    Thank you wallace, its turned out better than I thought - but its one of those things with weathering - just do it in thin layers till you reach what you are happy with. OC.

    Next I decided to tackle the little side project - the pearls small shore boat, this is a kit in itself and comes all together on a fret with everything there, first off I cut both hull sides away and did a bit of tidy work inside and out to remove a couple of injection marks and to give the inside walls a bit of texture. Next off I worked on the lower deck fitting - this was aslo worked on a bit then I applied a couple of coats of bluff paint, then after drying with the hairdryer I mixed up a watery mix of dark grey/black and just brushed it on in a rought fashion - several light coats with drying between coats, and the final result is a weathered old deck. This is my current situation - here's the pics - OC.

    Evening all, some good progress on the pearl today - firstly I drilled out the holes in the hull, then I applied some glue and fitted the nine lid rope devices, I then turned the ship around and tied the ropes together that I had fitted before - just need trimming than painting. OC.

    Mind You............I could make the Anchors from 24c gold, old jack would want many many anchors then - probably a ship full. OC.
  17. Old Collingwood
    I only have two to do - pirates were stingy - if it wasn't gold they wern't interested.............. OC.
  18. Old Collingwood
    Mind you - not far to go now, after I fit those and attach the ropes/paint them, I can then move onto the anchors - im looking forward to doing the anchors. OC.

  22. Old Collingwood
    Wait till I get started on the standing rigging and shrouds - that will test my patience...........and everyone elses.😧 OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Indeed, also an element of monotony doesn't help. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    More work today - I cleaned up the lifting beams then drilled a hole in the center/top of each, then I cut nine lengths of rope and stiffened the ends with some pva, then I glued the ropes in place as before. Just a couple of pics - OC.

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.
