Now that I’ve update my own build, it’s nice to see your progress Chris. Keep up the solid work!

My apologies for being so far behind on my posts. I get so little time to work on the model that I forget to add my updates. I’ve made some pretty good progress as of late and have found myself getting prepped to make the first set of guns. I’ve decided to roll the barrels myself. A royal PITA, but a good learning experience.

The deck is secure. Multiple steps and layers, but the raised wood and drains add realism and worth the extra work.

Hello Mr. Burnham! Want to take the Capri out with me tomorrow? I’ll text you. Today was too hot, so I did some cycling early morning and some building mid day. She is on her base now.

Aero - looks like you are right across the Ohio River from me. We sail full scale on the Ohio every week from the Louisville Sailing Club just North of the new bridge. Let me know if you'd like to join!

Well, I haven't quit yet. 😁 It's Summer, and if I'm not cycling, sailing, or driving backroads with the top down, then I'm having a bad day. We also haven't gotten a lot of rain, and that is usually the only time that I will sit down and work on a model. But I have managed to get some stuff done over the past few weeks. Not a lot, but it is progress and I'll take it. As reported on the German card model site, the designers of this kit missed a bulkhead near the aft end. Knowing this, I made my own out of scrap and it worked out great. I'm also in the middle of the prop shaft assemblies, and as you can see I opted for aluminum tube instead of rolled paper for the shafts. I'll paint them hull red when it is complete. I'm learning a lot with this build, and also resisting my temptation to get frustrated when I make mistakes. It's all part of the process of learning how to build card models after spending 40 years of my life on wood and plastic kits!

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.
