    Sign me up for the first kit with the CNC block option. Years ago I would frequently check the Jotika website waiting for the completed prototype and kit ready to sell. Never understood why they left it on the site unfinished (it’s still there). No doubt I’m better off having the Vanguard version anyway.

    One of the most amazing models I’ve ever seen on this forum, or anywhere else!

    Nice work on the fine details. It is these little mini-projects that make this model stand out above all others. Glad to see you making the time to do them right.

    Another excellent model BE, congratulations! I have followed your detailed and instructive logs for years now, they were a constant reference for me for my own Pickle and Pegasus. I like the display and the partial matting, a unique presentation. I have the goal to create a book on my Winchelsea, inspired by your creating one for all your models. looking forward to what’s next.

    Congratulations to you and your family!

    Just recommending the top rail go to the skirt, not cut off just short as shown, but what do I know…
  21. glbarlow
    Well done. I imagine in the “refined” version the figureheads butt will be closer to sitting on the head rails (if that’s the right word, head rails,not butt)😀

    Glad to hear, PE is so “kit-like…”

    I was able to mold it to fit once the Elmer’s glue stick was applied. If it doesn’t work, isopropyl alcohol will easily remove it and you can try again.

    Not sure what that means, so are the rudder and stem two halves glued together or a solid piece?
  30. glbarlow
    Been waiting for this ever since Caldercraft showed a prototype they never finished years and years ago. Let’s go! Hoping that’s a spare rudder and stem another something made from two layers? Those gun carriage sure make use of available space:-)

    Limited Edition series 2? 😎 I’d be interested too should things change. Something I could build with my grandson.
  33. glbarlow
    Not sure how I missed the finished model post nearly a year ago. Try belated congratulations on a job so well done. So many fine points about your build, the one I find especially impressive are the splices and seizings in your rope work. Well done!
  34. glbarlow
    Well done!

    I believe it’s the same called limewood in Europe and basswood in the US, certainly similar if nothing else. It’s suitable for interior parts, but not of quality for planking in my opinion. I’d thin mahogany would be difficult to work with, walnut is very common and what most basic kit builders provide. Not the best look for our model. Maybe it’s worth the cost to have Alaskan Cedar shipped to you. From Chuck’s mill partner

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.
