Great choice, I’m a fan of Admiralty Paints version, I prefer it over gold (and white), seems more realistic, to me anyway. Your stern is looking great, creative and just bold enough.

Left the black card behind a long time ago. The shrink wrap tubing works well, I have a selection of sizes but it can be challenging to heat it just the right amount, clearly BE has that down. These days I prefer black masking tape, more of an iron look that artist tape and easy to fit and then paint to complete the look.

Well done, I’m always impressed with your creativity. And I agree, attention to small things as you do sum together into a great model.

I believe the boats are always sitting up to make them faster and easier to launch, but i could be wrong. The leather dye is an interesting choice, but I recall from using it back in my time the army as being a total mess to work with. No matter how careful I was it wound up in places I didn’t want it and near impossible to remove. Still a nice effects, you seem to have kept it in control.

A really good point to remember for some that want to point to a book and deem themselves as purveyors of truth and historical accuracy. My answer is more simple, the dark brown looks better on the model than black, and is my personal preference. On another note, the guy that climbs that rope ladder along the mast is braver than me, and just how huge are those deadeyes and the rope making up the shrouds. 😳

How did you attach the graphics to the wood? Nice that you have the Winchelsea set modifies for use on Sphinx. I matched my to Winsor & Newsome cerulean blue with maybe a touch of Mars Black. Yourclor match looks great.

I wonder how many broken ankles came from nighttime strolls on the quarterdeck.😊

Wales, First Layer I completed the first layer of the wales. I usually try to make my logs either entertaining or informative, this time here’s a few photos for reporting purposes. I’ve only done rough sanding, I’ll wait until I complete more planking above and below to do more, I’ll also even up the sides as visible from the stern then. I did not follow a butt shift plan for this under-layer except to not to place them at the same place for the plan’s pattern I’ll use on the top layer. Obviously no reason to pencil between planks either.

I make my own rope. I just fill out this form, supply some money and my rope arrives made. I appreciate the talent, but there are just some things I have no interest doing. No rope rocket for me.

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.
