    Sweet!

    Hi Joe. I'll talk to you tomorrow about this.
  3. Rustyj
    I've been slowly making some progress on the starboard side. The channels have been placed in their positions. Before adding the straps, I heated the ends of a pair of small needle nose pliers over a candle and bent them as Chuck described. The straps were then added and pinned. I then put all of the deadeyes in the strops and placed them in the correct locations. The chainplates and stools were added and are ready for pinning them to the hull.

    That is beautifully done. I'm gonna have to break down and finally learn how to use my airbrush!

    Wonderful job Matthias!

    That is a fantastic planking job Glenn! Also remember that you need patience!

    Very nice and creative work!

    Outstanding work Derek. She is one to be very proud of! After seeing this I may have to go back and add anchor buoys. Thanks!

    Thank you Mike. Yes they were fun to do. Hi Glenn, Yes it is very enjoyable, though it means I'm now much closed to the end than the beginning. Thanks Chuck. They are well designed and went through without any issues. Thanks all for the likes too!

    Some progress has been made though most of it is preparation work. I did put the hinge pins on the remaining gunport lids and installed them. I then worked on the channels, sanding the char and gluing the layers as Chuck described. I too used the Scotch spray adhesive on them. After they were dry, I also put on a coat of wipe on poly. Next I assembled the 5mm deadeyes from Syren, sanded them and dyed them dark brown. Also here are the acrylic strops, chainplates and straps. I have to lightly sand them with 400 grit and then apply some weathering power. Once I assemble and finish the 6 mm deadeyes, I'll start placing the channels and deadeyes on the Winnie.

    Great to see you at the planking point Joe.
  12. Rustyj
    Welcome aboard Jim, it's never too late to start a great build like the Winnie. I like the others look forward to seeing your progress.

    That is some really beautiful work Mike!

    Thank you Mike. You've long been an inspiration! Yes JJ the gun carriages are done now I see there are a bunch of swivel guns yet to do! Hey Glenn send them along and I'll get them back to you in say .... a year or two.
  15. Rustyj
    That looks really good!

    Well, I've finished and placed the remaining eight 6 pounders on the quarter deck as well as the last eight 12 pounders on the gun deck. That completes chapter 10. Before I start chapter 11. I still have to go back and put on the gunport lids. I've been holding off on placing them until the last minute to lessen the chance of accidentally knocking them off. I can't wait any longer now.

    That is some fantastic work there Mike.
  18. Rustyj
    Very nice Ben. I agree sometimes you need to shift gears on builds that take years to complete.
  19. Rustyj
    Nice to see your progress. Chapter 7 is a lot of fun!
  20. Rustyj
    Very nice work Derek! Great pictures too.
  21. Rustyj
    Well laid out Frank! Happy New Year to you too!
  22. Rustyj
    Welcome back JJ. I agree the lamps are great. Also remember there are 8 more guns in chapter 10!
  23. Rustyj
    Nice work Glenn. That's the nice thing about model building. You can build it the way that makes you happy. You are the ship's captain after all!
  24. Rustyj
    Excellent work Glenn. Though pictures don't seem exciting placing the margin planks is a great start to the decking. Merry Christmas to you too!
  25. Rustyj
    Thanks JJ. Yes she's winding down to the final two chapters and really a happy/sad thought!

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.
