    Very inspiring. Can’t wait. Perhaps background checks should be done on customers lol.

    Wow. For real? Who does this? It’s not like your rope is going to break the bank.🤦‍♂️

    Incredible work of art!

    Some forward progress on chapter 12 tonight, I began fitting the headrails and head timbers. Precision work but I think it’s starting to fit pretty well. Had to add some material to one side of the aft head timber but it will get painted so it should work out.

    Yes I’ll be using AYC for the planking. Probably do the wales the same as the POB model.

    Moving into chapter 2 I’ve attached the frieze panels and added the forward false sub deck for fairing reference. Now it’s time to primer and prepare the gunports for paint and line off the upper hull for planking. Finally it will begin to look like Portland!

    Thank you Chris.

    Someone’s got their own dedicated workbench again. Will be back at Winnie again…slowly, in between working on and designing Portland. Looking forward to finishing this awesome project!

    Excellent precision work Dusan! Looking forward to your framing work! JJ

    Thanks guys. It’s slowly starting to look like something resembling a Portland class ship.

    Port side mostly complete now. Some minor block sanding to do now and then permanently attach the frieze panels and prep for planking.

    Excellent work Ben!

    Getting closer on the stbd side. The oscillating dremal is a life saver! Should have the stbd side finished tomorrow and be well into the port side.

    That looks wonderful Edward! Great work you’re doing! JJ

    I’ve started fairing the hull, still a long way to go and Pear sands like cement but slow and steady wins the race. Hoping to have it completed within a week or so.

    Thank you Richard. Should have some more updates soon. Thank you Linus.

    Nice work Dusan. Framing looks good. Almost to the fun parts
  18. scrubbyj427
    You and me both.
  19. scrubbyj427
    Thank you Dusan, at this point I’m trying to stay ahead of You and Ben lol.

    Finally back to work on the model, I finished the last remaining Hawes pieces and now I’m moving onto finishing up the gunports and fairing caps. Chapter one is almost finished and then I can move on to fairing the hull.
  21. scrubbyj427
    Looking good Dusan. Laying out the gunport templates in advance is a great idea.
  22. scrubbyj427
    Great start on the frames Ben. Those perpendicular ones go pretty quick once the char is off.
  23. scrubbyj427
    That looks really good Ben, those ports turned out very well. Looking forward to seeing some frames now!
  24. scrubbyj427
    Looking good Ben.
  25. scrubbyj427
    Nicely done Dusan!

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.
