    You are making great progress Glenn. You'll be rigging her in no time!

    Thank you PJG and all the likes Thanks Jim, The instructions have them gold so I stuck with that. I've also seen them the same color as the hull painting and black. I don't know what would be accurate on a real ship. Thanks Bob, The gold and white are rattle can spray paint. I'll have to get the brands when I get home but they are generic paints. The red and blue colors are brushed on. They are Admiralty Paint Red Ochre and French Blue.

    She's looking really good Glenn. I was just looking at the directions on page 54. In one of the pictures the gun ports look painted red. Just wanted to point that out incase you want to paint them first. As far as the guns go I'll try rigging them but will have to see how it looks.
  24. Rustyj
    Thank you Chris, Glenn, Jim, Glenn again, B.E., Jean-Paul and Bob. Also all the likes! Everything is designed and fits so well that good results are almost guaranteed.

    You're doing a great job Glenn!
  27. Rustyj
    She's looking great Glenn!

    Great work Bob. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

    Thanks Bob I've completed the the fancy PE on the bulwarks to the bow now. The figure head was primed and then painted gold. After it was dry I placed it on the stem. A little sanding was needed to get it to slide in place. Then I placed the remaining PE at the bow.

    Thanks Glenn, I'm trying to keep up with your fine work. Thanks Jim, The decoration is what attracted me to the DOK. Thanks DelF, This is some of the nicest PE. Thanks Glenn, I too was wondering and the cautious side of me had to use a dab of CA just in case but it seems to work just as advertised.

    I've started making the Duchess shine with some of her fancy window and port decorations. All were glued in place with a touch of CA glue. And here is the first of the photoetched decorations. Being the cautious type a tiny drop of CA was placed on the backside tacking them in place. Two coats of Future (Now Pledge Revive It) were applied and must say I'm happy with it so far.
  32. Rustyj
    Well done. She's looking great!
  33. Rustyj
    While various parts are drying I assembled the mid deck bulkhead. Everything fit perfectly.
  34. Rustyj
    Hi Bob. Looks real nice. I too painted as seen in the instructions not the plans. It's your ship so whatever is your paint scheme it's right.
  35. Rustyj
    She's coming along very nicely Glenn.

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.
