    Been a while since my last post, work continues with the masts and deck details. Prototype deadeye and jig made. Still working details for the jig I'll post more photos when I start the mass production process and the prehistoric poop deck.

    Yes, I was going under the assumption he was working on round stock.

    Hi Julian, Looking at your first picture it looks like jaws are in backwards the taller part of the jaw should be towards the center of the chuck see the picture that GGibson posted above. The jaws are taller towards the center of the chuck. Curt

    Added some more detail to the ship's boat. Waist details installed. Had to remake the supports for the ship's boat since I did not account for the width of the grating. The first gun and rigging is installed only 15 more to go. Kicking around the idea of mounting the port side guns in the stowed position.

    Finished the first ship's boat, still have to make the fine detail parts but the major construction is done. For the boat I used maple, cherry, walnut, and mahogany to replace the kit supplied ply. The first six supports for the walkway are in place. The supports to mount the boat are walnut and I still have to cut the uprights from cherry. Block making continues, these are the blocks to complete the gun tackle.

    The ships boat from the kit is nicely laser cut but all ply. Made great templates to cut all the parts though! The planking is cherry, and I cut the plywood frames away and replaced them with walnut strips. The decking, keel, stem and rudder are all walnut. Still have quite a few parts to fabricate.

    Completed the stern railing and work begins on the masts and ship’s boat.
  24. Cmm4000
    Oh, here is a shot of the inspiration. The PE part is from the kit. I messed with both wood and brass decided on brass in the end.
  25. Cmm4000
    Completed the bow davits and oiled all the wood. Attached the stern decoration (I haven't buffed the pins to match the decoration yet but they will blend better when I do). Next start the railing.
  26. Cmm4000
    Oh I forgot to mention the kit supplied parts for the lanterns soldered and blackened quite nicely happy with the results!

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.
