    I had a look at heroforge too for my figurehead, but thought the hand and feet were too big. But printed it looks good tbh, or did you fiddle with it?

    She looks great! 😍

    Good to see you back ☺️

    Great job Bill!! 😀

    Coppering done! Wasn't really sure how to capture this moment in a photo, but tried it anyway 😜 Rudder is done as well, but not attached yet. That and the horse shoe, fish tail and depth numbers is next, to really finish the below waterline. It all took a lot of time, but I'd do it again, I love the look and touch of it and the colour changing every day!
  28. wvdhee
    Stunning! Put me down for one 😍 It's a very Dutch thing to ask, but money wise will it be like Indy?
  29. wvdhee
    Absolutely gorgeous 😍

    Welkom!

    I did what ECK did, only a think layer of copper paint, no varnish or wop. And the plates stick super well, so well that I have to use ca gel or they stick too fast. More importantly, wishing you and your wife the very best!

    Copper continued Yes, it's very time consuming and certainly the waterline. It's actually never ending cause there's always a plate that can be done better. But starboard is done! (until I decide some plates need work ofc) The amount of plates provided by Chris is largely sufficient to correct many errors. I am thinking about adding a batten, but I actually wanted to avoid it, dunno yet. (being indecisive is horrible I know) I'll start with the other side tonight 😊

    It really looks amazing! 😍

    that's Vallejo paint on the wales right? I have their black, it's extremely matt.

    I'd say aft. I have read somewhere (I know that doesn't help you) that the heavier the shot, the more to the center the gun is placed. (not so much for stability but the distance the shots need to be carried if I recall correctly)

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.
