    Undoubtedly, manually shaping of the masts/spars from rectangular to round, is the more authentic method, but I always use my old Sherline long bed lathe for this task. Also, I use a Steady Rest to prevent wood deflection during turning. Still, for my French 74 1:48 by Boudriot, for some very long spars, I had to turn them in halves, drill holes in their ends and connect them together with a dowel & glue. You cannot see the joint now. Using a lathe is quite faster and more accurate than doing it manually, I think. In the end, it is a matter of personal preference... 🤔

    Splendid little model, very well done, considering the clinker planking! 👍 I only would recommend that for your rigging, try to get a little tighter twist of the yarns (threads)...

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! 😀

    What is the projected price of the HMS Surprise kit?

    I seem to remember that Doris was building one of her spectacular models with lighting inside (was it the SotS or the Royal Katherine?). Check out the old posts of her and find out. Maybe you'll find your answers there?

    You probably could do it by yourself fairly easily, by replacing a wooden (?) dowel properly shaped for a jibboom and rerigging this part. Just don't forget before the removal of all ropes to take a series of close-up photographs of the existing situation to make sure where each line goes and replace them later on, one-by-one. Good luck, Thomas

    I managed to 'color' this image (texturize) in Meshy6 - that's how far I was allowed to go there free of charge.
  20. Dziadeczek
    Clear shellac or Danish oil - my choices. Home centers like Home Depot, Lowes or Ace Hardware, or so...

    I don't have an answer to your question, but I have seen once such cardboard tubes for storing extra wood strips and similar, in the local Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard, S. California - as a part of a display of a workshop of the late modeler Ed Marple.

    I played a little with this software and, for the experiment's sake I uploaded a drawing of a French naval officer from Mr. Boudriot's book on the 74 gun ship to see, what would develop... I was pleasantly surprised to find out that their 3D rendition turned out sooo good! - see the pic (it is only a 2D screenshot from a full 3D conversion, which turned out nearly perfectly, certainly good enough for me! I am thinking about 3D printing of a dozen or so small figurines (about 3.5 - 4 cm long, which is about 1.5 in.) to populate my 74 gun ship model I recently finished building. The problem with this free version of Meshy 6, I see, is that you can only upload your pic (photo or drawing) and convert it into a 3D sculpture, but you cannot further download this 3D sculpture elsewhere, to print it. To do that, you'd have to sign in for it and pay a minimum 8 dollars/month for a subscription (despite the statement from Meshy, that you can do it for a free trial - just to see how it goes (and if it satisfies you, then you can pay them and do your projects). So, that is this limitation..., unless I missed something.. 🤔

    What is the website your figurines come from? I am looking for similar figurines of French sailors of 18 century for my model of the 74 guns ship (from Boudriot) in the scale 1:48 and cannot locate any suitable ANYWHERE! Thanks! Thomas

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.
