    I like the flickering lights. Looks like lanterns. Very nice job.

    Thank you IMustBeCrazy. That I will do.

    Sorry not brass, it is copper. The hand drill keeps skating and I can not get it to bite. I have tried to punch it to give the drill a start. I don't have a vice, so I am holding in one hand against the table and using the other to try to drill. Got it to work on the wood.

    So while I am waiting on some tools I started the Swift. I got it off Ebay and it came with the original receipt. It was first purchased in 1983. It looks like they were die cut in 1983 versus laser cut. Laser Cut didn't exist then. Looks like everything is there. Only is issue is mold on the spacing blocks. That is not a problem. I do mold remediation for a living so this will not be an issue. I put the frames on.

    Running into a problem. Finished the rudder, tiller and horse. Sanded main mast down and drilled sheaves. Working on the brass collars. I need either a drill press, or dremel stand. I also need a desk vise. I have just not be able to drill through the brass to attach the deadeye. Going to work on another ship while I get the tools. Swift 1805.

    Did some painting. Working on the windlass.

    Cap rails installed, being sanded down to fit.

    Thwarts in.

    Pulling up a chair and getting some lessions in.

    Front deck and risers installed. I don't know how you guys do the deck, but the only way I seem to be able to do them is to do the templet at the gunnel and sand down until it fits. If I try to do the templet where I want the deck, I just screw it up.

    Absolutely outstanding!

    Rear platform installed. I really screwed this up. I did not get the templete right and ruined 2 attempts at the platform. Thank goodness I do not have the cap rail on yet. Hopefully I can save one of the bad rear platforms for the forward platform.

    Tigersteve, I did look at the planking tutorials. I am going to have to go though them several times to get them to make sense to me. Thank you for the heads up on them.
  37. Ghost029
    Removing interior frames. Planking turned out better than I thought after filling and sanding. Great learning experience. Instructions state to now sand interior frames and install cap rail. I would think that I want to install floor planks and seats before the cap rail. I will go back through the directions again.

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.
