Hi Mark, Welcome to MSW. As Chris mentioned, start small (no masts) and then go up from there as more masts equals more complexity. If you haven't read this, please do as it will help get you started on the model building path:

I am constantly amazed at how much detail you put into these tiny models. It's looking great.

Welcome to MSW, Jon. As far as sailing the "big boy"... There's one on the north coast (I think the farthest south it goes is Coos Bay but I could be wrong. And I believe the museum ship, Surprise, in San Diego still does day cruises.

Your beakhead bulkhead is stunning. Just fits right in with everything else. I'm sure the king will be pleased.

Joe, A quick Google got me these with a lot more hits. Maybe it's starting place. I used ".50 cal machine gun mount for PBR". Hope it helps or sends you in the right direction. https://www.eugeneleeslover.com/USNAVY/COASTAL-RIVERINE-CRAFT-ARMAMENT.html https://nara.getarchive.net/media/a-close-up-view-of-twin-mounted-m-2-50-caliber-machine-guns-on-a-pbr-mark-2-d9fa9b As I recall.... and memory may not be so hot, the gun was mounted to the mount using a pin-lock bolt. The pin to release the bolt had a ring and had to be pulled first (spring loaded). Once the bolt was pulled the gun came off. Mounting was the reverse and usually required a bit of acrobatics to get the bolt in.

Nicely done, Siggi. A question and I hate to ask it. Is the little man with the paint to scale? If he is, I think the pump housing might be too high as he would have to raise his hands well over his head while using the pumps.

Frolick, I tried and for some reason failed on fixing it. I left you a note in the post on what to try. -

On the pictures... it's just as easy to upload all of them at once. Then move the cursor where you want the the photo and add he photo using the little pop-up icon (I think it's on the left side of the thumbnail when you hover over the thumbnail). -
Hi John, Welcome to MSW. I won't repeat the advice the others have given but will offer this... start 'simple'. By that I mean no-masts or maximum of one-mast. And open a log. Logs are a great way to get help and meet folks.

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.
