    Having recently had extensive back surgery I know the feeling. Take it slow.

    The bollards seem simple but I spent a great deal of time, and more than one attempt, to get them right on Winchelsea. So you’re not alone. Do keep in mind a lot of things fit around them as the model progresses, its work looking forward in the instructions to visualize how that all come together.

    Like others I left mine natural, the same with the quarter galleries. I think it ties in much better with the rest of the ship. White would stand out as the only white. I like the natural result.

    Tapering and bending to shape a plank so it almost lays correctly without gluing is key to planking. It is a learned skill few of us get right the first time around. I learned a great deal and after building a number of models re-crafted my own planking after watching thes Chuck Pisarro videos. Here’s a link: Planking videos Whatever you do don’t be discouraged. I removed and replaced enough planking to cover three sides of a hull more often than not.

    If I get to the point of taking on another multi-year project this would be it. It’s really shaping up to be a beauty. I like your website and enjoyed your blog article. Nice to see there is a new source for Winchelsea. Hope you’re able to add Cheerful as well. I do have a temptation to build her again, this time in all boxwood. Though it seems we lost our US based source for wood packages.

    I didn’t see it listed on your website, but then it also closed for maintenance. 😊

    I’ll add another half layer to howser openings, I like how it looks on Winchelsea. The design details are impressive as always.

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.
