    Hi no staining on the hull and deck, just WOP. I've only stained deadeyes to match the rest.

    Hey guys I made some progress today...
  22. westwood
    It was definitely one of the more difficult parts of the build. But you did a wonderful job with it, Glenn!
  23. westwood
    such a quick progress and beautiful as well
  24. westwood
    Thanks guys, I'm now finishing the channels, deadeyes and chainplates, strops and straps...
  25. westwood
    Thank you so much guys for all the comments and likes. And I agree that this part was hard, but somehow I managed to finish it. And now I just have to finish all the postponed parts...

    Fred, I am sorry that I do not have any pictures of the making of the entry steps. But the method was the same as for the fancy moldings. I'm slowly moving on here are some photos

    Beautiful work Ben. I like it a lot also like this when you left a lot of parts without red paint.

    Thanks for the kind words and likes, guys. I can't wait to get all these little things in their place on qdeck and fcastle, but for now I'm keeping them safely stored away. It's both to keep the dust off while I work on the final chapter and to keep them from getting damaged. I'll add them at the very end. But something is there... I made the deadeyes (they will be added to the model at the end as well) The ladder - I have to paint the frieze and then glue the main channel. The other channels are already glued on, as well as the fenders and the chesstrees and the swivel stocks. Partly also the gangways. And now the main thing, I'm working on the last chapter. The headtimbers are in place. The headrails are ready but not glued yet. But I've finally permanently glued Catheads. And right now I'm currently preparing the Catheads support. And here is some photo

    and more

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I've updated my build log, but I'm still at work, even though there's a bit less time for building this summer. Still, I think I've made some progress and I'm getting close to the final chapter. But I won't say more, I'll let the progress photos do the talking.

    Hi Mike, thank you I cut all the hull and deck planking strips myself from cherry wood. For the finish I chose a Minwax Wipe on Poly.

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.
