Robbyn, OcCre was started by a group of former AL people. Long story short: The owner of AL decided to move many operations to SE Asia. Anyway, I've heard that OcCre are step up. You might look in the gallery to see what's been finished and PM the builder for their opinions. Footnote: I see several OcCre Montanes, an Albatross, a Santisima Trinidad and others. All together 8 builds. You have search for OcCre.

Brian, On the spar, fore, quarter decks, they were probably stored on the bulwarks. On a gundeck, from pictures and paintings I've seen, they were stored on overhead beams. There were hooks for their storage. As for being on a model, most kits don't have the beams. Most scratch types, it's tough to add them. I think they're seldom shown as seeing them is almost impossible. On the other hand, some modelers have put these items around some cannon to indicate the cannon is in use.

Drazen, It is your choice. Do as much or as little in way of catch up as you want. Some people are doing a full restore and others are just doing a quick summary or review.

Nice work on the wheels, Wim. Seems we spend almost as much time doing touch up as we do building, doesn't it?

Pete, Try a mix of water and white glue at 50-50. Test it. You might have to go down on the glue. If use this, form the sail and then let the cloth dry. It can add a nice billow. I've also seen hairspray, starch, and matte finish (diluted) polyeurtothane varnish used. Oh... and did I mention test... test.. test before putting anything on the sail?

Bob, Excellent work on the gun and the rigging. I think there should have been another set of tackles to return the slide forward to firing position. Probalby rings on the slide and two more near the front of the base.

John, That's for the rear pivit pin. The gun could be rotated and then pinned at either the front or the back.

Augie, You're moving right along again. Popeyes picking up the pace. Sjors is being Sjors. Once more all is well in the world. Lovely standing rigging, by the way, which helps make everything well again.

Patrick, Getting the ratlines done is a milestone, though it feels like a millstone when you're in the middle of them.. I'm looking forward to see the full ship pictures.

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.
