Thanks Vlad! This will be the last post for about two weeks. We leave tomorrow for a vacation in the San Diego area. I've added the eye bolts, spanshackles and chimney cover boards. With chapter 9 completed now I've started chapter 10. As I'm leaving very soon I figured I do the hatches instead of starting on the planking. I'll see you all in a couple of weeks. Behave while I'm away! 😂

I moved on to the fcastle rail and knightheads. The knight heads are laser cut but the tops needed to be shaped on all four sides. The laser cut rail needed to be sanded smooth and the edges softened. This is where I ran into another oops moment. I hooked the end of the rail snapping off the end two slots. I broke out some sheet stock and remade the first three slots. Why three you ask? This way the joint would be over the cathead and covered by the cat block. Just in case the seam was visible plus added strength when glued in place. The fun part of the cat block was it needed to be sanded to the curvature of the rail. Not difficult but I needed to go slow to make sure I didn't over sand! Once everything was test fitted it was painted and glued in place.

Well, I went back and rounded off the 1/32' X 1/32" strip to make the waterways. They were added as well as the breasthook. Next I assembled the catheads. Like the belfry take your time and they come out looking nice. I then cut out the notches for the catheads. They are placed but not glued. I'm trying to determine if the angle they are at is correct. The cathead sits flush on the margin plank but they look a little high to me. Hmmmmm.

Thanks Chuck, Your design and patience made it really fun! Thanks Glenn, Yes adding deck pieces really start making her look good. Thanks JJ, After doing the Confederacy in box I wanted a different look and I'm glad it came out nice. After you finish the Winnie you can do your next one in cherry! Thank you, Mike and Ben. Your kind words are always appreciated. Thanks for all the likes too! Oh by the way while working on the breasthook I noticed I completely forgot to put on the waterways so I'll be doing that next too! 🤪

Thank you, Vlad and Frank. Also, thanks for all the likes. I've spent a couple of days building the belfry and the belfry rail. Next, I'll fit the breasthook at the bow.

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.
