    I did mine in white as I’ve seen some other models finished this way, I liked it at the time, In hindsight I would now prefer them left natural as Chuck did and on the contemporary model. But it’s not bad and I can definitely live with it.
  24. scrubbyj427
    Chapter 3 concluded. I finished up by adding the small boxwood strip (.040x.040”) on the upper edge of the lower QG roof. These go between the columns and above the windows. Will begin chapter 4 in march which will be the main gundeck and fittings as well as spirketting for that level and I’m thinking possibly gun port doors.
  25. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Glenn. would definitely love to see you build one eventually.
  26. scrubbyj427
    That looks really good Steve. I’d use a matte clear coat like Chuck recommends. I noticed that the dye would come off on my hands when handling those parts during assembly. But very nice results!

    I just updated my website I have 1 Portland kit 2 Winnie ch 1 1 Winnie ch 2 2 Winnie starters 2 capstans working on more

    Hey guys, Im going to be winding down at the shop today as I have to get back to work on Friday (I still have to maintain a real job), so not much production for 6 weeks. As of today I’ll have another Portland kit up (they take about 1.5-2 days to produce), I’m also going to try and crank out some Winnie chapters as well as a couple capstans if possible. I’ll be available while away and I’ll keep the store open but I won’t be making anything until I return in early march. JJ

    Thank you Kenny, that was my goal from the beginning when I designed them. I think it worked.
  30. scrubbyj427 started following Speedwell Battle Station Kit 1752 by CiscoH - Syren Ship Model Company - 3/8" or 1:32
  31. scrubbyj427
    Almost finished with Ch 3. Need to add some strips to the QGs, a smaller frieze on the QG roofline and the stbd side upper molding and scrolls.
  32. scrubbyj427
    Nicely done Steve. That looks really good!
  33. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Guys. It’s getting there. Gary, if there was ever a green light for ship modeling being displayed in the living room, Coming from the admiral that was certainly the best comment one could ever hope for!
  34. scrubbyj427
    Few more Portland updates. I’m getting closer to finishing the QG’s. tomorrow I’m going to work on the lower QG frieze work that goes on the lower roof along with the thin strip of molding, also i have some boxwood scrolls to add! Should be a fun one. JJ
  35. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Kenny. They are almost complete. Still some components to design and add. Updates soon.

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.
