    That’s all I hear when I look at it...and most of the models in the Rogers collection for that matter.
  2. scrubbyj427
    Haha starting another one ASAP! My sanity depends on it. Maybe I’ll order a laser cutter and really get dangerous.

    Let’s do Minerva next Chuck. I’ve seen that model a couple times too, in fact I’ve seen the whole collection many times and it’s amazing how many details I did not pay attention to until I started building Winnie.

    Will the moulding continue Through the port lid?
  5. scrubbyj427
    I thought you did a cherry hull Rusty??? I’m Tempted to build another Winnie after I finish mine in the same wood as you used, love the colors. JJ

    Hey Guys, both ships are coming along nice. If you’re going for the Darker look I’d follow rustys log, he used cherry and Caldercraft red orche, which I used as well. That will definitely give you the dark red color you’re searching for. JJ http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024768/Fittings/AP9116.htm

    Looking nice and clean!

    I Guess I need another excuse to watch master and commander, take some notes on lighting.
  9. scrubbyj427
    Very interesting, guess I never payed that much attention but makes sense, I’ve always looked at the lower decks on larger vessels and all their ports and assumed the same for the smaller ones. what do you know about lighting on a frigate like Winnie? I’m thinking about lighting up the covered parts of the gun deck rather than lights in the case but I want to install it period correct. Any ideas of how it would have been lit and how the fixtures would look? JJ

    Chuck, why only the 5 gunport doors per side on Winnie? Is this because of the contemporary model or would the real Winnie only of had 5/side? JJ

    Thanks for the Likes and comments guys, I appreciate it. Ron- I do have an idea in mind for a display case and it will definitely go in one ASAP for protection. I’m tossing around the idea of lighting the model this time rather than the case. I need to find period correct lighting arrangements before I begin though. Yours will get there before you know it, the planking is the biggest hurdle but sets the bar for the rest of the model, so go slow! I’m so glad I did (7 months I think). dvm- I did not modify the frieze color at all, I think it’s a lighting angle. I did however drown them in WOP once glued down which I think may have made them appear a bit darker/wet. The blue on the upper transom is painted though, in Celeron blue acrylic, I bought a few different bottles of it until I found one that matched the frieze pretty close, it definitely got darker once I applied the WOP, I think I can live with it though.

    Getting close to finishing up chapter 3, have a few loose ends to clean up and some moulding to fix, But here’s some fresh updates still showing wet WOP. JJ

    Those guns look outstanding! I can’t wait to add some deck details. Can’t wait to see this become available!
  14. scrubbyj427
    Looks good Chuck. Were the accommodations below deck on the Winnie? Also will there be doors going on the access to the q galleries?
  15. scrubbyj427
    Stunning work! Wow.
  16. scrubbyj427
    Looks Great Chuck! Can’t wait to get my hands on this. JJ
  17. scrubbyj427
    Looks excellent! Would love to build this in the future. JJ
  18. scrubbyj427
    Looks really good Greg. CA is definitely the way to go for the planking. I also edge glued mine with PVA, made quite the mess but made the seams look good. try laying your forward plank and aft planks first and then meet in the middle, it will give you a lot more wiggle room when you intersect the aft planks with the lower counter. I really struggled at first with that joint and decided to try that route and it made it a lot easier when you just have to make a filler plank in the middle instead of the tricky counter seam. JJ
  19. scrubbyj427
    Looks good. Time for the fun part now!
  20. scrubbyj427
    That looks really good Ron, nice curve on the framing battens. Follow it and your gunports will have a nice curved arrangement. JJ
  21. scrubbyj427
    Thanks guys, appreciate it. having a slight regression on the model currently, should work out ok though. JJ
  22. scrubbyj427
    Very nice! I think I need one of those. Looks like you assembled it? DIY cnc table? JJ
  23. scrubbyj427
    Thanks guys, but most of the credit needs to go to the University of Chuck! I’m just following directions. JJ
  24. scrubbyj427
    Thanks for the likes and comments guys. Moving onto the transom tonight, have a few corrections to make back there before I can proceed, should smooth afterwards. JJ
  25. scrubbyj427
    The stbd side was indeed a struggle, I won’t get into it too much but there was a lot of printing going on and some additional scraping and possibly some vocabulary, but it all worked out. Starting the transom this week and hoping to finish up chapter three within a couple weeks. JJ

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.
