    Good day!! It's-39 c - 40f. Yep another model day brrrrr!!!🥶. I did not get finished with my Mainrail and capping. Life and a hockey game got on the way. But today I will finish it. I pre cut all the 2x2 according to the plan, most went on ok but 25% needed to be re-done to fit as small discrepancy are showing up A twist here and there nothing serious . I made this little spacer and went to town..I feel that it going OK starting to take shape, Once the rails are done I will be starting to make the doors and ladders, got a pretty good ideal how I will make them. But I going to paint them differently from the plan, All right stay Warm my friend's Bob M.

    Hi, I can't seem to see the pictures either 😕. Also can't seem to see any mistakes as well, lol great model. As for space, put grin on your face , build it , start a raffle 5 bucks for one ticket, 3 for 10 bucks. Donate the money to MSW. I won't buy one because MSW would not stand for me getting a free Pegasus And winning a Fly. LOL 😆

    Well not much to post, started the bow, and the capping of the hand rail. It all looked good when finished, but today the port side handrail has lifted, I will just patch and paint that part,because it's to much to take it all apart. I will fix it lol. My worries are that MSW and the NRG will band me pretty soon as I can't seem to do things historical correct, LOL. I am finding a few mistakes in the plan, again the picture on the box , the plan it self and building instructions are all different. Big problems for someone who has to look at pictures to see how its done. As well there are parts missing, but I can make those, they are for the the anchor lines. Small parts, but they aren't there lol. Now I have to put those tiny little 1×1 on the sides . Talk soon take care everyone stay safe.

    Well I have made this stand for my Mayflower, and put it on. I made a few mistakes but it will do. That famous line comes to mind Next ship. Lol . Planking is finished, sealed and mounted. And I like it!!. The buffffet is my new model stand, I think I can get the three Columbus and the Mayflower, not sure if the Viking long boat will fit in there to but we will see lots of time before that. The green carpet will go and I will come up with something better. The Sea of Galalie boat will go behind the curtain, I will add a plexiglass front. As for the Pegasus, it will get its own case and replace our flowers here. Having way to much fun building this ship. And now all the fun stuff,doors ladders, little life boat,up until the rigging, seizing,and sails lol Well thats it for now, ps Chuck I tried, maybe next time 😆 Happy modeling everyone

    wow That looks really cool and great details to, I am just learning how to plank as well, my first model I used an iron to bend the planks then I got an electric plank bender it works really well for me. A little heat and they start to bend. That is some nice work.
  15. Knocklouder

    It's the kit lol
  18. Knocklouder
    This model is so much fun, on to the port side. It is coming along nicely I think, for anyone who makes this one I would block the first 3 bulkheads and the last 3 as well. I read that after I finished my planking that it helps keep its shape, next one lol. I really need to learn how to plank right , The Pegasus is coming up, and I want that one to be just right, not it will do stuff that I am making now lol This kit for those who can plank better than I can is amazing. You get to bend planks on just the bulkheads I much prefer two layers of planking. And I only started on the 12 th of November I am scaring my self 🙃 😅. See you when the other side is finished Bob M.

    Dave she looking really good, I like the way you Rattlesnake builders do things if I didn't buy so many models I would get this one lol. Buy an airbrush, join me down the rabbit hole lol
  21. Knocklouder
    Great Job!!!! You nailed it. I use a shop vac with a hepa filter and bag, works great for dust and particles, fumes not that great but for dust its great. I hook it up to everything.
  22. Knocklouder
    Yes the original six were the best, I always been a Blackhawks fan, but cheer for the Winnipeg Jets,mostly if they are not playing the Hawks. LOL. I have finished coating the bottom hull,and temporarily put it on the stand to see what it would look like. I like it. Now more planking, the top half of the hull has thinner strips, once those are on I will seal it all with shellac sealer. Then on to the bow,that looks like fun I can't wait.
  23. Knocklouder
    Welcome back, your ship is awesome, I have this one to do (someday). .Nice work I wil be looking at this log often , I am sure.
  24. Knocklouder
    LOL 😆 I am 3 for 3, this morning I shook my Mayflower and yep it rattles lol
  25. Knocklouder
    Well I got to where I wanted to be it's only primer on the bottom. I wanted to make a water line but the space between the whalers and the white was to narrow, and I did not think it was worth the effort. So I drew the bottom whaler line on and went in the middle.We will see how it lines up later lol I still have some filling to do but not that much . This really is a fun model but as I look up on the self the crew of the Pinta calls lol, How quickly they forget they had a mutiny , kick the builder out and hired a better one . So they can wait Lol . Well look at the time I am on the night shift lol Good night and Thanks for everyone's help and likes,

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.
