    That looks really good Matthias!

    Purchased separately. I don't remember what is the correct size. I'll check when I get home.

    I asked this a while ago. Per Chuck, "The cannon are in fact the 1 15/16 resin for the gun deck. 1 9/16 for the upper decks."

    Neither did dropping it a couple of times do much for me! Looking forward to this build!

    Now the real fun starts! She's looking really good!

    Very nice work B.E. It was fun following along!

    Hi Glenn, Glad to hear you are safe and hopefully things get back to normal sooner than later. It's always amazed me how many tools we get out for some of the smaller projects!

    Thanks for the kind words Glenn, Tim, Glenn, Bob and Bob! The speed seems faster than it is as I've built various parts over a longer period of time as other portions of the build were drying etc. Then I installed them at the appropriate time. Also it shows what a good job Chris did designing this model!

    Hi All, The cannon breech ropes have been added and the cannon glued in place along with the shot racks. The quarter deck rail has also been added. The aft deck rails are three pieces glued together to create the rail. Here you can see the timberheads in place and painted. Next up is adding the deadeyes and then on to the masts and yards.

    You're off to a great start! I think you will be just fine and should be real comfortable.
  11. Rustyj
    That is going to look great. Very nice.
  12. Rustyj
    Very nice! It look like a lot of fun.

    I scratch built one years ago and this is very inviting. Hmmmm.

    Thanks Glenn and B.E.. Thank you. It is Admiralty Paints wood (walnut) brown with some coats of dirty brown weathering power. Also thanks for all the likes and stopping by.

    Congratulations. You've done an outstanding job Tim. She's something to be proud of!

    Very nice Glenn. You are making great progress.

    I've made the bell standard and bowsprit bits. To attach the bell I used some brass wire instead of the supplied pin. I also assembled the windlass and ladders. As with everything else the fit of the parts was great and did not require any "adjustments" on my part.

    Very nice work Bob. I too found the aft deck rails very delicate and had to repair a couple.

    Great work Ryland!

    Thanks Matt and Bob. Much appreciated. Towels are the newest modeling tool for me. LOL Glad to hear you got your shot. We're up to a total of 2,000+ 1st and 2nd shots a day. Thanks Glenn, looking forward to seeing how that goes.

    Looking really nice Bob.
  22. Rustyj
    Very well done Glenn!

    Hi All. Things have been a little chaotic at work the past three weeks as we've become a mass vaccination site. Time in the shop and on MSW have been curtailed. Anyways here's a bit more of where I'm at. I've painted the gun ports and I highly suggest you paint them prior to pinning the PE to the outboard side. Saves a bit of clean up if you are a sloppy painter like me. Mast coats were added with the edges rounded just a bit. Just something I like the way it looks. The gallows, main mast bitts and staghorn cleat beams were assembled and placed along with the hatch combings. I also assembled a cannon and rigged it with the breach rope. I attempted the tackle but even using 2mm blocks and the smallest hocks I could make there was no space between the blocks and I did not like the look. So I will just be adding the breach rope.
  24. Rustyj
    Great work and I appreciate the detailed explanation.

    Thank you Jean-Paul. The PE is nice and thick so that helps. Also there's around four coats of primer then four coats of the final color. That gives it even more depth.

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.
