    Beautiful work, Toni. The bulkhead partition looks great in place.

    Check the Wasa... I believe that she had them also, but I could be wrong. Billings had them in kit and were, at the time, making changes to model regularly based on the research.

    I've had to come back several times and have a re-look at this... just amazing.

    Jan, Hans says they're not gunports. But you're right, they could be with the aft most 2 guns being moved there as needed. Then again, Wasa has two ports like that with guns... confusing.

    Super sweet detailing, Matt. Logos on the wheel....? I'm taking up knitting and hopscotch.

    I've noticed they've done nothing for the bulwarks except some netting. Make her look a little bizzare in many ways like you know there's a reason but not why. I guess the project to give her pivot guns went away also as I've not read about it for several years.

    Jan, If there's guns on that deck, then maybe but only if the port will allow the muzzle to clear. Otherwise the muzzleblast will happen inside the ship. It would also depend on how close to the waterline they are.

    NIce save on the frame, Tony. Your problem solving is great and will pay off on future builds. Interesting method for the waterways. i fought with that one and I'm still not sure I won.

    Good to see you back at her, Erik. She's looking great. Other hobbies and life do get in the way which seems to be the norm.

    Best guess is about all we can do on this ship with some things and these are one of those. Pity that some of the drawings were destroyed or changed... but I think you're doing a lot better with the research that I was able to do. Interesting on the bronze hinges. I would have thought they were iron. Where did those photos turn up?
  12. mtaylor
    Hans, Those two ports might be air ports for letting fresh air in below decks and also used as loading ports for supplies, etc. from the ship's boats.

    Just fantastic.

    Amazing details, Keith. It's a pity that it's just us that will see them. You might have to incorporate some photos of this cabin into your display when finished.

    It's probably a good thing not to have the bulwarks folding on an RC ship. I could see water coming over the stern (gust of wind or a wake from someone else) and suddenly a wet deck. I'm liking what I'm seeing overall... looks and sails great.

    Beautiful work, Glenn. I'm learning as much from the discussions involving decisions and methods as I'm from your build. Thanks.
  17. mtaylor
    Impressive work, Daria. You're doing a fine job of building this ship.
  18. mtaylor
    Fantastic pumps, Jesse.
  19. mtaylor
    Great looking water tank, Maury. And that gear set is something else. How big is that main gear?
  20. mtaylor
    Good attitude to have, Tony. I made my share of "oops" on the cross-section. It's the learning process for many of us that's important.
  21. mtaylor
    Tony, As I recall, some of us went with one piller right smack dab in front of the steps, other choose to go with two pillars. I'm not sure what the full build shows as it's been a long time since I looked at the plans. If I were doing this today, I'd go with either 2 pillars or leave them out. I did the one...
  22. mtaylor
    Super nice details, Denis. The hanging ropes and chains are the perfect touch.
  23. mtaylor
    Congratulations on being patient. She'll be right at home very quickly now.

    Bob, Uninstall it. A quick Google basically says that no one knows about ScanGuard nor what it really does. There's one website that has it on it's "top 10" list but that site opened up a month before ScanGuard showed up. It just smells very suspicious.

    Nenad, Here's a plug with frames being installed. I hope this helps.

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.
