    The two sides at once is a good idea, after coppering one side of Vanguard I stopped modelling for three years in avoidance of doing the other side. Haven’t coppered anything since. I like the square tuck. Probably like you I’ve been fascinated by them ever since Cheerful.

    Very interesting approach to a frame model! Nice!

    I felt the bits were horribly out of scale (post #19 in my Nelson log linked below) and scratch built my own, something to consider. You’re doing very nice work.

    Not sure if it applies; I learned planking Cheerful and Winchelsea that I edge bent the bow edge of the plank down in order for the to lay up on center at the stem. It seemed counterintuitive but it worked. Maybe what you’re already doing…

    Impressive.

    Just a thought. It’s easier to drill and add the various ring and eye bolts before assembly or at least drill the holes for them.
  28. glbarlow
    Yay for Surprise! Hope you feel better soon.
  29. glbarlow
    Nice work on the mast and bowsprit, not an easy task.

    Thank you all for the kind words. Building Winchelsea was a wonderful journey. Perseverance is probably a better description, I was committed to doing a step or task over and over until I got it right. I didn’t want to look at it years later wishing I spent a little more time fixing something.
  31. glbarlow
    Beautiful model, congratulations! You’ve added many unique touches making it truly yours, well done.
  32. glbarlow
    There are many logs and posts in this forum on the many different ways to seize blocks, try a search. There are also YouTube videos some have referenced.
  33. glbarlow
    Simply drilling/sanding the hole at the prescribed angle.
  34. glbarlow
    Wow, really great work. I can’t get over all the hand painted decorations. The overall darker wood (vs. my AYC) makes yours a standout. Well done!

    No problem, enjoying your log. Cheerful is such a great build.

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.
