    Hi Lyle, welcome to the forum! 👍😀

    Thanks Dave. The reason I did not do the center window was because as mentioned it appears the real ship, according to the Admiralty drawings (after capture and subsequent renaming to Cormorant) didn’t have one. Dave, your paint scheme for the Britannia is exactly the colors I have chosen. Thanks for the painting link! 👍😀

    Nice work Ken! 👍😀

    Thanks for the resource! Good for lots of detail, not just color. 👍😀

    Looking good! That NHL rug brings back childhood memories from 1971 living in Sault Ste Marie watching Hockey Night in Canada every Saturday. Bruins, Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Blackhawks, Flyers, Redwings… what an era! 👍😀

    They do indeed! I have personally watched sailors at the marina hand waxing their J boats before weekly race day.

    Dave, Those cleats are incredible! You've given me hope that perhaps I may be able to use the Brittania cleats that came with the Rattlesnake. I love all your scratch built deck furniture! 👍😀

    Spent the last couple days tinkering with the stern. The Britannia piece did bend quite easy, now waiting for some blue paint. Left the window frames natural wood. The bright white just didn’t do it for me.

    Good on you dad! 👍😀

    Hi Ed, At the moment I am strictly a brush guy. I am considering investing the equipment, not so much for wooden ships, but my my plastic endeavors.

    Indeed Sir, many more excellent years! 🙏👍😀

    Now there’s something outside the model building box. 😆 You know If it works… go with it. 👍😀
  21. Dave_E
    NICE! Enjoying watching the build! 👍😀

    So... after all the great comments... if I wanted to be more authentic than not in my building of the Rattler... the "tallow" paint would be more correct than mat white for the hull? Below are some paint comparisons. The yellow ochre was just between brands.

    Looks pretty darn good close up I’d say. 👍😀

    Jim, I respect your decision, much as I disagree with it. If we were take this approach (that many here have done) and apply it to everything in life… Brother, we’d be living a very different life. I know a topic like this could go politically terminal in no time, don’t want that. We’ve beat this dead horse pretty good I think. Respectfully,

    I envy you “spray” guys. Nice setup! 👍😀

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.
