    Frank - let him finish the build before you get him started on another project... :)

    I think the decks look great. Can't wait to see them in the hull.
  3. lambsbk
    It is looking very nice Denis.

    Steps look fantastic Rich. I have a lot of clean up to do as well. I take consolation in the fact that our camera's and head magnifier's will be much more discerning than the un-aided eye when the build is under glass. Nice work.

    I'll be following with you on this Denis. I have just put primer on my lower mast sections. I have had no time to work her lately. It is nice to see your United States moving along. Double check that deck fit. The hull on my build needed some fine tuning port to starboard to allow the deck to fit laterally. I think the large molded hull sections have a little heat warpage...at least on my kit.

    Rich: Just catching up on your log. I have loved reading it. A beautiful ship you are making.

    Very clean and neat Augie.
  8. lambsbk
    Beautiful Augie.

    If those life events take you near Charleston you know where I live. Take care my friend.

    Evan, very nice work as is usual for this build. I am also very impressed that you were able to muscle that 1 piece gun deck into the formed hull. Superb.

    Obviously there is shipwright's blood flowing through those veins...
  12. lambsbk
    Ya. You gotta watch that 'multi-build bug thing' from Denis.

    MIchael (md1400cs) posted this link for cannon. I don't know if it will help or not but it is worth a look. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/amati-cannon-barrels.html

    Electric tooth brush: definitely thinking outside the box Daniel (and worth a try). I would put a soft semi-curved pad between the brush and the paper though. Ideas fly around here. I love this forum!

    Can I 'amen' that? My brain was getting tired of figuring out the 'beyond the box' steps so I took a mast break myself. Your build continues to look fantastic Andy.
  16. lambsbk
    Just a minor update. I really was getting tired of thinking through getting these decks together and aligned so I took a break and started to glue the mast pieces together. I did get them fairly straight but the real chore is getting the flash trimmed after gluing and drying. I'll get some pics up later.

    Hello Rick. I still have a few spares if anyone needs them...just send me a PM.
  18. lambsbk
    Ahh...I do see the difference. Thanks. I did not realize the messenger rope diameter was so unwieldy.
  19. lambsbk
    Beautiful work Alexandru. A work of art... I do have a question though - and I may show my lack of knowledge here a bit... The anchor cable in the pic above is engaged to the capstan but I thought the cable was hauled by means of a messenger cable attached to the anchor cable. Food for thought.

    Very nice and clean looking Len.
  21. lambsbk
    I have to say Augie from the pics it really is a work of art - beautiful.
  22. lambsbk
    The gold makes it stand out. I practice a lot on my spare model as well. I HAVE to. It's been years since I got one together. Keep at it Kim.
  23. lambsbk
    I used a very small brush and a large magnifier on the detail. Before you do that though you may want to prime and paint the black plastic as well. I did not - but wish I did. It allows you to go back and paint the black over any mistakes later. Mask off your beautiful copper paint job with Frog tape before spraying the primer. Since I did not paint the black plastic I have limited options. I.e., when I have a little excess paint overflow my only choice is to scrape it off the plastic. It works but it leaves some scratch marks as well.
  24. lambsbk
    Well. I've heard of 'snow birds' for the northern winter folk in the south but I don't know what you call a southerner flying up north in the dog days of summer - I guess 'smart'. ...better let go here...hijack territory approaching.

    That is very clever Jay. Nice tip.

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.
