    Hello all, I decided to have a bash at the forward gun port lids, these were made up from thin planking - I joined two lengths together that when joined they were the correct width of the gun ports, when glued I cut them to the correct length. After a little sanding to get a snug fit I placed them and glued them from the inside, after applying some heat to speed up securing I fashioned some hinges from very very thin strips of off cuts, next I applied a few coats of dull black and red ocre edges and inside. I also finished working on an inside frame for the poop deck stairs. Here are a few pictures. OC.

    Yep on both the forecastle deck and poop deck, the bits continue through the deck down onto the main gun deck, also under the poop deck there should have been the frame and shoe to take the bowsprit, but due to the construction on my kit, this part is boxed in. OC.

    Think you will need about 10-20 servings for all your shipmates on here OC.

    Thanks pat, I kind of noticed it after I had fitted it and thought "damn silly thing to do" It dd fall appart whe I moved it, but luckily it just needed re gluimg when the posts were positioned. OC.

    Evening everyone, after fitting my forecastle bits I came across an "upss moment" - I had the bits to close to the edge of the forecastle deck, not leaving much room for the ships bell/frame, so I decided to re fit it on the other side of the mast, and instead fitted two single bit frames without the cross piece. I then turned my attention to the rear poop deck - this has a ladder running up from the quarter deck, up through the poop deck, I had to cut this out with my sharp knife then a little sanding, next I constructed a frame for the opening and glued the four pieces in place, it will need filing to make the edges square and smooth. Here are a few pics. OC.

    Looking good, you are on the right track, the thing I have discovered with wood kit building - its all about practice and repertition, the more kits and time at the bench - the better you/I and everyone become. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Superb. OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Did you sort out your smaller boats for her.? OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Ok everyone I give in here are some pics - the bits show the glue waiting to dry. Oh foregot to mention - the captains cabin facia was made up form oddments I had, then put together and painted. 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.
