    Construction continues.  It's a wonder what a visit to the Musee de Marine in Paris can do and a copy of Bernard Frolich's book.  Cutting the gunport and adding the sills.  Very nerve wracking cutting into the frames after the amount of work that went into them.

    Working on installing the wales.  I have the upper two of the four strakes in place.  There are 3 gunports that intersect the wales at the aft end of the ship.  I will cut those in soon as I've come to realize doing things in this order will make it tricky to install the top and bottom sills of the ports (duh).
     
    There is some trimming to do on the sternports as well as the bottom of the port will intersect partway into the moulding.
     
    I need to figure out the camera/lighting so the colors will show better in the pictures.  I was a bit skeptical that Dave included apple for the planking with the timbering set, but it looks awesome with the pear and boxwood.  The wales are rosewood.

    Stern counter timbers.  I thought this part might be tricky, and I thought right.  After several do-overs back in business.  Next will be the remaining stern timbers and transoms.

    Here is a view of most of the framing complete
     

     
     
     
    Here I have added the hawse timbers
     

     
     
     
    Here I have added the transoms
     

     
     
     
    I don't like how the fillers below the first transom turned out, so I am reworking that section and working on the stern timbers now.

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.
