    Designed and routed the side plate.I have to stain and install it.
  2. Lucius Molchany
    Can you post a pic of the area in question?pre painting some of the planks is a wise move.
  3. Lucius Molchany
    Cool!Looking forward to seehow the mask job turned out!
  4. Lucius Molchany
    Yeah frisket may be tough to use on wood.. I use the blue 3M masking tape and it really leaves a clean line.
  5. Lucius Molchany
    Just be surevto test the technique before painting the model.
  6. Lucius Molchany
    Yes and cleaningvthe airbrush afterwards.

    One way to paint the bulwarks is to make apaper mask that follows the contours of the deck.I used this method on my Scientitic Sark and Model Shipways phantom and no paint or overspray was on the deck when the paper mask was removed.Just make it as a precise as you can to ensure a tight fit and do not lay down a wet coat near the deck mask.

    I decided to go with an asymmetrical look to my display base that I screwed to the keel.I am telling you what,I should have worked it out beforehand.It is a wonder that I did not damage the masts when I laid it on its side to drill the pilot holes and screw them into the keel!
  9. Lucius Molchany
    Looking great!Outstanding progress!
  10. Lucius Molchany
    Very cool!I recently built one and it is a great kit!
  11. Lucius Molchany
    Really liking how this is going together!Excellent work!
  12. Lucius Molchany
    Looking great and you are getting it done very fast indeed!

    Used a winged lion or grifffon for the figure head.
  14. Lucius Molchany
    I guess!I have never encountered doublings on a flag pole but I guess the naval architech must have deemed it necessary

    Plan illustration photo.
  16. Lucius Molchany
    Put on the spanker and the rear flag ploe.Wow it sure is heavy for a flag pole but that is what the plans show.
  17. Lucius Molchany
    Finishing up putting the spars and sails on the main mast Looking good
  18. Lucius Molchany
    Progress continues on putting on the ysrds and sails.I drill a tiny hole in thej mast abnd yard or spar to accept a tiny brad.the blocks and lines balance and hold it in the proper position.
  19. Lucius Molchany
    Progres continues.
  20. Lucius Molchany
    Put on the lower ywrd on the foremast.The blocks and lines support the yard structurally.
  21. Lucius Molchany
    Yes wooden ship mpdeling can be addictive and is so much more rewarding than a plastic model because of what the ship demands of you.
  22. Lucius Molchany
    I have never put cloth sails on a ship before so I decided to use the sails from AL Hermione.None of the sails would fit the lower boom so I took one of the jibs and furled it on the boom.Seemed to have worked fairly well.
  23. Lucius Molchany
    Well if they can build one for Johnny Depp they can build one for Russell Crowe.
  24. Lucius Molchany
    Man I sure wish that they would make sequel to Master and Commander.Russell said he would do it but the first film was not sucessful enough.
  25. Lucius Molchany
    Yes I can carefully darken them.

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.
