    David didn't beef them up; this is what one sees on detailed profile plans of the era! Just one example:

    Ten oared sounds reasonable.
  18. druxey
    Glad the triangular ringbolt method worked for you! The decision you made on the hatch covers looks really good. Model Motorcars Ltd supply a number of miniature bolts, etc.

    Welcome back, indeed! With your abilities, I'm sure those chairs will turn out well, Keith.
  27. druxey
    Interesting technique of 'tempering' polystyrene!
  28. druxey
    Actually, the stiles are each just a single piece. I suspect that the notch in the rear of them was partly to save weight.
  29. druxey
    I'm sure that there were local differnces between English (Steel) and French (Boudriot) practice.
  30. druxey
    Most likely to air out the toilet compartment?
  31. druxey
    Apparently this toxic green was also used in book covers for a while....
  32. druxey
    Horizontal lodging knees would be vital, I would think! The other, less likely, possibility would be beam arms.
  33. druxey
    Looking very good, Chris. My solution is a bit late now: In order to avoid barked knuckles when fairing the inside of the hull, I fair the fore and aft frames before adding the midship ones. This gives lots of access and elbow room. Ah well, next time, perhaps....
  34. druxey
    A hanging knee over a gun port (at least in English practice) would be 'cast' or angled around the port. Her there is insufficient space for this solution, so omitting it entirely is reasonable.

    Just found your log, E. J. A 'great' start!

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.
