    Think I’m going to jump in tomorrow or the next day. Most of my tools are still in the mail. But I got her out of her crate and back on the bench.

    Glad to hear you’re getting better Ron. You shouldn’t have any problems unloading this gem.

    Hi Ben, the gun deck will be complete with all the 24 pdrs as well as cabins, chain pumps and fittings. It will be fully viewable through the framed upper deck with minimal planks. As soon as the hull is planked I will begin working on the gun deck. Im looking forward to making some progress on my Winnie as well, it’s been way too long and I’m so close to the end!
  12. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Glenn. Hope to be working on Winnie in a couple weeks!

    Quick update: Planking above the wales is complete on the port side and all the gun ports are cleaned up and painted. Need to finish a few details on the stbd side channel wale planking and that’s it for now. My Winnie awaits me back home! Crating model and shipping to mainland and its eventual trip across the country.

    Beautiful display Glenn! That looks awesome!

    Looking really good Ben! Very clean work.

    I think I’m going to, 17th century Dutch ships always grab my eye. Perhaps I can collaborate with Ab and produce any one of the wonderful models/plans he’s made.
  18. scrubbyj427
    Hi Brian, ha! nothing larger in the pipeline as of now, but seriously considering another 4th rate from the 17th century and possibly a smaller 17th century Dutch vessel. Have to see how Portland finishes up and if anyone even builds it. Chucks work, specifically Winchelsea, is a major source of inspiration in designing Portland.

    Hi Ab, thank you for the info. I think I’ll take a stab at this one on my computer first. This or one of the ships in your book. I love the shape of these 17th century Dutch ships. JJ

    Your model is coming along nice! Well done on the framing, it looks wonderful!
  21. scrubbyj427
    Hi Ab, Is there more information available on this ship? Like deck drawings/layouts profile, carvings, gallery’s… everything to build as you have? Your model is incredible! I would love to build this. JJ
  22. scrubbyj427
    Very nice joinery! The pear wood looks really good. I’m sold!
  23. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Glenn! Thank you Gregory, if these prove successful I think I will do something similar on my next design. Indeed they are very difficult to construct and require a lot of patience and double checking to ensure that both sides are identical and located exactly the same. My aim is to make this part of the build a little easier without sacrificing detail.
  24. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Yves, you are correct. The only foreseeable resin part on the model will be the QG’s, outfitted and surrounded by boxwood and AYC parts. There may be other fittings along the way that I will possibly offer in resin.
  25. scrubbyj427
    Hi Giampiero, thanks for looking in and your compliment. Yves is correct, the drop is simply a test piece to make any necessary adjustments before it is carved in wood. However the basic QG’s will be printed and outfitted with many boxwood parts, I guarantee that once complete, they will be indistinguishable from a wooden construction. My reason for this is the QG’s on this model are very complex and I didn’t want to leave anything to chance for the builder. I began designing and could offer a wooden construction alternative for the QG’s if there was enough demand. These were an extremely complex assembly in an effort to keep everything lined up. JJ

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.
