    Nice Christian!

    Thank you all. I'm very proud of her. As for my next project, i'm not decided yet. I'd really love to make a frigate. Three choices, Chucks beautiful winchelsea, the Triton or the gorgeous Belle Poule. However i'm not sure i can take that on. Perhaps the cutter Cheerful or La jacynthe would be a wiser choice. So much choices...

    And here she is, proudly in the living room.

    Finally i finished her! My first scratch build little ship! Some pictures of her.

    I still need to add the reefing points to the mainsail. Afterwards i applied some diluted pva glue to the reefing lines and hanged a clamp on them to straighten them. When dried i cut of the excesses. Then it was finally time to rig the first sail on her. Slowly progressing and rigging all the sails.
  28. WBlakeny
    Thank you G.L.

    Hi Jorge, you're Triton looks amazing. It's inspiring me to start one as well.

    To make the sails, i first soaked the tissue in some tea for some time. After drying, i ironed them and use some starch. Then i drew with a pencil the bands and cut them off. Then i glued them to each other with dilluted glue. Overlapping each other just slightly, taping them to a piece of glass. When enough bands were glued to each other, i used a paper pattern of the sail to drew it on the tissue. Cutting it out. And finish each sail with sewing the boltropes around them. And behold, one finished sail So, i did for all the sails.

  32. WBlakeny

    Hey Glenn Glad to see another DeAgostini Yamato here. Nice job on her hull.
  34. WBlakeny
    Hey Glenn, no i didn't watch those youtube videos. Thank you for pointing me to them.

    I also created a base plate to install her. I've made two pedestals from some scrap birch i had lying around. I gave it several coats of oil.

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.
