    I painted the hull copper before plating. The plates stuck pretty well with the cyano after.

    Pent my time today making the t'gallant and topmast yards. I prefer using tape over the cardboard as all will be painted black and stick together better. Also added pin to help attaching later to the mast.
  22. ECK
    Well done ! It is a good way to clear the mind

    Spent the week making the masts. Almost done Now masking to airbrush the tops
  29. ECK
    Very nice. Only issue is given the wood nature of the pintles. I banged it and broke the rudder off resulting in my gluing the rudder back on and taping it until the end to prevent another bump and brake

    Also wishing her a speedy recovery ECK

    I replied to Blue Ensign about the issue. I sanded back the edge of the roof and lowered the angle a bit of bulwark a bit as the davits take up the whole width of the capping rail.
  32. ECK
    I actually sanded the roof edge back and also sanded down the bulwark down as the davits later take up the whole width of the capprail. See below
  33. ECK
    Thanks! They are included if you want to mount them on the stern. There also 2 stairs not mentioned in the instructions but in the kit to go from the deck to the rails where the battons for boarding on the side are. As they cover a cleat, will add them later once I tie off rigging to the cleat.
  34. ECK
    So the hull is pretty well done. Few things I will add at the end as I usually break anything sticking out while I do the masts/yards/rigging. May not get much work done this weekend being on call. Fitted the 18ft cutter to the stern davits.
  35. ECK
    Take heart. I had to sand down quite a bit . There is a small gap but not easily seen unless you look real close. The sides of the cabin needed quite a bit of sanding to fit. Initially looked a lot like yours. See below at the lines of the edges, so I chose option C

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.
