    Hello usedtosail, The partner of a capstan was usually made of four pieces, fastened with clenched bolts. Two inner parts are parted in the middle to allow easily remove of them to lift the capstan for maintenance or some other purpose. Regards Alex

    The white wood represents the pine, that was generelly used for deck planking, the pear represents the oak, used for important structural planking, and is darker. As for me, specially by such wunderfull builds, the used wood does not matter, but the handwork, that is by marsalv simply incredible. I'm out of words. Regards Alex

    Hello, The model above shows a double capstan, the rings are for lifting and lowering. The fore jeer capstan on two decker ships can be lowered down to make room on upper deck for i.e. boat stowage. There was a room under the capstan called capstan room. Alex

    Hi Don, sorry, I are relatively sure I have read about 6 feet minimum length, but can't remember more where... I must not be exactly Steel, but was one of contemporary books. Alex

    original sources like Steel and Fincham states that planks should be not shorter than 6 feet.

    The 20 gun frigate Sphinx is not one of Enterprise Class, but of his own Sphinx Class: https://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/83710.html. She have had no guns on Quarterdeck, no solid bulwarks and no openings in the taffrail. But if anyone has payed for tihis it all does not matter

    Hello and thank you for warm words and likes! The "head pieces" (is it right term?) are usually represented on the contemporary models as one piece of wood. On the plans that show this area in detail, you can see a small rail attached: So I have tried to implement this: They are first fixed with a few drops of glue, because I still have to adjust the seats of ease in the corners Alex

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.
