Over a period of ~ 25 years, I visited this museum probably about a dozen of times, or so. And each time I took a handful of photographs. So, today I have quite a collection of pics from there.
It is not nearly as big as, let's say, The US Navy Museum in Annapolis, but It is a very interesting little maritime museum, with an exceptionally friendly staff, mostly of volunteers, passionate individuals, who fondly greet every visitor and are willing to help him/her.
This is the museum, the next NRG conference will be held next year.
Their collection of ship models includes, among the others, about half a dozen ship models by the late Edward Marple, who was a dental technician, so he was quite handy with his dental drill and was using it quite skillfully for carving the ornamentation for his models. Among those especially interesting ones, are his Sovereign of the Seas, the Royal George and the Royal Katherine...
The museum also has quite an interesting collection of maritime paintings, among them a large format painting of the Royal Sovereign by Van de Velde the Younger. I also like very much their paintings by John Stobart.
Here is a handful of my pics from my last visit in June 2019. (Hopefully I will be able to attend the upcoming Conference and revisit their models again).

Very handsome looking rope!
When staining a rope made on a ropewalk, which way is better, first stain the thread and than twist a rope from it, or stain a twisted rope after making it?
Also, what stain/colour brand do you recommend for this purpose?
I recently located and ordered a big spool of old antique Irish linen #35 thread by Barbour and currently am awaiting its arrival. I want to try making a rope from this (I was told) superior matherial, but unfortunately it only comes in white.
Previously I used to use factory coloured cotton from DMC for my ropes  - black and ECRU (and even various polyesther brands), so I didn't have a problem with staining my ropes.
I wonder how much difference I will encounter with this linen thread?
 
Regards,
 
Thomas

Ok I’m a little late starting my build log for this one. 
After doing a lot of research and comparing, I chose the Model Shipways kit of the USS Constitution for my first large scale all wood kit. In my research I came across JSGerson’s build log for the same kit and I got a lot of inspiration from his build! 
Just like JSGerson’s build I’m building a complete scratch gun deck for my kit.
I’ve currently have a lot of my hull done and I just need to finish cleaning up my starboard gun ports and thin I’ll start working on a lot of my finer details.

Hello,
thanks a lot for the nice words and all the others for the many LIKES
After a short break I am about to put the smaller anchors with the iron stocks on the anchor bearings. 
The larger one was used as a reserve anchor; the smaller one was used as a throwing anchor or warp anchor. Contrary to the drawing by J. Boudriot I decided to place these anchors according to the Paris model. So these anchors are placed on the port side.
 

Soon we will probably continue with the ratlines at foremast and cross mast.
To be continued ...
 

For a better controlled process, build yourself a simple jig. Get 2 paint mixing sticks (for free from Home Depot), cut them to appropriate lengths (slightly longer than the length of your mast) and glue to each on one side a strip of medium grade sand paper.
At one end of such stick glue short piece of wood (spacer) of same thickness as the top of your mast, and at the opposite end glue two other spacers as thick as the bottom diameter of your mast, leaving center hole empty. Glue both sticks together. Especially helpful if you fabricate many identical parts.
 
 
 
Clamp your jig to the worktable.
 
Insert one end of your dowel into a chuck of a handheld drill and place the opposite end of the dowel into this center hole of your jig. Start your drill and gently press it into your jig, until it goes all the way. It will be stopped by the smaller spacer at the other end. Voila!
 
I saw this concept in the Polish shipmodeling forum - one modeler was fabricating a few dozen oars for his model. You can see it here (scroll down the page half way to see appropriate pics).

I just thoroughly clean the brass/copper with fine steel wool to the bare metal and dip it in acetone trying not to touch it with my fingers. Afterwards I dip it in Birchwood Casey Brass Black for a few minutes. I noticed that if I keep it there for too long, the efect is undesireable, blotchy and uneven. I then wipe it with a cotton rug and dip in water.

Hi Karl,
I did not post here any reports and pics of my model build. Alltogether I lagged behind with taking photos of the progress of my work, rather concentrating on the build itself (which is going exceedingly slowly).
Here you can find some older pictures:   http://www.koga.net.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=523&t=46424
It is a Polish ship modeling forum, but the pictures are in English!   :-) Be sure to see all 4 pages.
There has been some progress since then (photoetched elements and other). One day I will have to snap a couple of new pics and post them.
Thanks for asking.
Regards,
Thomas
