    These days I have made quite a bit of progress with the construction but I found a point where there is a rather serious error. The hole for the pump falls on one of the horizontal beams. I studied the entire previous process again to see if I have made a mistake somewhere but it seems that here it was probably not foreseen correctly by ARTESANIA. However, with a little care I will scrape the beams so that it is possible for the pump column to pass through.

    Thank you. It's difficult for me to answer since I don't have sufficient knowledge. Maybe another member who knows can give an answer.

    Thank you, I will keep that in mind.

    The first planking is complete. Because the AL Oak paint is quite glossy for my taste, I applied a coat of Mr Hobby flat clear. I think the nails from fishing line looks pretty good.

    I started the kit from Artesania Latina as it shows quite interesting and beyond what I have done so far. Because there are videos on the internet with the construction steps, what I will post on this blog will only be when I find something interesting or add something that is not included in the kit. For start, I decided to nail the boards to break up the monotony of the decks simulating the nails with fishing line. What a tiring and arduous task, but I finished it successfully. And as soon as I finished it, it occurred to me that I have 6 more.😱

    Thank you Bob, I'll keep this for my office, where I don't have much space, and I'll give her the HMS Victory cross section that I just started. The truth is that I like it too much to give it away for now!!! and so I have the excuse that something bigger scale is suitable for her office. 😏 Regards Ioannis

    Added some extra items and this is the result. I have to admit that I really enjoyed this little project. The materials were excellent, as were the instructions. kudos to Chris Watton for this kit.

    For today i solder and paint the anchors , the oars , paint and glue the wales and place the rubber etc. And a pose where the size of 11 centimeters long is best distinguished. The next tasks have to do with the placement of the anchor, oars, hooka and some other accessories such as ropes etc. I am also preparing a base using the base from MDF which was used in the beginning for the construction of the frames.

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.
