    Mary Taylor. Look here:

    regarding rudder throw - either go further out on the servo arm or closer in at the rudder arm. Or both! Nic

    Add another "10% 0ff" of your next kit you buy from us! Good job! Nic

    You can also cut reliefs into the sternpost and rudder. Nic

    The answer is yes to all options. There is usually more than one way to achieve a goal. Nic
  16. MrBlueJacket
    No, just through the center would work. Nic
  17. MrBlueJacket
    The pins would be used to help fasten the carriages to the deck. The most logical placement would be through the crossbar at the rear, below where the quoin goes. Nic PS - The quoin is a wedge shaped piece with a handle, used to fine adjust the angle of the cannon.

    So photos can be deceiving. If the real guns were blackened, then I'd say your blackening would be accurate. Nic

    To my eyes, Avi's pix of the real cannon look very dark gray as opposed to flat black. Then there is the "scale effect" of distance, which means the further away you are, the more washed out colors become. People looking at your model from 2 feet away is like looking at the real thing from 20 feet away. Nic

    I think they look fine.

    Hi, That kit you bought in September 2021 was from the estate of a good customer of ours, Dr. Jack McD. who passed away and his wife wanted us to disburse his hobby stuff. When you finish this build thread, you will get a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic
  26. MrBlueJacket
    Exactly. You have to remove any solution, then of course dry them. Nic

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.
