    And finally 12! Easter brought the gift of time to rig guns! So now I will begin chapter 7 and then continue with the rest of the guns when I finish. Looking forward to getting some beams in place and completing my lantern project. JJ

    Looks like you could run both ways with it. But I agree with you, perhaps the modeler didn’t want to cut a nice run of moulding. And since it’s not actually functional I think aesthetics take priority. Also the molding and the steps seem to have similar profiles. I checked my drafts for Portland class and it shows the same thing.

    That looks really good, I think the dye is a much better way to go than black paint. I will definitely be using that next time.

    Those look really good. Often represented just as a slab of wood just glued on the side. I’m curious to see how the steps unfold.

    Excellent work Ben! Everything looks great!

    Your figurehead looks excellent Marsalv! In your cnc did you have to carve one side at a time and flip the figure over each time or did the machine cut at all angles in one pass? JJ

    Granado Looks very good Tom, well done on splitting the hull.

    And then there was six of them.... 30 something more to go!! as soon as I get six completed on the port side I plan to take a gun break and start my long awaited chapter 7 and also pick up and finish my lighting project, now that I can hang the individual lanterns.

    Hi Jack, any updates on Cumberland?
  11. scrubbyj427
    All three of them look good and I could go either way.

    I sympathize Frank... between work and family my Winnie has been reduced to a glacial pace, you will probably catch up with me soon. JJ

    Looking really good Frank! Excellent work.

    Looks really good. You’re plank terminations at the bow and the stern look really good too. I struggled with the ends where they meet the counter, it’s definitely not easy.

    @jmlyle CAF is a legit Chinese company and Tom appears to do a great job designing his own models and supporting his kits. The other Chinese kits you are referring to are likely pirated ones and therefore would be a mess. There are several build logs going on right now, you should check them out and decide for yourself. I will take a stab at one in the near future, just not sure which yet. But there are many on MSW that are satisfied with them.

    Thank you Don! I definitely studied your guns as an example to follow prior to starting mine.
  17. scrubbyj427
    Your planking looks soo good though! I don’t want to distract you from that! It will come together before you know it. This build is just a series of milestones.
  18. scrubbyj427
    Thanks Guys, I appreciate it. I’m not sure, but were you asking for a tutorial on how I did the guns? Or just stating that I already did it?
  19. scrubbyj427
    🤦‍♂️Lol I’m trying to trick myself with the numbers! One deck at a time.
  20. scrubbyj427
    Way to take away my steam lol! Well at least I get to skip the two in the back and the two way up front!
  21. scrubbyj427
    Thank you, I hope that helps you to make a clear decision no matter which route you take.
  22. scrubbyj427
    Two down...22 left to go! The crafty sailor 4mm photoetch hooks were a success so far, except I rigged one tackle backward... won’t make that mistake again. I’m going to try another method to fasten the hook to the block, I think I may have gotten it to close. Other than that, I’m pleased with the results. I’m getting better as I go but still seldom find time to work on my winnie, maybe I’ll schedule a vacation somewhere and pack the model up and go!
  23. scrubbyj427
    Beautiful model! Excellent work!
  24. scrubbyj427
    Wow! Amazing work Chuck! Brilliant design work! 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.
