    I also managed to frame in the stern windows. Not sure yet if I will add something to simulate glass. Zoomed in photos are brutal, lol.

    I have also spent the last several months learning some new skills. I turned all of the cannons and swivel guns on a Sherline lathe. There is a whole bag of practice cannons before I got to these. Next I need to learn silver soldering to finish these guys up as well as the various other metal working on the ship.

    Masts and yards:

    I have also been working on lots of little bits here and there. I am especially happy with how the capstan turned out.

    Construction on the galley has proceeded in fits and starts since the last post. Time for some updates. I wasn't sure about adding treenails to the deck. I decided on yes, and am very happy with the result. Nails were made from cherry. Adam

    There are many amazing models on this site, but this is one of my role models for precision wood working. Incredible! Adam

    The curved grating is amazing. Very inspirational high standard of work. Adam

    Bitao, This is amazing work. Your craftsmanship is beyond most of us on the site, but I love seeing the limits of what is possible. It gives a lot of inspiration and ideas for techniques even for those of us not quite as skilled. This is one of the few models I have seen with the pump dales actually in place. Adam

    Glen, That is a really cool display. One of the most unique displays of a ship in bottle I have seen. Adam

    Chuck, Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything in the various logs. Do you have a sense of how much the Winchelsea's hull weighs at this point? Adam
  11. Pirate adam
    You make it look so easy Marsalv! I have learned so much from reading through this log and your Pandora log. It makes me want to practice, practice, practice. Great work. Adam

    It looks great to me. I also recently bought a Rope Rocket, and I have been really happy with it so far. I agree with Chuck that making the rope is weirdly satisfying, and my wife even found it interesting.

    I really like the river raft. That is a cool execution of a very creative idea. Adam

    BTW, all of the Vallejo paint on the bench is NOT for the Washington. It is only used for plastic airplanes
  15. Pirate adam
    I have been a bit of the passenger on the site as late, but work on the Washington has continued in fits and starts over the last couple of years. Construction has picked up nicely as of late, and I think we may just end up with a finished galley at some point Here is the latest look at work to date. I have treated a lot of the pear wood as well as the decking with a layer of tung oil. Decking is holly. I'm super happy with the look especially on the areas that were coated a year+ ago. I am planning to leave the gun deck more or less as-is with half of the beams exposed. I'm still deciding whether or not to add another row or two of planks below the wales. I have seen models either way, and both look fine. Next up I will start with the internal planking. Adam

    Looking amazing!

    Very cool subject and amazing model. Adam

    Looking forward to seeing this one develop Albert.
  19. Pirate adam
    Congratulations Toni! It looks great.
  20. Pirate adam
    Stove in place.
  21. Pirate adam
    I used model railroad materials for the fire bricks.
  22. Pirate adam
    I made the stove out of plastic and brass bits.
  23. Pirate adam
    Platform and well in place.
  24. Pirate adam
    Limber boards in place.
  25. Pirate adam
    Mast steps and limber strakes.

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.
