    Way back in boot camp, I remember mention of being guards on board for captain's/admiral's cabins and on board messengers as needed. But there was a lot of uniform and gun cleaning/repairs, not to mention target practice and "repel boarders" drills. How much of that applies to the Brits, I have no idea but I suspect it was similar.

    Have a great and well-deserved vacation, Chris. It's good to get away from "work" no matter how much you enjoy it.

    Just one amazing model. Breathtaking work.

    They used to make an office/desktop printer that did 11 X 17 but I've not found any lately after mine died. So yes, use the standard office type printer (some take 8.5 X 14) and then an office supply or print shop for the larger ones. I've used those services and now use architectural copy shops for the large prints and find them very reasonable in price.

    Sorry I'm late to the finish.... but just long low WOW from me. This is incredible and been a wonderful journey following along.

    The shipwright should be pleased as the carpenters are doing excellent work.

    Regarding your first part... Budriot was a good researcher as I understand. The problem is that his monographs have never been updated so if there's new information, it's not in them. The real problem is then learning what is correct. I do have a question... what is in the space behind the fake windows? I believe windows were reserved for senior officer spaces due to cost. So, is that junior officers cabin since it doesn't have a balcony?

    True on that. What parts are chromed? This got my curiosity up.

    With 4 crewman in there plus the engine right behind them, I d think it was plenty warm.. Now summer would be another issue.

    Welcome to MSW from a former Tech Writer. Good looking Albatros. Do feel free to open build logs as not only is a good way to meet others, but also to get help.

    We have our own place for that.....

    Disease probably such as dysentery. It's still a problem. Maybe not so much on ships but ground troops have had issues with various feces born diseases for centuries. When I was in Nam, we had assorted health problems related to such matters.

    Well, I think most if not all of us have been there with you. Just takes some time and practice.

    I've read that they used but it was never defined as to era, ship class, or nation. British seemed to mentioned as I recall more than any other country. I suspect that we modelers just ignore them as they would be hidden.

    "cozy" is an understatement, IMO. I'm surprised anyone could even work the gun in that space.

    Very well done, OC.

    Should be interesting to follow along. It struck me that the front end looks like an old Ford Thunderbird grill. I guess my mind is a bit twisted due to age.

    Steel's book, if I recall correctly is basically English ships. American rigging may have been close. I think there's an Anatomy of the Ship book available for Constitution but I'm not sure how deep it goes into rigging.

    I am in total awe at this....

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.
