They were probably cleaned and repainted after use, Jaager. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that painting the guns was part of maintenance activities.

Welcome to MSW. I recall what Chris said and there's build logs several large (by wargaming standards) of viking era ships here.

Depends on the cannon material. Brass/bronze were usually left on finished. Iron (and this is one of those "depends" answers) painted or left bare (wrought iron ones not cast).

Welcome to MSW, Ozark. By all means, start a build log. It'll be the best way to get help and encouragement with the build. As for general questions like glue... there's a plastic area here: https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/58-general-ship-model-kit-discussions/ And for tech type questions or research there's here:https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/12-shop-notes-ship-modeling-tips-techniques-and-research/ And there's an index which would point you to other builds: Explore the site, use the search function (upper right hand corner).

Try putting a cloth on your lap from your belt to the work bench. I use some tape to hold the cloth to the bench but will hopefully soon, use something more permanent. I'm now catching probably 90% of the stuff that heads to the floor.

Sounds to me like you're off to a good start. And a build log is an excellent idea.

Trig, I keep it separate so not to contaminate the "new" stuff. I also do what Jim says.. use it over and over until it stops working. -
Looking like a new post from here, Dave.

To paraphrase the old TV commercial ad: "Is it the real ship or is it Memorx?" Seems like every build you do raises the bar, Dan. And they also show how to raise our own bars.

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.
