    The Wipe-On Poly gave the planking a real nice finish Mark. Your diligence has paid off admirably.!

    The rigging's filling her out nicely, and the pics with the new camera are showing off the detail great. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year John, and I'll be looking forward to doing more business next year.

    Ratlines are looking great Robb. You'll smoke through the next set!

    Wow - Talk about building rocket ships!! You're right Ken, maybe in the next lifetime.

    Looks like the "spiders" have been busy up there John.

    Outstanding work Piet!! The paint job really makes her stand out nicely!

    Never been on a sailing ship myself Matt, but it would seem to make sense to set them according to how strong the wind is. The stronger the wind, the lower on the mast to reduce stress on the mast. Just guessing of course.

    Looking splendid John!

    Always used CR-56 or WD-40 on all my blades, power and hand saws. It's light, and easier to wipe off when you need to use the saw.

    I like the temporary mast stands and the protective "house" for the ship. Really good ideas!!

    You've done a lovely job on her Bob, and you should be very proud.

    Real nice pic John. Really shows off that detail. Don't be too intimidated with the latest technology. It's still just a camera, and unless you're into professional photography, a lot of that new stuff, you won't have to mess with.

    Thanks Geoff! I've already reserved myself to the idea that much experimentation will be needed. I appreciate the makes and sizes of the rope you're using, and that will no doubt be how I approach it in the end.
  23. GLakie
    That's interesting about what you mention about using 8 different sizes of thread to get the needed sizes. I've been under the impression that you could start with one of the smallest threads and "build" it up to the required sizes. I'd be interested to know which sizes you're using, because it would probably take less steps that way, to reach the same goal.

    Looking good Sal! Thanks for sharing your techniques.
  25. GLakie
    Looking good Piet!

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.
