    Morning Greg,Hennie and Murphy and all of you who give me likes....... @ Greg, Thanks !!!!!!! @ Hennie, I'm working and I still find the time to open a build log So that's no excuse Next, you are right about the flintlocks. It's so tiny and fragile that it's almost a shame to put that on the cannon....... You don't see it and you bump it off ,almost when you only looking at it !!!!! When I have to glue metal on metal I use Bison kitt. 0ne second glue. They are in those bottles shaped in a pyramid vorm. You cab by it in any supermarket to pharmacy. When I want my brass black, I just paint it with Admirality paint , dull black ! A few layers and it works perfect. Otherwise I can not help you. @ Murphy, You are building the RW.... Next one the Aggy ??? And a build log is not boring ! Everyone shows his or hers skills in it and tips and trucs that we can all use........ So be my friend and opens a build log .....please `??????

    Hi Hennie, Thank you ! About your question....those are flintlocks. If I'm correct ( or somebody will give us the right direction ) these are for firing the gun. They has to go at the end,on the top, of the cannon. I understand that you also build the Aggy ? If so, open a build log and let us see what you are doing. If you have any questions.....just ask !!

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.
