    This set of photos show the gun port lid support ropes tied off to cleats at the different gun decks. It would have been easier to install the cleats when the deck beams were installed but I did not think that far ahead.

    I decided to line the holes for the lids support rope with 3/32”brass tubing for a neater look. These photos show the tubing installation.

    Thanks Ben, I am planning on showing the lower mast, top and main yard with the associated rigging. I am working on the channels now and should be able to post some progress photos this weekend. Mike

    Hi Wacko Joe, Thanks, we didn’t find any kits for this ship doing research for the model but there could be some I didn’t find. I am almost current with the log so there will be a lot more pictures but the posts will be further apart. LOL Mike

    This set of photos shows the guns and lower capstan on the upper gun deck. The blue tabs of masking tape are where the spar deck supports go.

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.
