    Glad the piece arrived !
  2. MrBlueJacket
    Now I mounted the hull on the workboard. Ready to start all the deck furniture. Really coming along quite nicely!
  3. MrBlueJacket
    And painted. I used red oxide automotive lacquer primer for the color.
  4. MrBlueJacket
    Here's the hull, masked off at the waterline, ready for paint.
  5. MrBlueJacket
    So here's the dory, all finished and placed on the pilot house.

    Added: Jgodsey - Mary Taylor John Gummersall - Lincolnville Wherry

    Of course you can always call me up. I've added this build to the list of people who will get 10% off their next build when completed! Nic

    And while the airbrush was out, painted the bottom of the dory with Depot Buff color.
  9. MrBlueJacket
    So I finally bit the bullet and taped off the hull and painted the green. Next will come masking the waterline and painting the anit-fouling red.
  10. MrBlueJacket
    Yes, the workboard was an old baseboard that got ruined.
  11. MrBlueJacket
    Here's the companionway and the gallows getting painted. The gallows will stay grey, and the companionway will be white.
  12. MrBlueJacket
    And its time to drill the keel and get the model mounted before doing any more finishing, just in case I have to make surgery to mount it. luckily, it mounted just fine on the workboard.
  13. MrBlueJacket
    Next step is fitting the rudder to the sternpost. The plans call for tapering the sternpost a bit, then tapering the back edge of the rudder as well.
  14. MrBlueJacket
    Here is the hatch cover for the hold.
  15. MrBlueJacket
    Yes. Yes I am. Nic
  16. MrBlueJacket
    Nicely done.
  17. MrBlueJacket
    And the caprail and spray rail
  18. MrBlueJacket
    Quick bit of detail for inside the pilot house
  19. MrBlueJacket
    In the meantime, built the propane tank, X-band radar, and muffler/exhaust as well as painting the pilot house.
  20. MrBlueJacket
    And, with the keel in place, looking good!
  21. MrBlueJacket
    Moving up to the bow, the stem fits pretty good, I think.
  22. MrBlueJacket
    Yes, it was only one more round of primer/putty. Here's a shot of the rudder and sternpost, and the rudder hole drilled into the hull.
  23. MrBlueJacket
    So I thought I might as well add the deck before shooting the green paint......
  24. MrBlueJacket
    Filled in with auto glazing putty and sanded it down. Hopefully only one more round of primer and putty?
  25. MrBlueJacket
    Thank you! Next is masking off for the green paint on the hull.

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.
