    Nice frames. But a bit odd with shrouds inside of the bulwarks. One would think that they'd interfere with the cargo that way. Would be interesting to know why.

    KeithAug, that sounds, well, harsh. I will from now on consider 15 degrees completely okay and will not complain more 😉

    A couple of days above freezing, add some heavy rain and I think you can figure it out @Nirvana 😉 Now it's back below zero again... too bad with the snow.
  24. Wintergreen
    Yes @bolin, I just saw your post about frames 😄
  25. Wintergreen
    Good progress Bolin! One thought crossed my mind and that is about the bulwarks. I guess they will come on later and be carvel planked? One reason I only manage one or maybe two frame pieces a day is patience as well 😉 Keep it up!
  26. Wintergreen
    Yep, still here, plodding along. Just one fram pair to go. I haven't counted, by my guess is that every frame piece goes in and out of the hull up to 50 times. So each pair of frames, that's 100 times. Multiply by nine, that's.. hm... 900 passes in and out. For some reason I don't think a real shipwright needs that many jumps in and out of the hull. This is the 2nd pair being test fitted. Just one pair to go, the front most one. And here are the other, waiting for final fit and glue. And no, I haven't used the draw knife to bevel the frames! It belongs to ano

    Excellent posts Mike! By a quick www search I found a store in NL that currently has the 0,75 l can for just 35€. That is ordinary paint price to me 🙂 What tool did you use to apply? Brush or sponge? Airbrush? That would be fancy...

    Nice to see another Dana build 😉 I had a similar goal with my build in that it was the first ever kit that I got at 10 yrs old. I scrapped it in my teens when changing rooms. So to get going again much, much later I bought the very same kit and built it once more.
  29. Wintergreen
    Exceptionally neat rigging. Wow.
  30. Wintergreen
    Yay, it's not finished yet 😉 More delightful work. A side note, what brand is your mini table saw I see in the background?
  31. Wintergreen
    Very well sir, thank you, now I see them. 🙂 note to self: add to wishlist - mini table saw. probably European brand since shipping from the states is horrendously expensive. In a world of changes it is soothing that your Montague is always there, plodding along with small updates now and then. Keep it up and carry on!
  32. Wintergreen
    @garyshipwright, another tooling question if I may. Going through the pictures above there are a lot of goodies, but I don't see any mini table saw. A full size, yes, but no mini. So what do you use to mill planks I wonder? Having big tools myself I ponder over future additions (addictions?). 😉 Thanks.
  33. Wintergreen
    Sounds like you've got a plan. That's good. 🙂
  34. Wintergreen
    Yes, it's a tedious job to get a good fit towards the planking. Ask me how I know 😆

    Copy that @neilm My thought was that it is easier to do the paint job when there is easy access, like having the deck house freed from the hull, and then glue it in place when painted.

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.
