    Another idea, is a diorama you could call "after the storm" she looks like she rode out a hurricane, pretty cool looking if you take it in a "storm damage" context. Especially the top down photo looks like she is sitting in calm water at a dock, . I can only imagine sailors from the era dealing with a similar mess after riding a storm. I look forward to seeing her restored.

    OK, completed masts, shrouds, ratlines, catheads rigging, anchors & bouys, forstays, fore running rigging, fabricated booms & gaffs I think that captures most... Next up rigging booms, gaffs, yards, backstays Gotta give a shout out to "Syren" co, their blocks are awesome! though I need to buy more needle threaders, I only get about 2-4 blocks esp the smaller 2mm and 3/32 before threader wire breaks.

    Its good to be back and modeling, I'm continuing my Hannah build after being shelved for 5 years.

    After a 5 year "shore leave" I'm back I'll call restart date July 2020, its good to get back into it, got distracted fishing and a couple moves makes it hard to work on. Masting completed, rigging in process, will post some pics soon.

    Maybe 60 meters is the actual vessel length and kit is .25 scale? try Model Expo, they sell flags

    Dye before sewing or the hems will soak up too much and darken. I haven't tried dyeing but have heard of some using coffee to good effect. Ken

    When dealing with this issue I run a single lanyard and tighten to my planned tension. This determines how many twists the line does at that tension. I then reverse the twists to the correct count, wrap the lanyard and apply tension and everything straitens-out. Ken

    Masts are typically raked aft to some degree, but it can vary widely, you need to refer to the plans for the angle. If you don't have the info, someone on this site should be able to provide the info on the Bounty. If you change the thread title to be specific question regarding the Bounty mast rake angle, you might get a quicker answer. Ken

    I believe the bands on the powder kegs were also made of copper instead of iron to prevent any risk of a spark

    There is a miter guide available through dremel as well, they sell it for about $12 if I remember correctly. Ken

    I believe brushing on works better than immersion because brushing limits the amount of reaction and thickness of black. with immersion, too much black can build up and it loses and adhesion to the surface. Just a thought though based upon my own experience blackening Ken

    They're not a hard as they look, just get a good pair of really small needle nose pliers. I have to admit though, I hate blackening metal, its my least favorite part of ship modeling. BTW craft shops sell black wire in their jewelry section that works well for fabricating your own hooks. Ken

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.
