I've installed the first lifeboat. There are three options: upright (then you have to fit out the interior with wood seats), covered (you need to find some covering material and somehow color it), or inverted, the way I've done it, which also seems to me the most logical way to store a boat to keep the inside dry.

The boats are molded styrene, and when you paint them, the paint mars REALLY easily, so after multiple touch-ups I varnished it to protect the paint job.

The davit rigging assumes that the falls are attached inside the boats, and that on launching the boat would be flipped over so the falls could then be used to lower it.

Finally, the manual calls for double block rigging, but I got lazy and used a single. :piratetongueor4:

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.
