6-pounder, Royal Navy cannon barrel - George III era
scrubbyj427 replied to Gabek's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
I’m definitely going to keep these in mind for down the road. -
Beautiful work Siggi! Everything looks perfect! Your Tiger build is my primary source of inspiration for my Portland model.

Hi Fred, Yes it is, it needs some revising as I’ve learned more since I modeled the bowsprit, but you get the idea. Winnie should be very similar, I’m sure Chuck knows way more. Im flying home to begin cutting the first part of the model. I’ll be assembling two prototypes and will be posting updates very soon. Stay tuned!

Beautiful work Fred! Excellent idea with the balsa and your fairing looks really good from here. As Chuck Pointed out early on, it’s very important to get those frames all faired up to the right thickness. This should be a great build. You should be able to contain your bowsprit in the structure that comes down from the bitts, this should allow you to partially plank the forecastle deck. i have not looked at the drawings for Winnie but I’m betting it’s very similar to a 4th rate. There would obviously be structure where the end of the bowsprit would fit into.

I think the trumpeter 1/200 is probably the best on the market currently, yet still requires modifications if you want to be really accurate. But out of the box it appears to build into a nice Titanic. Olympic and Britannic are also possible with modifications.

Kit review 1:48 La Renommée section - CAF Model
scrubbyj427 replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
Very cool little kit! It looks like a very well designed project. Thanks for sharing! -
Looking very nice Glenn. Your railings look very good, tricky to install, no doubt. Well done. I didn’t even glue my QG roofs/rails on until the end of ch 11 I think! I knew they were doomed had i not.

Hi Alan, haha I hear what you’re saying. I was more referring to SE FL, I just moved out of Boynton and had to drive and deal with Miami and FTL traffic daily… that’s certainly nothing like what you describe! I always liked the west side much more. Miami/Lauderdale area is definitely a zoo, I lived in green acres at one point and traffic was backed up all the way up there. JJ

Well Done Steve! She looks great! Chapter 12 really is the icing on the cake. Congratulations on completing your Winnie (well almost). Are you going to drive her down there or attempt to fly?

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.
