Thanks Jim, I know what you mean but yes, mine you have to open and close ….. They are open and they stay that way! I have drilled a hole into the hull and put the wire in it, then a little knot and I pulled it back, Then a tiny hole into the lid and do the same thing. It works, only I'm gonna be crazy because a lot of hinges are coming loose…... It's almost impossible to glue them on to the lid. But i did the port side. There all there know…... Maybe someone else good do it better , but I'm happy with it! Tomorrow the final pictures of that because it's to dark at the moment. Robbyn, Yes finally pictures And tomorrow more! I'm happy that you not wait for nothing Now you can sleep peaceably again? [/url]

Thanks Wim, Andy ,John , Patrick and Grant, Thanks guy's @ Andy, I know it is much but can you handle it so many once at the time? If not please say so…... @ John, Gardening is all ready over We did the front garden and that is enough….. So maybe later a few more gun lids. @ Patrick, It looks impressive but with the cotton canon balls it looks like a lion without teeth…. @ Grant, You make me shy. We are hoping that you are not in a lot of pain. Take your time and when you are up to date, we see you back at the workshop. We are happy that we can see you some times at the forum...

The first row of gunport lids are on the ship The first two pictures shows you the rope that goes into the lid. Then the other pictures shows you the chainplates and gun port lids on the port side. Now I have to go to the lower row…... I don't think that's gonna be today because the garden is shouting for me…..

Hoi Derek, I think I have to do about 60 or something like that. I don't want to count them…. But it looks a lot different when they are on it.

Hi Kevin, I see that we are doing the same. I'm also working on the chainplates. I like your stile. I just drill a hole 2 mm inside with a drill 0.3 mm and push the nail a little bit inside. Then with a sledgehammer a few hits and it works

Thanks Augie,Keith and Jim, @ Augie, Thanks, I feel a lot better I thought I was making a mistake. But when I look at other builds, a lot have those things that the shrouds are close by the canons. @ Keith, I was asking that question myself. Those canons are not in business right now, a kind of dummy canons @ Jim, Now you know why she has cotton canon balls……. I think that the builders are not concerned about weight but just ….how many canons can I put on a ship before she sinks……..

Hi Augie, It's the only way I can get them this way. I have to see how it works when I put the shrouds on. The other 2 chainplates are also at the ship. Now I have to figure out how I can put the gunport lids on….. I have two without a rope. There is no place anymore for that.

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.
