Some days things just go... slow.

Having never done a chainplate, well, let's just say this has taken longer than it should have. I had initially thought to do the chain link style, but the Smithsonian plans pretty clearly show plates, so here we are.

Much thought on blackening the plates, but this build seems to highlight natural finishes so the brass remains. It is what it is I guess.

On deck, Mister Nash has hung the ship's bell and added the bell rope. Hopefully it will be able to stay there when all the rigging is completed. 🤔

Well done Mister Nash!

Thanks for checking in. Interested in any thoughts as always!

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.
