    Finished bridges for boom ropes on deck and learned how to seize a line . Quite a challenge in 1:100 scale . I will leave ship boats "project" for later and moving to masts, starting with Bowsprit.

    A little update to my slow going project. All deck items are painted and attached on model. Becouse deck is already varnished I used 5min epoxy glue + all parts are secured with pins. It was quite a chalenge to achieve correct position of holes on deck. Next stage are two on deck boats in 1:100 scale. I will scratch build them, but need to figure out how

    All deck "furniture" completed waiting for painting. For first time I tried wallnut stain, but it came too dark and need to redo the process. I will also add some scratch build deck items, as seen on original Bluenose photos.

    Bob, thanks for kind words and comments . I will try with sattin-matt varnish from CC which I just received. Currently I am working on deck furniture and fittings. I collect all metal parts and first primed them with Vallejo primer. It is not as good as Mr. Surfacer (Mr. Hobby - Gunze), but it could be painted on with brush with good results. Then I painted everything with Black color.

    Part 2. This is the stage where I am now. I painted hull with Caldercraft Admirality waterbased colors. On scrap wood I tried Matt Caldercraft varnish over black and red color, but I'm not happy with the result. Do you always varnish hull after paintig process to seal the paint, or I can leave as it is now?

    Hi All, lets begin as promissed in my introduction post. I started this build on May 2013 with few breakouts, due to other projects. As my first wooden ship build I decided to do it out of box. I finished the hull with only one layer of planking, becouse everything is painted and no natural wood is visible. If anyone wish to offer advice, please feel free to do so. It all helps and I would be very grateful.

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.
