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

    Keith, It's the main t'gallant mast where John's problem is. Mine measures 2 mm wide at that point. I suppose your idea might work if John has a drill bit small enough and a steady hand. At the same time, I guess there's nothing lost in giving it a try. Tom

    Agesofsail.com has several types of winches at reasonable cost. Tom

    Phil, I'm in awe of your ability to do 3-D CAD. I can see where it greatly simplifies manufacture. I imagine that after having modelled the cruiser, this is duck soup. Tom

    Thom, I'm delighted that you're trying again. We are here to help, but perhaps you would let us know which model you've started? Tom
  27. TBlack
    I go to a guy who is in the trophy selling business. He has to engrave brass plaques for the trophies. Try that.
  28. TBlack
    Nice looking shop!

    If you sight along the top of the stempost against the transom (top is barely visible in the photo), you can see the twist. The stempost should bisect the transom.

    Not only did the filigree turn out perfectly, but I'm also in awe of your ability to place both sides so symmetrically. Also, that photo of mother and daughter is a keeper! Tom

    Further update: I've added the lifts to the main yard and can sort out and pull taught all the attendant lines which is good, as it was getting to be a bit of a rats nest under the top. Also, rigged the main and preventer stay. I think I'm going to turn my attention to ratlines next.
  32. TBlack
    Boy, ain’t that the truth!
  33. TBlack
    I got an idea! If no one knew what you were looking for, you could have found anything on the bottom and claimed victory. Sort of like my Naval experience. But that’s another story!
  34. TBlack
    The one you were supposed to find?
  35. TBlack
    Great story but did you ever locate the helicopter?
  36. TBlack
    Agreed!

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.
