Nice build Dan, I’ve been tempted by Airfix’s new 1/48 Bulldog, watching this one with interest! 👍 -

Your skills are amazing Mike! I also love the subject matters you choose, not the usual Yamato, or the other popular subjects, but the unsung or even “quirky” vessels. I have been inspired and pulled the trigger on a 1:700 AJM kit of HMS Vindictive, that was going for a very good price on Ebay.

Evening all, I've been making steady progress with work on the masts, the Mizzen was largely done, so has just needed some blocks tying to it and a touch-up of the paintwork; the two sections are not permanently fixed so I can do the lower shrouds and stays easier. The bowsprit likewise is nearly done and has also had a refresh with paint and started the process of adding blocks etc. On the Foremast I had nearly done the lower mast, but I had not finished adding the mast hoops to go above and below the wooldings. These I made out of 0.7mm styrene rod, curled around a dowel and then heated to retain some of the curve. These just needed a sand to getting to a uniform depth after gluing, once done painting in brown and the addition of woolding rope to finish. The lower mast needs some blocks adding and the handrail on the platform. While doing that I have made a start on the fore topmast and fore topgallant mast. The last couple of pictures show the current state of affairs. Think I will keep moving from making sawdust and hopefully more mast sections and adding blocks to the finished parts to keep up momentum! Thanks for looking in. 👋

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.
