Just don't make it too tight to the model.

Thank you, Graham. The links work fine! Looks as if it is in good condition as well.

Looks like you are having fun! Nice work on the paint and oars. Upgrading the line is a good idea.

Despite misuse and neglect, the 1922 photo shows how well constructed she was. Most ships would have hogged badly over time. Her sheer still looks good.

Ah, that! I've never seen any other model or reference to such a pissdale. Any other was always on the ships's side, usually in the waist.

The earliest carronades were mounted on the 'outside principle' with the pivot point outside the port. Also, early carronades did not have a muzzle extension to direct blast away from spreading to rigging. Photos are of carronades for Comet, 1783. I did quite a bit of research on these when I built that model.

If, by 'funky seat' you mean the red painted ones, they do appear on other models. I recall seeing one contemporary model with a two-level pair of seats - like steps - in the corners. Can't imagine both in use at the same time. Wouldn't want to be the lower user! You'd have a leg on either side of you.... I suspect that idea was quickly abandoned!

If the mizen stay is attached a bit higher up the main mast, would that give just a little more clearance?

That annoying voice.... Sorry about that but, as I say to my wife, "I'm always right." Then things go black for a while. When I regain consciousness.... On a more serious note, your drafting skills are exemplary.

And next - a model pond yacht inside the boat? Seriously, that is a lovely piece of work, Keith.

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.
