    Jolly Roger Pirate Ship by Kimberley - FINISHED - Lindberg - PLASTIC - 1:130

    Dear Kimberley:

     

    Actually, for La Flore, I think the bottom of the hull was wood planks coated with a tallow mixture that was white in color.  I don't believe that copper was used on the bottom of hulls yet.  That was introduced a bit later.

     

    But the bottom line is, it's your model, and you should do as you see fit!  Most importantly, enjoy!

     

    Best,

    Oh, and for inspiration, here are photos of the 1:300 Langton Brig kit you are building (if you scroll down a bit, you can also find photos of the Langton HMS Juno and USS Wasp kits):

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.
