    Thanks for stopping by, Wayne and Bob! Well, the assembly of the anchor was quite easy. Next week I'll start with the ship's boats and the elm tree pumps.

    Hi all, today I've finished the anchor.

    Hi Mitsuaki, she looks awesome! I like all the modifications you did.

    Little by little she looks like a ship.

    Hi B.E. Yes, the assembly of the carronades was the hell with all those tiny etched parts. Fortunately Pickle have only six of them.

    Thank you all for your nice comments. I was very busy in my garden the last few weeks, so there was not much time for building. I just finished the guns, the capping rails and the ships name at the stern fascia. The sliding beds and carriages are painted red to hide the plywood. In one of the next steps I'll add the gun tackles. The 'PICKLE' text should be painted white but I think it looks better when it's painted yellow ochre.

    Hi Jeff, I can't wait to see your Pickle. You will have much fun building this little schooner.

    Hi all, the windlass is finished. The assembly was quite easy. In fact there were no problems at all. The kit provides a bunch of octagons to be assembled to the windlass barrel. The glued and sanded parts: A last test... ...and the finished windlass At last I would like to show you an overall view of the model with all the parts on deck. The parts are not glued yet.

    Hi Jason, the position of the knightheads is more realistc now. I like the modifications you did.

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.
