    Your capstan and companionway make a beautiful combination! Thomas

    Gorgeous detail! Thomas

    Your captain seems to be very satisfied with the shipyard's work . . . although he may have problems getting down the ladder to the companionway 😊 Thomas

    Rigging the whole battery with all the details is a lot of work, but the end result clearly is worth the effort! It looks fantastic! Thomas

    In my opinion the capstan is always a highlight of the deck features. Yours turned out very nicely! Thomas
  6. Gahm
    It is an unusual hull shape . . . but it really looks beautiful! Especially when it is as well done as in your model 🙂 Thomas

    This is one impressive model!! Thomas
  8. Gahm
    Beautiful! Thomas

    She looks fantastic, Bob! Thomas

    A wonderful model, B.E.! And a highly educational build log. It is a pleasure to follow along. Thomas

    I love your pictures of the finished carronades and the the "3rd rendition" of the gratings. Everything looks really good! Thomas

    I just caught up with your amazing progress. Your battery with the finished rigging looks great!! Thomas
  13. Gahm
    You clearly have become THE "go-to expert" for everything which is related to the Victory! 🙂 Thomas
  14. Gahm
    Your cutter looks great! Beautifully done! And I love your clinker planking idea . . . it is clearly worth remembering when building the next little ship 🙂 Thomas

    Your model is a wonderful example for outstanding craftsmanship and precision work. Thomas

    As far as I know rope coils were used at occasions where the ship should look good and well cleaned up, such as for example inspections (see images below). They were not used in battle (danger of jamming the recoil motion). Most of the time, when the guns were not used, the gun tackles were "stowed away" using arrangements as shown in Gregory's images, and which I used for the Syren long guns. So as Gregory already said, what you use depends on what you want to present in your model, and also what you like best 😉 Thomas

    Your gun model is just a miracle of details and precision . . . and I don't even dare to think at what scale you are doing this! Outstanding work! Thomas

    Thank you, Schooner! The kit-supplied carronades are a bit on the skinny side, also when compared to the plans. I bought the ones on my Syren from Caldercraft and modified them a little. Thomas

    I am sorry, I meant the sled of the carronade. It has an additional ringbolt right behind the elevation screw for this purpose. Thomas
  20. Gahm
    As far as I know the eye bolts were used to mount an additional tackle during battle to be able to move the gun/carronade back when needed (see image). Therefore I would adjust the location of the ring bolt on your model. For the rope coils diluted PVA will do fine. It also has the advantage that you can easily clean away superfluous glue with water as long as it is not yet dry. Thomas

    Beautiful work, Kevin! Thomas
  22. Gahm
    Your batterie looks great! And to get the Caldercraft carronades exactly dead center is close to impossible on the Syren. But from most ankles it does not really show, and in my opinion these carronades are worth it! Thomas
  23. Gahm
    Good decision! And the serving machine will come in useful down the road. I use it all the time. Thomas
  24. Gahm
    Amazing work, Chuck! It will be impossible to achieve anything like this with 'normal' carving skills! Thomas
  25. Gahm
    The framing looks really good! And your progress is amazing. How is the quality of the wood? 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.
