    As far as I can tell there were different methods used and either of your choices would work fine. I tried the four methods, which I found the most often, and finally selected the one I liked best for my situation. I hope this helps. Thomas

    Bob, Mike and Jesse, thank you so much for your kind comments! Thomas
  25. Gahm
    What a beautiful place! I envy you 🙂 Thomas
  26. Gahm
    Your carronade looks very good! And I agree, the Syren rope makes a big difference in the overall appearance. Thomas
  27. Gahm
    Thank you Dowmer and NovaStorm, and thanks for all the likes! Your feedback and your kind words are highly appreciated! And you are right, 'the devil is always in the details' 🙂, but this is also where the fun is. Thomas

    Finally the changes to the stern of my Syren are finished. The gun ports are closed (img 1), the long guns are back in place and rigged (imgs 2 and 3), and the jolly boat is in its final position (imgs 4 – 8). Thomas Img_01 Img_02 Img_03 Img_04 Img_05 Img_06 Img_07 Img_08

    Beautiful planking, B.E.! Thomas
  30. Gahm
    It always looks very impressive when the whole battery is in place for the first time! Your Syren got her teeth now 🙂 Thomas
  31. Gahm
    Simply beautiful, B.E.! You probably mentioned it somewhere, is the upper part of the hull made of cherry wood? Thomas

    Your Winchelsea is a beauty! A pleasure to follow your build log! Thomas

    You have done such a beautiful job with your Syren so far that you would be far better off using some good looking rope (see for example Chuck's Syren shop) instead of the kit provided nylon stuff. Most of the kit material I just use for prototyping 🙂 (and that even included the bass wood - for planking I bought new bass wood strips which I carefully selected for grain and coloration). In my opinion the main investment is not so much the money we have to spend now and again for good material but rather the time we invest in our models. Thomas
  35. Gahm
    Wonderful job on those quarter galleries, Bob! Thomas
  36. Gahm
    Congratulations, you finished one of the most difficult parts of the Syren build. It took me for ever to get this done 🙂 Thomas

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.
