    I have no intention of laying any planking on the decks. I put that little board under the front wheels of the guns simply because some wheels fell into the gaps between the beams.

    Thank you Druxey! I intend, if I am able, to mount only the low masts up to the pigeon with the shrouds

    I disassembled and reassembled everything, the binnacle of the bell and railing because it was not perfectly centered:

    Today finally the 4 volumes of the Swan class that I had ordered have arrived. However, I was surprised because I believed that the drawings and plans were included in the volumes in order to start building the model. Anyone know where I can buy the Pegasus drawings? Can you help me, please?

    Thanks for the compliments! You are far too generous! I completed the structure of the formwork and the castle:

    Once the artillery was finished, I mounted the rudder and started the shroud holders:

    Where can I see your build?

    I am not in a hurry, I have no problems waiting because I know it is worth it: I just wanted to know if at least the order had been received ..... Thanks for your answers!

    Can anyone give me news of the SeaWatchbooks site also advertised on the home page? On December 18th, after having laboriously put aside the necessary money like the ants, I placed an order for the 4 volumes of the Swan Class that I had long wanted to have. Unfortunately I have not had any feedback to date; I tried to send some emails to the address indicated, but nobody answered me. Do you know if there are any problems? I hope I haven't thrown away my savings .....

    it's not just lead. is an alloy of lead and antimony. Structurally it is much harder than lead. It comes from some typefaces that were used in old printers that a dear friend gave me

    After casting the 8 lb guns I had to redo the silicone rubber mold for the 18 lb guns:

    I started building artillery on this frigate. The first idea was to make a silicone rubber mold and pour a two-component resin into it, but it takes too long for each gun. So I decided to make them in lead alloy which has a very low melting temperature. I made the two masters in brass: In the meantime, I started building the carts for the 18-pound guns:

    I managed to build the grand scale:

    those mini-chisels are handcrafted. I got them, through a dear friend, from an acquaintance of his. I only know that they come from Russia, that they are expensive, I paid for them in advance and they arrived after about six months. But they are excellent !!!

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.
