    Just caught up on the log. That finished up very nicely. Excellent work!

    I simply used two brass rods through the keel. It is plenty strong enough and I think it looks good.

    Great work so far, especially all the metal work. I like what you did with the siene boat and the dory as well. Mine is long finished but I never did complete my log, including finished pictures. maybe you've inspired me to do so...

    That's fantastic Richard.

    Really nicely done Mike, and nice display.

    Thank you very much.

    Thanks Bob. She's actually finished, and has been for a couple of months. I just need to get this log caught up.

    Richard, Thanks. The rope is Syren. For the baggywrinkle I simply placed the appropriate length of rope in my serving machine, and then attached the piece of the peacock hearl with fine thread. I then wrapped it around the rope for the distance necessary and seized it off on that end again with fine thread. Final step was to paint with diluted tan acrylic paint. It's actually incredibly simple.

    Welcome Doug from a fellow Pennsylvanian!

    Thank you Jim.

    Just caught up Eamonn, congratulations on a fine build.

    More update photos as promised. These show the gaff rigging and some of the topmast rigging. As mentioned earlier, these are Bluejacket blocks and Syren line.

    Thanks Mike! Wish those pics were better...

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.
