Work of the day. Lower mast sections done. The only difference between the fore and main masts is the lower section is a bit longer. The topmast and topgallants are the same length. -

The instructions show the old gun carriage style. But Chris now includes the newer version of them where you half assemble then place the gun and then complete. You can see the new pieces Various hatches in, pumps installed -

Deadeyes in. Unfortunately had an accident where I dropped the model . There was damage to the prow. I was able to fix it (but had to sculp a few pieces. Because of the fracture lines I decided to paint the bow as in other ships to hide the repairs instead of leaving clear wood. -

Spent the afternoon, prepping and doing multiple paint/sanding repeat. Can see initial filler then progress over the afternoon. Was also able to fit the rudder in. -

Lined things up. I find the waterline device from Vanguard works the best of the ones I have tried. Very stable Now taped I haves covered the rest of the hull and painted the edge of the waterline with poly ( trick of one of members) to try and keep seepage to a minimum. Will likely apply again just before spraying. -

I'll be painting it. Unfortunately I do not have a nice laser level as in your build but will draw the waterline later today and then fill/sand and paint over the next couple of days. Must add you do nice work!

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.
