Your quarter badges shape up very nicely! They are tricky pieces to make! Thomas -
That boat is really coming together very nicely! The planking makes a big difference! Thomas

B.E., just looking at the pictures (without having read your text) my first reaction was that this little ship is shaping up very, very nicely! As the builders of our models we all have the problem that we see 'imperfections' which nobody else will ever see . Thomas

Gun rigging continued . . . 11 down and 7 to go. A little sign of life . . . with more guns being rigged additional deck furniture could be permanently mounted: the ladders, five rail, and pump. The deck starts to get a ‘finished’ look (images 1 - 4) . Thomas Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 -

Jason, Chance, Richard, thank you for your interest and feedback! It is always highly appreciated! Chance, I drilled the holes through the keel when the rough framing was just finished and I still had easy access to the keel. The diameter was determined by the width of the keel. I inserted in each hole a 2 inch long brass pipe which went through the keel and way up into a basswood filler block. The 2 counterparts to these brass pipes were mounted on my stand. Each pair of brass pipes consisting of the piece in the keel and the piece on the stand were connected via a solid brass rod which fills the inside of the brass pipes. That makes for a pretty stable connection. Whether this will be the final stand solution is still undecided. But these holes are not visible and they give me a lot of options for the final stand design Thomas -
Wonderful job, Mike! A little master piece! 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.
