    A few pictures from the bird's eye perspective

    A few more pictures of the overall progress

    Still finding more to do. I finished the brace lines for the foremast yards. Added the Ship's Flags Trying to determine how I want to finish the three halyards.

    Thanks Bindy. Somewhere I read about soaking them in tea to darken them a little.

    Getting Closer to the end Still need to attach the brace lines to the fore sails. Also need to raise the flags.
  16. awanajv
    Getting Close to the END!!! All of the sails have been 'raised'. Next thing is attaching the lines to the yards and sails
  17. awanajv
    Also had time to attach the Fore sails Close-up of the Bowsprit. Close-up of the Fore Sails

    Had a little time today so I attacked the sails. Here are the yards and the sails separate. Then the yards and sails attached Close-up of the Main sails

    Somewhere during the build, I guess I supposed to drill these seven holes on each side of the foredeck. It was a little more difficult drilling the holes in the rails after the shroud lines were on.
  20. awanajv
    I had a little more time this weekend so I knocked out two of the sails.
  21. awanajv
    Ratlines and Stays are complete. Looks like I am about ready for the yards and sails. Time to do more research
  22. awanajv
    Working on the upper shroud lines and ratlines. Those upper deadeyes are tiny.
  23. awanajv
    Well, not too much snow lately but it was only 5F this morning (-15C) so more time to work on the SF2. YEAH! All of the lower ratlines are finished.

    Yet another lesson learnt - CA glue is flammable. I was reading through several logs and saw that a way to get rid of the FUZZIES is to burn them. I used this concept on several of the lines and they looked great. However, I used it on the Ratlines on the Fore Starboard side while the CA glue was still volatile and WOOF! The forward most shroud caught fire and burned along with the ratlines. I had to cut out the shrouds and start over. Starboard side complete!! Now on to the port side
  25. awanajv
    Shrouds completed and tied off. Ready for RATLINES. ForeMast - Port Side MizzenMast - Starboard Side MainMast - Starboard Side

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.
