I find myself studying Endymion on the regular, probably one of the finest most complete contemporary models out there! That quarter gallery is so attractive, I would love to build this one. I’m surprised there are no drawings at all. Both of your friezes look fantastic! I’m slightly more drawn to the left but not by much.

Beautiful work Fred! Congratulations on your cheerful, she’s a wonderful achievement! Looking forward to your next build, whatever it may be. A fully rigged Winnie would be very cool to see.

Excellent tutorial Waldemar! Apologies for being late to the party. I will try this on my Portland model. I individually rotated my deadeyes one at a time, in 3 separate planes and simply eyeballed it. This is incredible! I’ve also never managed to create lines(pipe) like that before, sometimes I can by sweeping but that doesn’t always work out well. Great function of rhino you have discovered!

Those coils look great Fred, very convincing. I used to make them a similar way but once placed on the model I would place an appropriate sized dowel at the bottom of the coil that was weighted, then I would apply diluted PVA or poly and simply wait for them to dry, extremely tedious but it gave the impression of gravity doing its job very well.

Chuck, I think the deadeyes look great and very convincing, I do however like your wood ones and I’m partial to wood, even though it requires more work. I will try out some of your new ones just to see how they look in person but I don’t think they will make it on my winnie, she’s got a full compliment of fresh boxwood ones already, it will have to be my next project.

Job well done Fred, what an excellent model of cheerful you have built. No doubt you are ready to tackle Winnie and I’m really looking forward to seeing her back on your work bench!

Thank you Chuck! I forgot to ask you what blocks I need to rig my 6pdr guns🤦♂️ 1/8” Thank you Jim, I have had nothing but model boat free time this season! Thank you Matt, rigging them was definitely no small task. I think the cherry does look good even though not correct for a dockyard model. I have to say though, I could have gone either way, bare AYC or painted, I thought they all look great. I think the bare AYC shows the most details though.

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.
