    Thanks for the suggestion.Yes Mike, you are right. I didn't get satisfied with the results of the nail heads either .I though to pull all of them back and replace them with the new ones. I can do these later. Now I am thinking a new method for the nails with less effort. Thanks again, I will wait for your other advices...

    Today was my last holiday day so I work hard and do lots of stuff... Now all I need is to build two more wooden doors

    Yes Artisan083 you are right. In the instruction book the wood seems different. But if you look at page 16 or page 18 you will notice that they are the same mahogany no29. I used no29 for both the bulwarks and the hull. The choice is yours but if you use the thinner mahogany in the bulwarks there will be a thickness difference between the bulwarks and the hull.

    Good luck with this kit. I have been busy with it too. You can follow it in my built log. Nice kit ☺️

    And here is the third grating... First I have built some inner reinforcements for the base. Then I attached them to the both sides of the hole. I have built the floor on the tab of the side mouldings with mahogany sticks. And finally I fixed the ladder and grating...

    For a few days I have been busy with lining the deck and varnishing. As you can see I attached the gratings as well; but I skiped the third one. This grating is seemed to me as the perfect one for a passage to the lower floor with a ladder. So now I am working on it. I will share the photos of this grating as soon as it finish.

    after lining and sanding the head rails...
  22. msberkman
    and I cut a piece of wood with a tringle end for the intersection of head rails and they sit perfect with it.
  23. msberkman
    I have reshaped the head rails for the exact fit...

    after varnishing the bulkhead...
  25. msberkman
    finally I attached the wooden door to the bulkhead of the ship. I will varnish this part soon...

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.
