Hi Jaager, I understand what you are saying and I’ve definitely considered this for production. I think for the current prototype that I am producing I will likely stuff balsa filler blocks in there and use the verticals as a fairing guide. I hope to resume work soon. JJ

That is awesome. I take it your inserting separately cut panels that you have hand sanded? It looks very good.

scrubbyj427 replied to modeller_masa's topic in Wood ship model kits
As a moderate to advanced builder You can spend $1700 dollars on the full Winchelsea build and have a fully authentic model of an English frigate that is not only authentic but perfectly to scale and almost indistinguishable from a contemporary model or you could buy the Indefatigable kit from vanguard for even less than $1700 and still have a better more authentic scale model that accurately represents a 44 gun heavy frigate. As a new builder I’d be looking to cut my teeth on sub $500 models that I wont sweat if they turn out poorly. This model makes no sense to me at that price. -
Looking forward to seeing your stern develop, Mark. I really like your drawing of how you plan to lay out all the details. I wasn’t aware that Bellona was refit from the original design. That looks really good.

Finishing up the stern structure, there is just 4 more pieces I need to add these are here to help with planking, the lower pieces have a fairing reference line as you can see below the horizontal pieces get installed first and after you have sanded the lower pieces they can then be installed. You can see the notches cut into the top, these just fit right under those frames and should line up with the bottom Of frame 25. now I will completely fair out the stern and prepare the counter for planking. A .25”x.0625” rabbet strip will also need to be added to the stern. Happy sanding! JJ

Hi Allan, I’ve carelessly painted cast metal figures in the past with decent results from 10’ away, but I know there is a whole niche of the hobby out there that involves these figures, that with the right camera are almost convincing enough to be real humans.

Thank you Siggi. I’ve had to build two models, one complete on the computer and one that’s at my workbench. The goal is to get them as close to exactly the same as possible!

This will be my first shot at painting a figure like that, so there may be a couple do overs. I do plan to remove from the base and build a thin one out of AYC. The current base puts him close to an additional 6”+ taller at scale. These figures really put the models in perspective.

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.
