    I've attached temporarily the channels in place. Learning all the time from your experience, I'd like to ask you my friends about the order of channels, deadeyes and chain-links assembly. I've read a relative post by Jim, but I did not realize exactly the right conscecutive steps of the whole procedure. Thank you in advance!!

    I've tried to improve the gunports profile this morning adding a second layer of red ochre paint.... Bedides the fact that I placed tamiya's tape for security, the accident of leakage to the outer (natural wood) bulwarks has happened thrice... After a couple of efforts to handle this problem I really felt that I liked that cherry-wood like "camouflage" appearance of the wood. Took the decision to extend that looking to the rest of the bulwarks using 1-2 drops of red ochre diluted in matt vallejo's varnish. I like the short-time results, I'll wait to apply a second layer tommorow trying to have a more uniform coverage of this strange-mixture and I'll see... In case of unwanted results, a more formal (walnut ?) painting of the wood will be one-way solution....

    Thanks to a good friend (and mate) of mine I can use the profile gauze and shape the channels curvature better. I've read the manual for channels placing, I consider that as a harmless procedure...

    Wow Jim sorry, I did'nt see its reference in you build log! Thanks for your help. Stergios

    Hi Jason, as I' m about to start the channels and drill the ringbolts holes etc Could you please please help to locate the "Rigging Period Ship Models" pages that illustrate the whole procedure? Thanks. Stergios

    Now, working on the pinrails skeleton....

    Hi Jim, thanks for sharing.
  11. drtrap
    Don't worry! My next, consecutive steps are: the pinrrails, the channels and finally the guns.
  12. drtrap
    Jason, as always your help and comments are so precious....

    Copy that, Vasileios (as aviators use to say... )! Thank you. Do stay joined with the company!!

    I think there is a mismatch between my kit's sheets as far as parts No 50 & 55 are concerned....
  15. drtrap
    I can't locate parts No 165 (4 pieces, casting) on my "3 of 7" plan... Could you please upload any relative photo for understanding better? Thanks
  16. drtrap
    Hi Mort, this was my point of concern. I think that Jason (so many steps ahead) knows better...
  17. drtrap
    Thank you again, Jason! By the way, from your experience what;s the best next step you advise me to follow: placing the pinrails etc or placing, fixing and rigging the cannons & carronades? Cheers!

    Building like a turtle.... The slots of the capping rails (that unfortynatelly I've permanently glued) are undersized comparing to the timberheads. Should I use my dremel for a bit of enlargement?
  19. drtrap
    Absolutely proffesional work Jason
  20. drtrap
    Jason, I've seen a type of spray for the dust at the yard... Is it an anti-dust type for compiouters etc? Some kind of them extrude small quantities of a liquid material (wich evaporates immediately) with the air, but I dont know whether is safe for the paint, varnish, etc...
  21. drtrap
    Thank you Jason, finally I did my own (custom-made) posterior capping rail.
  22. drtrap
    Lateral bulwark capping rails glued in place. I've left unglued only the anterior and posterior thirds just to have the option to manipulate the edges later to obtain a equally spaced placement on the bulwark's rim and a better symmetrical adaption on the anterior and posterior platforms respectively.
  23. drtrap
    Hello to everyone, I'm back again. Jim, Pete, I still wonder, did you use and glue in place the (somehow curved) standard posterior capping rail provided by the kit, or did you place another not so curved 2x2 wallnut plank? I'm about to fix it, but because of its curved shapeI can't place it "equally spaced" on the stern fascia. Thanks a lot
  24. drtrap
    Fully understood now, Jason. You know, many techniques and surgical procedures in shoulder arthroscopy use to enhance this kind of tip...
  25. drtrap
    Hi to everyone. Capping rail (lateral and posterior) dry-fitting is in progress, I'm concerned with the shape of the aft capping rail, as it's a bit curve and not so suitable to the upper rim of the (more straight) stern fascia... Did you re-shape it anyway or just left as it was and glued in place? (I saw Jason has made his own aft capping rail, propably for the above mentioned reason..). Thanks.

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.
