making sure everything was perfectly square.
  23. PRS
    Printed up a small clamp to hold everything for working.
  24. PRS
    While the frame was drying overnight is did the same with the keel.
  25. PRS
    Here is the obligatory start and you will notice I used my magnetic build board to make sure I get everything straight.

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.
