    The gunwales are glued on, and now drying for 24 hours. I decided to bend the wales to shape (using steam from the kettle) and then dry fit and left it for a couple of hours. When I removed them for glueing they retained their shape perfectly and went back on nicely. I also spent some time doing so more fairing about the stern in order to get the wales reasonably flush with the transom.

    The prow and keel are installed - can't do anymore today as this needs to cure overnight.
  25. Paul White started following HM Armed Cutter Sherbourne 1763 by Nightdive - Vanguard Models - 1:64 - First Build , HM Armed Cutter Sherbourne 1763 by Peter S - Vanguard Models - 1:64 , His Britannic Majesty's Cutter Sherbourne 1763 by Paul White - Vanguard Models - 1:64 and 4 others

    Yes - these are very good:

    Fairing the hull.
  28. Paul White
    Thank you!

    Completed steps 13 to 18, finishing with installing the false deck (part 29). The only slight problem was pressing the false deck down on the frame - I managed to break one of the delicate parts at the edge - my fault / inexperience. I have glued it and holding it with a clamp and hope it will be OK, otherwise more remedial work will be required. This is a lovely kit.

    Little bit of progress today. I noticed from the instructions for other Vanguard models that the temporary stand is built very early in the process whereas, for some reason, in the Sherbourne instructions this does not happen until step 50. I thought it couldn't do much harm to bring this forward, as it would allow the hull to dry in a better position. The keel side-pieces (19 L & R) went in easily. The keel keys (part 22) were mostly fine, apart from one slot which was very tight and the MDF key kept breaking whilst pushing in. Fortunately there were 3 spares provided, and this was enough. Then the lower deck (part 23) went in well and has been glued. Now let everything dry.

    Thank you - we've got this!
  32. Paul White
    Thank you!

    I was ever so slightly scared of starting it - so I thought it best to do something tonight rather than put it away for 'later'. A nice easy 30 minutes cutting the bulkheads out of the MDF sheet, sanding them where indicated and dry fitting them to the keel. I now have a clear sense of the size. Everything fitted perfectly and inspires confidence for the next step.

    The Sherbourne has arrived and, as everyone else has said, the quality of the packaging, the instructions and the material looks first class. This is going to be my first 'proper' build, apart from the small launch also from Vanguard, and this is going to be my first build log. Wish me luck!
  35. Paul White
    Thank you!
  36. Paul White
    My Sherbourne is being delivered today or tomorrow, so we shall be building them in tandem - I am also a novice!
  37. Paul White
    Will do!

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.
