    That walnut appears to be a finer grain than what we usually see in the US. They look really good. The darker color adds character. I noticed that Chris at Vanguard Models recently said he would be using your blocks going forward. They add a lot to his kits.

    What’s great about MSW is we have a lot of logs and experienced builders here to help you with these ‘flawed’ kits.

    I felt that LightBurn doubled the value of my old 40w C02.. I now have a 40w diode, and I can't imagine not having LightBurn..

    Here are the particulars. Cricut It should work with any operating system that supports BlueTooth or USB. It's not so much the OS as it is connectivity support. I believe the interface is web based. I don't have one, but my wife uses Brother Scan n' Cut which is a similar machine..
  23. Gregory
    I'm pretty sure Cricut works with Apple and Windows. It may even have a Phone app. It will have BluTooth/WiFi capability and a USB connection.

    Interestingly, the rigged model of Hawke is not showing any bowlines on the square sail (?). I, personally, would be reluctant to model them in the absence of sails. However, I certainly wouldn't fault you for including them. I think your best guess would be as good as any.
  25. Gregory
    Just looked at my copy, ( Fore and Aft Craft ) and bowlines are not shown. Were you looking at the photos in front of AOTS? One photo shows bowlines going out to the end of the bowsprit, but of course, we can't see where they lead. My best guess would be the pin rack in front of the windlass.
  26. Gregory
    I think that would be a nice touch.
  27. Gregory
    Re the bowlines, I can see what Petersson says later, if you don’t get an answer before then.
  28. Gregory
    Companion looks fantastic!

    Apparently there was variation, so you should feel good about how you choose to go forward.

    As if we haven't seen/heard enough options here is a drawing DrPr posted from an unnamed source, but appears to be one of the AOTS books. The attaching of the breeching rope appears to be an eye splice with a cow hitch(?) While we are at it, the mystery eyebolt we have discussed in other threads ( dotted line #10 ) says it was for training tackle., which would have been the outhaul repurposed. An option that I believe was presented.
  31. Gregory
    I don't see any detail regarding the attaching of the breech rope to the gunwale. 1997, maybe? That breech rope looks decorative rather than functional.

    Which kit.

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.
