    Welcome to the forum Aeneus. I'm sure you will find it rewarding in many ways, there is much to learn on your journey, but we all learn from the experience. Jim

    Absolutely magnificent Mustafa. Jim

    Looking really sharp. Take your time on that 2nd planking strategy. no sense rushing. Jim
  24. Oldsalt1950
    Powder and shot were put in boxes and moved to the ready position before engagement. Once an enemy was sighted and the crew was called to battle stations, shot and powder were transferred from the ammo locker to the guns. You have to remember it took some time to actually start an engagement once an enemy was sighted back in the age of sail. Crews often had hours before actually firing a shot after an enemy sighting.

    Very Nice Kenneth. You can be real proud of her. Jim
  26. Oldsalt1950
    The Russians used 240mm cables, but electromagnets were also used to degausse ships. Jim
  27. Oldsalt1950
    Looks great. I have a question though. Wouldn't the binnacle be aft of the ships wheel so you can read the compass? As it is positioned it looks near impossible to do so. Either that or reverse the ships wheel mounting. Jim

    better to take the time off now and recover completely, than to go to work too soon and have a relapse. Jim
  29. Oldsalt1950
    Looks really good so far. That is a lot of hull to plank and sand. Jim
  30. Oldsalt1950
    Dave, you can use the knock out piece from the frame at that location for the template of the bulkhead/removeable panels. The tough part is deciding and making the windows, and the raised trim. Jim
  31. Oldsalt1950
    It has to be scratch built, and you'll find yourself taking many measurements to ensure it looks correct. It is a challenge to get it looking like the plans. Take your time with it and you'll do just fine. Jim
  32. Oldsalt1950
    Looks good ! Jim
  33. Oldsalt1950
    Looking good B.E.
  34. Oldsalt1950
    Looks real good from the photos B.E. A job well done Jim
  35. Oldsalt1950
    Really starting to look like a ship now. Once second planking starts things will slow down a bit and slow down even more at the rigging phase. She is looking really sharp Kevin. Jim

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.
