    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.

    Your technique and methods are always a joy to follow, well done!
  5. glbarlow
    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.

    Yay for Surprise! Hope you feel better soon.

    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.

    Beautiful model, congratulations! You’ve added many unique touches making it truly yours, well done.

    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.

    Simply drilling/sanding the hole at the prescribed angle.

    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.

    Sorry Rusty. We lost our beagle after 17 years. It took us another 5 to get another, I know how you feel. We know the facts, doesn’t make it any easier when they pass on.
  15. glbarlow
    Excellent, looks great. And so close to the end now!

    The wheels are reversed, the large wheels go to the front. 😊

    Glad to see you back at it once again! I’ve also been looking at Harpy, looks like a fun kit.
  18. glbarlow
    Fun stuff making the little sticks fit, but it looks so good when it’s finished. Your journey is near the end. Great work Ben!
  19. glbarlow
    Just catching up on your log. Very nice work and progress. I enjoy watching another Cheerful coming to life. Well done!

    It’s your model and your choice. Not sure how anyone can claim to know the shade of paint on a ship that hasn’t existed for hundreds of years. I also like it, very striking. Beautiful work, exquisite detail.

    I have 13 models sitting about the house, none have cases. They are all fine, easy to view and seemingly much more a part of the home furnishings, at least to me. Dust is not a major issue, there just not that much of it. I turn them every 3-6 months and use a blower (not a high powered air can , but a more gentle blower) and soft brush to remove the dust that has collected. My oldest model was built in 2006. This process works for me, I just don’t like the concept of hiding them behind acrylic.
  22. glbarlow
    Nothing here to dread it seems, very nice work.
  23. glbarlow
    Nice looking tiller.
  24. glbarlow
    Next is the fun of the head timbers………
  25. glbarlow
    Your usual stellar work. Good luck with the move, never fun.

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.
