    Greg, Just looking at the photo of the propeller at your entry #200, it looks like the shaft is as long as the paddle. Interesting design, but I guess it worked. Tom

    Good point. Thanks, bro! And thanks for all the followers of my slow and modest work. Now a couple days off while I visit grandkids!

    Crowsfeet: My first question was is the line tarred or natural. I went to my copy of Lees for the answer and found this: Well, that isn't much help, so I turned to one of our team as exhibited in TFFM vol. 4. Natural it is! And here's the result:

    Steve, Glad to have another “near to Boston” ship modeler. Be most welcome! tom
  25. TBlack
    Yah, but we're classy!

    Eureka! The kit does include euphroe blocks. I was looking in the wrong place. As I've mentioned, I'm following Delph's excellent log of the Speedy and he told me where to look.....it's a PE piece not a wooden piece: OK, so now the question is, if there are 9 holes in the block, how many holes in the mast top? Is it 18, 9 on a side? And Srenner I've sent you a message to help you find Toni's tutorial.

    Keith, Eric, Nothing too serious (not like the Pope), but the flu which caused all kinds of ancillary issues. And it seems like it takes weeks to recover when it used to be days! Anyway thanks for the concern. Tom
  28. TBlack
    Been awhile, but I have 2 excuses: I absolutely hate doing ratlines and there have been some health issues. Nevertheless, the lower ratlines are done: Terrible photo, but take my word for it that they are done. I want to add crows feet next, but then realized that this early kit does not include euphroe blocks. So I have to make my own. Not my favorite task. Stay tuned, if you have the patience. Tom

    Good idea to edit #354, otherwise I might have had to make a comment. But know that I still love you, my little bro! Tom

    Keith, dear brother, I have to remind you of mom's favorite joke that she used to love to tell: What happens when the bomb goes off in the French kitchen? Linoleum Blown apart!
  31. TBlack
    So, we have 2 Keiths in favor of that linoleum. One of the Keiths, being part of my family, I feel responsible for,. The other, whose work I totally adore, well, not my problem. Keith #1, you and I need a talk, but I'm encouraged that you've seen the light. Keith #2, maybe you just need a stiff drink? Tom
  32. TBlack
    Boy, I sure hope you seriously consider this idea. BTW, if there is no EOT in the wheelhouse, how does the helm communicate with the engine room? Tom
  33. TBlack
    Keith, there ya go. Betcha can make a coffee pot!
  34. TBlack
    I hope you’re going to add buntlines, because it gives rise to the question of where to attach the lower end. And i’d like to see your solution.

    Looks to me as though Ron has gotten most of the masking back in place.

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.
