    Nice blocks.

    I second the vote to hollow it out and not paint yourself into the corner of having to leave her upside down on deck.
  6. Sailor1234567890
    Looking great.
  7. Sailor1234567890
    Very nicely done.
  8. Sailor1234567890
    I like option #4 now. It's pretty nice. Looks very much like weathered Teak.
  9. Sailor1234567890
    Looks much nicer than the cast pewter one.

    You haven't even started on the needle gunning, priming and painting yet. There's a touch of paint on her to do I'd say.

    Another Cutty Sark. Excellent. Can't wait to see your progress.
  12. Sailor1234567890
    Agreed. She'll be sweet. Looking good.
  13. Sailor1234567890
    Simply amazing.

    Beautiful job.

    I want to bash a Lady Nelson in to Hornblowers Witch of Endore. I think she's the most suitable model for the task and she'd require very little modification. How do you find Lady Nelson? Instructions enough? Material of a reasonable quality? Difficulty level for a first timer? Thanks, Daniel

    Nenad, The row of ports were cut later in life. Deciding when you want your model to represent will determine how many to put. Forward there are 4 ports for the men in the focs'l. They were there from the beginning. I wouldn't put a row all the way along her hull. It looks wrong for a grand lady like her.
  19. Sailor1234567890
    Nenad, I think the lighter grey you first showed on her majesties' real deck. You get around the weathered deck but not weathered hull by telling yourself that no skipper will varnish his decks but he'll paint the ship. That allows the deck to weather but the rest of the hull to be improved from time to time as the mate sees fit.
  20. Sailor1234567890
    Yes, I'm looking forward to that privilege Adam. Since I spotted her for sale for you and all.....

    #3. If you can make it even lighter I'd do that. I'd want it to look weathered. If you're going for a like new look, then #2 might be best. #1 doesn't look right to my eye for some reason. Weathered teak can look very light grey. It goes very well with tarnished unpolished bronze or copper. A nice weathered green look with a grey deck. That's what I'd be going for. Our lady was a hard working Queen and as such would often have had a weathered appearance throughout her career. Particularly under the Portuguese.

    Nice job on mousing that hook. I can't imagine doing it at that scale.
  23. Sailor1234567890
    Nice job.
  24. Sailor1234567890
    I remember greasing one of those fairleads in the old Jean Parisienne. I spent a long time pumping several tubes of grease into the fairlead until she was loosened up enough and would roll properly again. They really are easy maintenance though.

    Looking back at my last post here, I didn't even tell you how cool I thought those shackles you made are. Nice job. They are really jewels.

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.
