I seem to recall coming across other 'made' yard plans such as Mark describes, Allan.

Be aware that most paintings were by artists who were probably never on board, particularly during battle. Furniture of any kind was stowed below in action; the less sources for splinters, the better. Officers and captain would have been above on the quarter deck, not sitting comfortably at a table with a tablecloth, yet!

Looks very good so far. Rewetting basswood as required will not harm it. Aso, if you dent it while clamping, a judicious remoistening of the depressed area will re-expand the wood fibers.

Your drawing looks very good to my eye. The solid upper wheel with sprockets is correct for the period. The hole through the center of the wheel should be square, not round, as is the axletree that runs through it at that point. Blanckley mentions wedges driven on all four sides to keep the wheel secured. The rowle at the lower end is shaped with a concavity; it has a smaller diameter at the center than at the ends.

Headroom would probably have been lower than in the painting!

Sorry about your weather related woes. Hopefully all be well for the New Year.

Unless you are leaving the wood unpainted, the sanding off of char looks fine the way you have it.

Chris is absolutely correct. We see enquiries for these kind of models quite frequently.

Well done, Keith! Looks great. Is the netting stiffened at all with acrylic matt medium or similar?

Absolutely superb and top-notch, Valeriy! Congratulations on not only completing this amazing model, but doing so under very trying circumstances. I wish a better and more peaceful year ahead for you.

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.
