    Outstanding build Jim! The ship is great, but I’m into that wall of plaques! Thank you Chief! 👍😀

    I’m a bit late, but for 1/64, your cannons are insane! Outstanding! What did you make the canon “axle” strap from? I plan to rig my Rattlesnake cannons exactly as you have done. I’m marking this page for future reference! 👍😀

    Welcome to the forum! 👍 Would you like to be called East, or Ender or some other name? 😀

    Having had a real boat like this, have to ask. How do you keep the shaft log from getting water in it and destroying the wood? Is the hole (shaft log) large enough for no friction of the prop shaft in the wood?

    Hi Mike, welcome aboard! 👍😀
  16. Dave_E
    Yep, that’s the stuff. My next cannon will be the bare wire. Thanks! 👍😀

    Thanks Glenn! I looked over your Cheerful build. Your eyebolts and rings… are those blackened annealed or blackened brass, or an off grey/black paint? They just don’t stand out like “black” painted parts. I like them and wish to emulate your process.

    Ok, 1 down, 9 to go. 😄 The omission of the breeching ring when I thought I was done was a boo-boo. I think I’ll have it on the eye when I put it into the carriage! I also painted all the metal after it was installed. The blackened annealed wire actually looks anemic when next to a black painted piece. So all the metal on the ship is painted or all not. What do you all do/think?

    Happy Saturday to All, Well… I don’t think this is a difficult decision. 😆 This took me most of the day. I imagine the time will shorten as I get the rhythm going. This was a first, made all my own eyes and nails (just noticed I don’t have the breech rings on yet). Hats off to Syren for a nice carriage kit. The cannon is the MS Britannia, I’m happy with it. I know, missed the axle wheel retainers. At this scale, they’re going to stay missed. 😄 Went with natural wood wheels on this one just to see if I liked it, they might end up black. Thanks for dropping by! 👍

    NICE! Most excellent for your first “bottler”! 👍😀
  22. Dave_E
    OUTSTANDING Sir! Around 5 years to build… and it’s your first? I want to be around to see the perfection of your 2nd or 3rd venture! Well done! 👍😀
  23. Dave_E
    That’s what I’m looking at. Thanks Greg, just making sure that 4” was circumference! 👍😀 Ordered some scale rope from ROS.

    Hi All, I know it’s been said, but I’m looking at the original page of breeching and tackle lines for the different sizes of cannons and ships etc., where those inches for the diameter or the circumference (as it actually makes a huge difference). Sorry for my short memory. 🫤
  25. Dave_E
    Outstanding! I understand not wanting to turn it over to “flight test”. 👍😀

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.
