    Looking good. Nice progress.

    Marcus According to the Blue Jacket parts list you need 160 belaying pins. If there is no lines on the pin you would just pull the pin up. Jim

    Your detail is the best I've seen. I should have asked earlier or read the Blue Jacket manual. Radiation treatments got in the way. Is this the right camboose to use? On page 28 paragraph 3 that the photoetch camboose is of the 1815-1827 period.

    No it was Revell. http://www.ipmsusa3.org/gallery/v/box_art_album/Manufacturers/QRST/Revell+Box+Art/Ships+and+Vessels/Sail/English_Man_o_War_Revell_H397_96th.jpg.html I was working on it when I was stationed in Brunswick Maine in early 70's. Presentily I'm trying to finish the Imai Napoleon that I bought in Newport, R.I. in the early 80's when I was stationed there. Now that radiation treatment is over maybe I can get it finished. First model in about 40 years. I have the Revell Constitution 05602, Heller Victory and Le Soleil Royal in the stash. Constitution will be the third time. Tried to find the K&S mesh but no luck. I go to Hobby Lobby and Hobbytown in Manchester and to Hobby Emporium in Tyngsborough. Glad to know someone else is from New Hampshire. GraniteCon model show is Sunday at the Elks club in Nashua if your interested.

    Not sure about walmart. If they do maybe it would be in the sewing area.

    Glad to see you made it here. Were you able to get the bees wax?

    Thanks for the brain dump. Now that makes sense. Jim

    Would the shot racks be correct? Page 29 of Blue Jacket manual talks about hanging shot lockers between each gun. Also shown in Figure 13.

    I've been following you build for a while. You are a good craftsman. I have some questions about Evergreen you've used. What did you use for the spar deck bulwarks? Gun deck beams and knees? Gun deck hatch coamings? Thank you Jim

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.
