Niels, a couple of issues:

 

1. It's not necessary to create a separate post for each photo. You may add multiple photos to a single post.

2. Your photos are not displaying. We don't recommend using third-party image hosting sites. We regularly have problems with such sites when they go out of business or members don't renew their subscriptions. We strongly advise members to upload their photos to the site first and then add them to their posts.

You have chosen a huge project and showing a great start.  One of the nice things about this ship is that you can compare your modern day plans to the contemporary plans and models at the RMG Collections site.

Regarding the lower wales, notice how it diminished in thickness at the bow so it rests in the rabbet as in the photo of the RMG model below.

Hi Allan,

 

I’ve seen you pass this info on it several kit build logs recently. This can and will eventually get lost in the pages. I think it’s a better idea to start a topic about this separately , so it’s easily referred to. 

On the bench: HMS Surprise - (Prototype) - Vanguard Models - 1:64

Future work: HMS Agamemnon - (Prototype) - Vanguard Models - 1:64
Ongoing: Tender Avos - Master Korabel - 1:72.
My other builds:  https://modelshipworld.com/topic/38761-a-place-to-post-your-long-signatures/

Many thanks for the suggestion James. 😀 As this applies to all builds, not just kits, it makes a lot of sense.   It's good to have folks post these kinds of things in multiple forums to capture a larger audience.

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.
