    Cuda1949 reacted to Shazmira in San Francisco 2 by lamarvalley - FINISHED - Artesania Latina   
    Last night when I completed the lanyards on my first shroud, I let out a whoop and a fist pump. Other half just looked at me from the recliner and asked me if I was hurt Some people just don't get it Randy , good thing we have MSW
     
    The deadeyes and chainplates are looking good. When I got my masts and the shroud lines up, then I could see the angle the chainplates needed to go. I was also at that time able to see where they would fall in regards to the gun ports. I had a couple that would have extended right over the center of those ports, so I just shortened the chain. I did this by sticking one of the brass nails between the twist above the port and nailing it to the ship. a spot of CA to keep it all together and an unceremonious snip of the excess chainplate. I know, I know, NOT historically accurate, but without a magnifying glass you can't see that the nail is not driven through a "loop" at the end of the chainplate anyway. I only had a tiny channel between the rubbing strake and the port frame anyway.

    Rocker, you know it is ALL your fault. You are the one who convinced me to start with the battle station!  Now if I could just convince the other half that I really NEED that Byrnes table saw for my birthday.....

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.
