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.

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.

The horse shoe and fish plates are in place. I took the laser etched deck and placed it over my deck and marked off and drilled the holes where indicated. At the stem the three pieces laminated together left minor seams. I sanded these areas and applied a thinned down coat of wood filler. I sanded that down and painted it and affixed the bow "V" frames. I then started gluing on the upper and lower Cheek Rail, bow brackets and hawse bolsters. After installing the rails I noticed that the tip of the upper rail ends up above the par

Thanks Glenn. I did not soak it as I thought the resin wouldn't get warm enough. I instead clamped it to the stern and then warmed it with a hair dryer. There was a little spring back but not enough to effect the gluing. Thanks Bob. I purchased a very fine tipped paint brush just for the stern painting. Thank you Derek, I find the shorter pieces works better for me. The ends are flushed with a sanding stick and checked and adjusted as needed. For me the longer strips are the disadvantage. Thanks everyone for stopping by and all the likes

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.
