    Please use your building board with retaining strips each side to keep your keel straight. You'll need that board for erecting the framing anyway. Once some longitudinal timbers are on, the keel will remain straight.

    A fascinating discussion, gentlemen!

    Pretty impressive work at that size! Must have been fun with trial and error in determining cutting parameters. Your lacquer 'gluing' technique is interesting. How much time does that allow for adjustment?

    Luvverly!

    Very, very nice rework, Michael.

    If using ply, the 'sandwich' needs to be a balanced one with an equal number of layers each side of the central core. If it isn't, it will warp. That's why veneered pieces always have a counter-veneer on the opposite side.

    Looking good, Kevin! One forgets that in certain parts of the world termites are a consideration.

    And the world does not need yet another Victory model!

    Thanks for the comment, Steven.

    Lovely work on both, as ever!

    I believe that those gaps between the frames and planks are deliberate: water can flow to the lowest point in the boat to be bailed out.

    Question: would there have been anchor chain used at that time, or rope line?
  13. druxey
    Lovely result, Mark. Aren't those planks fun? Folk think that topside planking is just straight parallel strips of wood. You know better. Well done.

    Second line: "Main (indecipherable word, possibly 'Mail') above deck 24" Although 'Mail' does not make much sense! Perhaps 'Mast'? Any other ideas, anyone? If it is a mast, the measurements must surely be in yards/inches, not feet/inches.

    Yes, if the head ain't right, it will look wrong! Best to start over if that happens....
  16. druxey
    Very good and methodical, Michael!

    Ah! So you are returned, Matrim. Welcome back. Your audience is getting settled. House lights down, curtain up!

    The photo doesn't look as if it's gnash-worthy, Eric! Great progress.

    Congratulations on completion and a Happy, healthy New Year, Dan. I liked your PhotoShopped trickery photos!

    Ah, that Emmet! There was also a well-known English cartoonist of that name.
  21. druxey
    Beautifully executed, as usual! Your barrels are particularly nice, as the joints between the staves are not too obvious.
  22. druxey
    Thanks for that alternative view, Gary!
  23. druxey
    Clever as your wife replacement is, I think I'll keep my wife! Seriously, that is a lovely job you are doing, Keith.

    Bolsters appear to be about an inch or two thinner than the arm of the cheek that they sit on, Gary. See: https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66299.html https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66463.html

    Another thought: larger scale, but with topmasts sent down, or in the process of rigging the lower masts only?

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.
