    Continued painting the hull. Went through the use of masking tape relatively unscathed: the edges of the black area came out quite neat with only minor spill out, mainly due to using paint with too much thinner. Painted the rudder accordingly. Finished the boom with the thin 1x3mm beech plank on top of it.

    I've made the boom. Started painting the hull. I decided to stick with the colour scheme from the box image.

    This is actual recent work from a couple of days ago...I managed to sand the mast into a sorta conical shape...the wood it's so hard..it took me a good 4 hours even using a cutter! Finished the fittings inside the boat. Sanded one of the paddle out of the wooden log. Made rudder and tiller. I've realised that I've put the rudder a bit too low but I won't reposition it... I've already nailed the hinges... lesson learned for the next model

    Fixed the issue...the problem was that I copied and pasted the image directly from the browser...it seemed to have worked but clearly it didn't! Here I just started to cover the boat's sides with the tough tanganyika planks cut in 4 segments to make it easier to shape them by sanding. Also I completed the deck cover.

    Thanks John! Small world, I've spent quite some time Down Under before moving to the UK!

    I began this project in 2017 and it's been progressing very slowly! I found some of the pictures I took along the way. Here I was completing the hull. The "sloup coquiller" was a typical Oyster Boat of the area of Brest in the Department of Finisterre in Brittany, being used for catching shell-fish. The model is based on pictures from 1912 onward.

    Hello, my name is Michele, I live in the rainy North West of the UK. I've always had an interest in models, mainly aircrafts. In 2017 I bought my first boat, the Sloup from Corel and I loved it! It's been a very slow project, with lots of breaks in between. Recently I've managed to progress a bit faster than usual and by searching suggestions and advice on how to build it it's how I came across modelshipworld! I'm looking forward to finally complete this model and to move to next one!

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.
