Wait a minute, Maurys: the original Grice drawing shows a plugstock rudder. The center of rotation is such that the round c/s rudderhead passes through a circular hole in the counter!

That rudder only needs about 15 degrees each way: more helm than that and you have a brake!

I suggested the centerpunch for consistency of 'strike'.

I don't know whether this will work at your scale, but I cut short lengths of tube, just a little wider than the thickness of the thimble, and flare each end with a centerpunch (light spring setting!) on a steel surface.

The railing is looking very good. You are best likely to match paint colors under good daylight if you can.

No forgiveness required, Michael. In the color photo of Atalanta posted above you will see the black timberheads (for hitching lines to) below the roughtree rail. This was common before belaying racks and pins were more universally adopted. This was necessitated by the closed in and built up bulwarks.

Michael: those protruding timbers are formed into timberheads. I suspect that on the port side Toni will add these as separate items.

Nicely carved, Toni. With the tiller almost parallel to the deck, does it dip down too far toward the deck when the tiller is swung? If so, simply turn the tiller the other way up!

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.
