    Channels coming up next.

    Nice and relaxing getting onto something easy. Side entry port and steps. Tape to stop any rogue steps disappearing inside the hull. The elm tree pump lining flew off across the room but I was amazed to find it again. Fenders and chesstrees next.

    Quarter galleries nearly finished. Just more brass profile to go, not my favourite so far. I gave up on masking tape for the black panels for between the windows so used some 0.5 x 3mm I had from a previous model.

    Going great there. It's a good kit to build. Go by the plans for measurements not the color booklet.

    This Tamiya primer works well.

    Update.

    Thanks a lot Graham, I agree on the bow and stern.

    Next project quarter galleries. Lanterns back to the safe place.
  22. kiwiron
    Start of the Lantern brackets. I thought the 0.7 wire was a bit flimsy but the choice of bigger wire was forced on me anyway by breaking off the 0.7 drill bit right in the centre of the lantern base. I had to use the 1.5 wire as the 1mm has gone walking. Trying to get the trophy of arms looking reasonable. One of the Lance heads broke off but the sheet under my work bench caught it.

    Good job, I saw them on Robert's amazing build then checked the plans. I'm sure that's not all in store in the future. Also no mention of the stern brass profiles but luckily I have got your photo's and Robert's to go by. Ron.

    Above the termination foot to the right in the gap just below the top plank the plans show timberheads not mentioned in the instructions.
  27. kiwiron
    Great job. I have found things on the plans not in the instructions as well. Maybe at the end it will be where are these left over parts supposed to go. Ron.
  28. kiwiron
    Thanks for the likes folks. Thanks a lot Dave, as good as I can do it but always something I could have done better. I was just getting better at the cannons when I got to the last one. Ron.

    A bit more done on the stern fascia.

    Amazing work Graham. Thanks for the channel supports warning.

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.
