Mike, On the musket stowing... I would think they'd keep the muskets close at hand since this basically a "day ship" with no provisions for much of anything other than the guns.

The monographs give a good history of the ship and depending on the monograph, detailed plans with lots of notes on the ship's construction.. There's some monographs only suitable for solid hull as they don't have any below deck info. Others, give you everything in the way of plans... including framing. Note of caution.. these monographs are basically how the full size ship was built and are really not an instruction manual on "do this... do this next, etc." Having said all that... the monographs are definitely wonderful books for reading and great reference works.

Hi Paul,

Kenny, If you haven't done it.. make copy of anything your using to cut like the frames. It may save you some grief if you mess up a frame. Just the voice of experience here.

mtaylor replied to michael101's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
A very versatile tool. I've used it for tapering my planking as well assorted odds and ends where I needed a small power sander. -
Welcome to the wonderful of "re-do's" or "do-overs". It pretty much seems to be a way of life around here.

I'm sort of stuck here. I'm seeing two different styles of carriages for the French 8-pdr cannon. I'm also under the impression that this applied to the 4-pdr's also. See picture. The upper one has both axle trees connected by a beam and the side supports sit on the axletrees. Note the rounded cutout at the bottom of side support. The lower one has a large "plank", if you will, that side sit on and then this is affixed to the axletrees. Which would be right for for the 1760's-1770's? I have detailed plans for both and just need to find out which one to use.

Ships lanterns
mtaylor replied to bluenose2's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
The old lanterns were either large candles although some were oil fed via a wick down either in the Great Cabin, or the deck below it. So, the flame would have been yellow. This era was before the red/green navigation lights and the lanterns were more for position within the fleet at night. There was somewhere, a small lantern that would come out after dark for a couple of hours to inidicate it was ok for the crew to break out their pipes and smoke... the smoking lamp. So clear glass and not colored. If illuminating via LED, then use a yellow one.

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.
