    Stern ladders were introduced probably in the late 1600's to early 1700's. I've seen them on contemporary models.

    Brilliant progress in the two weeks I've been away, Ed!
  3. druxey
    Wow! Great progress, Frank.

    Nice to see an unusual subject modelled. Looking forward to seeing this one develop, John.

    Also catching up after my vacation, Maury. Good progress there. As for scuppers, 3" to 4" diameter sounds about right. I imagine four or maybe five a side?

    Enjoy your vacation. Just back from mine and it's nice to see your progress.

    Good going, Steven. It's great to come back from vacation and see that someone has been working!

    Only just come across your post, Mark. Your dating of this document sounds very plausible. Given the thickness of the brackets as 6", and their spread from 1' 6" to 2' 0", the breadth of the brackets must be 2' 2". A drawing of a 32pdr carriage, 1732 pattern, measures exactly 2' 2" (Caruana, Volume II, page 375.) Hope this helps.

    Lovely work as ever, Ed!

    Coming along nicely, Mike. Looks good!
  11. druxey
    Looks very convincing, Dick!
  12. druxey
    Off to a good start, John. Look forward to your progress, however slow!

    Sorry that you have to interrupt your build, Christian. Hopefully you will have a bit of time to enjoy the Rijsmuseum if you are in Amsterdam. Best wishes with the project.

    Bee-utiful, Keith!

    Congratulations on the completion on your opus magnum, Nils! That is a very nicely well-populated model. One tiny suggestion, if I may: drape the flags in a natural way rather than have them stick out stiffly. But she looks magnificent. Well done!

    Good to see you back and more progress, Tecko. I'm sorry that you have had grief since last posting and hope your health issues are resolving. Quite the bundle of wires! Neatly done.
  17. druxey
    Very nicely done, Frank. You are very brave to use a rotary tool to cut the octagon! Enjoy your break.
  18. druxey
    Lovely, Ed: although I think you mean a tick strip. Ticks are marks (or a nasty little insect!) and tics are involuntary muscle twitches. Hopefully you don't suffer from the latter!

    There are several plans of Princess Royal, 1773, in the Royal Museums Greenwich collection .
  20. druxey
    Sweet! What specie of wood are using to plank with, Maurys?
  21. druxey
    Looking good, Mike. Keep those pencil lines hair thin for accuracy!
  22. druxey
    Third attempt is a charm, Ed! Very, very nice work on this complex spar.
  23. druxey
    Those are great suggestions and, no, I'm not laughing. It makes an excellent subject for the Janeites! All the best with your presentation.
  24. druxey
    Coming along. Soon it will be time for the whiskey strake!
  25. druxey
    Any decorative work would have been hollowed to fit over the wales: these strengthening strakes would not be cut into and weakened. However, you are correct that there would not be spaces between these pieces.

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.
