Good day all - Happy Holidays to all, First day back on the pearl in what feels like ages, any way I decided to carry on working from the inside - out, this ment working on the canons starting by assembling the canon/carriages, then I fixed the breach ropes and working on two at a time - I applied a few coats of paint then weathered them, I also fitted a thin strip of wood under the carriage to aid gluing them down to the deck. I used the same trick as the previous canons - I drilled two fine holes through the bulkhead to take the breach ropes. So two have been placed and glued down, when they are fixed I will place the breach ropes with the right amount of sag - then glue them through the holes. Just two pics folks.

I read that they have stripped back some of the paintwork and found traces of the different color - hence why they have re painted her in that color. OC.

Reminds me almost like the color applied to British Fources vehicles during the Gulf War - it was then called desert pink. OC.

Its the fresh color that the actual ship has been re painted from historic paint tests. 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.
