    Hello, I was a little busy at the weekend. Since the pins didn't have enough space where they should be according to the construction plan, I simply installed them where they fit. Nameplate and crane beam were installed. Then, unfortunately, I had to replace another zinc part. Firstly, zinc is ugly and secondly, the part is half as thin as it should be according to the plan. So I glued two strips of lime and a Sapelli together to make a plywood and carved it for a while. I don't use any electronic equipment to build my boats. Everything is made by hand, albeit sometimes laboriously. Best wishes across the pond Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

    Hallo ihr Lieben, ja Yves, das gute Stück wurde mit Antikwachs behandelt und poliert. Die Dose ist mindestens 30 Jahre alt und lag bei mir im Keller herum. Vorher wurde alles mit Schleifpapier der Körnung 1000 geschliffen, was ich bei fast jedem Bauteil mache. Der Rumpf besteht aus Sapelli-Holz, einer Art Mahagoni. Kommen wir nun zum Manko dieses Bausatzes, der vor allem in der Qualität der Materialien zu suchen ist. Ein Großteil davon besteht aus Sperrholz. Der Kiel und der Kranbalken beispielsweise sollen laut Beschreibung aus Walnussholz sein, sind aber nur aus Sperrholz und noch dazu nur gebeizt. Deshalb habe ich viele Teile aus Resten der Lady Nelson nachgebaut. Die Ankerwinde und viele Kleinteile, die in den Plänen ebenfalls aus Messing bestehen, sind in Wirklichkeit aus hässlichem Zinkguss gefertigt. Darüber hinaus sind die Baupläne ziemlich dürftig und landen genau dort, wo ich jetzt bin. Keine vernünftige Beschreibung der Takelage und Segel. Mein nächstes Schiff wird daher definitiv entweder von Victory oder Vanguard Models sein. Es muss auch ziemlich bald bestellt werden, damit ich so etwas vernünftig planen kann.

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.
