Very well done, Mark. Looks great. -
Welcome to MSW. I hope you can find a model to your likening.

Jack, I'm putting this here in your build, as well as Treesqueak's for benefit of anyone else building this model. I know we've talked about but I really hate to a couple hundred dollars worth of kit get tossed.... I do suggest that you read well ahead in the instructions. The reason is that after they tell you to glue the main deck down, they then tell you assemble and install the guns which is impossible. We've had way too many abandoned builds happen when they realize that they can't install the guns.

Looking pretty good at this point. I do suggest that you read well ahead in the instructions.

Welcome to MSW, Nicolas. The best advice I can offer is to start a build log along with exploring the various sections of MSW where's there are pinned posts on such topics as "planking".

Julie, I suggest you start a new topic and include some photos. Here's alink on how to upload:

Yep... the whole mess started because the navy couldn't build any new ships, only repair old ones. So they drug the frigate in and knocked it apart. Burned all but 4 timbers as I recall, and built the sloop of war. Congress was happy, the Navy was happy. And then when she moved to Baltimore for rework and to be a museum ship, there was a lot of not so nice things done as far as turning her into a frigate and claiming she was the original frigate. About 5-10 folks should have had some serious jail time for that bit. During the rebuild when they went from fake frigate to actual sloop, they replanked her some composite/impregnated boards. Supposedly will last a long time but I've not heard much of late.

Very well done, Steve. And I'm with everyone else... that gold leaf is an impressive touch to some wonderful carvings.

I've seen a photo or two with that "container" on the side of the turret but I can't remember where. It might have been on the early builds of it for water or fuel. I doubt ammo would be stored there. -

If you're just needing something and don't mind moving it around, go to the local home improvement shop and get a shop vac. Noisy but they work. -
Power Sander
mtaylor replied to English Rebel's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Are you asking only for bench sanders? If small ones, Jim Rogers recommended a good one. Also, I can recommend this small belt sander https://www.micromark.com/Cordless-Proxxon-Belt-Sander-with-Battery-and-Charger .

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.
