    Nils, The winch is looking great! It's a good thing there are fewer of them than cowl vents

    Well now if I fall overboard while working on the Cudahy someone can throw me one of these.

    Nils, here are some pictures of the winches on the steamschooner Wapama. I don't know if they will help but they are good study material. Steve

    Well it's a good thing I recently had my hair cut short or I would have pulled it all out. Just finished making railings and ladders. Have a little clean up and some paint and I am calling it good.

    Nils, Great looking deck! With that companionway the only way on to that deck it must have been a real pain for the deck hands to work that deck. I also wonder about the three sets of bollards but no chocks to lead lines past the rails. Not nick picking just wondering how it all worked on the real thing.

    Thanks, Patrick Those skido's of yours would have been more than I could handle. They look great! John thanks for looking in and glad things are looking better for you and the misses Seems I have been spending more time rebuilding the shipyard than working on my project. I will soon have things more to my liking and can get back to my project.

    Nice looking cowl vents, Nils and you only have to do this how many times?
  19. steamschooner
    Thanks, Patrick & Nils, I had to show that I am still working on her. Slowly ....

    Just to show you all that I have been working on my project. Not alot done but I have made and installed the main cabin roof, cut out for the stack and the engine room skylight. Turned a steam whistle and working on the stack. Did some dry transfer lettering and made a ships bell.

    Nevermind I see it is stud link chain
  22. steamschooner
    What? Nils no stud link chain.
  23. steamschooner
    Nils, Here is a page from; Smoke Ash and Steam by R. Sheret That show the different parts of a windlass. Windless having wildcats for chain handling. Cargo winches do not have wildcats just drums and gypsys

    Bob, Been there done that ! I stopped work on a model and stripped it back to the main deck . Some research showed up that had showed me how some things where wrong. Your build is looking good!

    Tale of the Lucin, by David Peterson isbn 0-9706383-0-2 For those that like small boats this is a interesting tale of a small launch that lasted 99+ years. It helped build the Lucin cut off in the Great salt lake, was a tug/freight boat , and ended up a fishing boat. It has ties to my local history and most likely worked with and around the John Cudahy ( My current build )

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.
