    By the way, I had received a fantastic review of my book from Chris. You can read it here: Cheers Joachim

    Dear colleagues, enough time has already passed and things must continue here. Well, the mizzen sail is on today. First I had to make the tree and the gaff. And that's how they look in the group picture: The outermost end of the gaff is fitted with an attachment with a deflection pulley for a flag. There I tried again my soldering arts, well, at least painted it looks quite bearable. At the gaff there are also some pulleys for Gordings attached and finally the gaff must be able to be fixed behind the snow-mast. Of course the tree also has several fitting parts, to see here, the guides of the lower leech stretcher, which is led first over a deflection pulley in the tree and then under this by the illustrated guides for the attachment to the bitt. And now the gaff with the mizzen sail attached. Cheers Joachim

    Thank you very much, Chris, for this fantastic review. I am very happy that the book could be presented in this great forum. The book is available in regular bookstores, but many wholesalers (including Amazon) don't deliver to all countries. For this reason the book can also be ordered directly from me. So, order here: http://www.modellbau-muellerschoen.de/buch-en.htm or send an e-mail directly to my address: info@modellbau-muellerschoen.de Best regards, Joachim

    Many thanks for the compliments and the Likes Cheers, Joachim

    Hello folks, and again a bit further, now the staysails between forestay and main mast are finished and attached. The staysails don't have so many lines, only halyards, downhauls and sheets, but the tethering of the jib riders is quite time-consuming. I had a hard time with the pictures, but I hope it will come over. When an intermediate result is reached again, I will photograph the ship in my wife's photo studio, that will be a bit better. First of all the sails have to be prepared, also more than 50 jib riders are needed. Cheers, Joachim

    Hello folks, now the first pictures of the rigged lower sail at the foremast. The jib boom is rotatably mounted and is held by chains on the jib mast. At first I had attached the lift. Two of the Gordings are brought together by one of the double blocks, they are fixed at the bottom of the bitt in front of the mast. The elaborately designed reef troughs are fixed at the betings on starboard and port. The clew-lines again lead directly to the bitt in front of the mast. Before the lines are finally fixed, some of the other sails have to be attached. And now a few pictures. Cheers, Joachim

    Oh, that's a nice Thumbs Up thank you very, very much 👍 Cheers Joachim

    Dear Michael, thank you very much for your great compliment! Cheers Joachim

    Now there is also the upper topsail. Everything looks somehow the same, and yet each sail is different, is fastened differently to the respective yards, all have a different line guide. Joachim
  29. schiffebastler
    The bottom mast sail of the foremast is attached to the yard and I have already attached the most important lines to it, especially the gordings have to be threaded through these tiny thimbles. Joachim

    Looks really good, I like it. Joachim

    Now it goes on. So here are the staysails at the foredeck with sheets and downhauls. The sheets of each sail have the typical precursors with blocks at the end through which the sheets run. The downhauls are attached to the clew horn, run high over a block attached to the nock horn back down to the neck horn and over a block attached to it to the reference point. The lines are still occupied, the whole line bundles are still missing and then everything has to be finally fixed. Joachim

    And now the first yard sail, the foresail, is attached to the yard. In order to have it a little easier later with the lines, I have prepared some, especially clew lines and bunt-lines. By the way, a few of the blocks appear there again. I put here some more pictures, because the general procedure is the same for some more sails. Joachim
  35. schiffebastler
    Thanks to everybody for the likes! In between a few blocks had to be made, then they can later be attached to the yards with the sails. These are only a few blocks of over 1000 pieces. Joachim

    It is the first book and the first set of plans I know that unites these three construction methods. Masterfully researched, compiled and drawn, an absolute must have for every model maker, not only for those, interested in ships of this time or type. This book is highly recommended. Joachim

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.
