    Thanks for the video... I learned something from it about loading bullets! My only thoughts were for the use of the train tackle. Yes the gun would recoil on firing so the train tackle was mostly used to retract manually. I cannot envision that one getting used and wonder if I might experience the same thing on my ship, and if so what might be the resolution to the issue. I will reflect on it for a bit more... quietly in the corner! 🤔

    Kevin. While watching your video and seeing the train tackle that could not be used as it was already hauled in as much as possible... I wonder if they would have used the port deck eye with the starboard gun and the starboard deck eye with the port gun? This would allow them to pull the gun back all the way to the eye and possibly expose the muzzle inboard for loading. I know it will be covered and hidden from view... but I am left wondering if this was the solution? Alan

    I suppose that is another reason not to rig stuff no one will see! I'm taking notes.
  21. AON
    I may be seeing things wrong but it seems the eyebolt in the deck is too close as the gun doesn't look like it can be haul back.

    The contest opens on the 15th of June. I imagine all information will be available, and the website will be operational then.

    What an interesting use of electrical wiring heat shrink tubing! Now that is thinking outside the box.

    I had bought my pin vises (2) and number drill bits from McMaster-Carr. I bought two pin vices because they came with a reversible chuck (larger shaft/small shaft) so I could have one set for each. That ended up being a waste of money as they are easily reversed. I bought a few bits that came in multiple quantities in envelops. The smallest of which are quite delicate and snap with the slightest side pressure (flex) if you do not choke up on them with the pin vise chuck.
  26. AON
    I wonder how more experienced modelers manage the task?
  27. AON
    Yes. I took the subassemly to my belt sander and gradually created the taper from point to point, each side.
  28. AON
    I drew an imaginary line from B to D and from A to the Gripe horizontally opposite D and tapered the stem to these points along these lines. It made sense to me.

    THE CABINS LOOK GREAT! I just watch a two short videos of the cori robotic knee replacement surgery... got my GDD (Google Doctor's degree!). I'm guessing it will be a quicker recovery with this procedure. Hoping all goes well and your back jogging in no time.

    Sometimes I find the small restricted area fiddles with my mind to make it more difficult than it should be. I also find carving on end grain to be difficult. I find that if I take a slightly larger piece of thin stock and rubber glue that to a base piece of wood that is clamped, then pencil mark the shape, then start carving it is somewhat easier. Then I remove it from the base and take it to the table top disk sander and sand the edges to their margin lines.... but still the first one can take three attempts! But it gets easier.

    I get to 9:51 in the above video and it kicks me back to the beginning! I can pick just ahead of that and it loads and plays... not sure what I missed, assuming not much

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.
