She looks good with all her "teeth" in place Ken. Something like securing lines is more or less a "Captain's" choice. However, I do think the inner-most tackle would need to be secured for re-coil purposes. The rest were probably just coiled up and laid on the deck, or over the carriage someplace.

The capstan looks good Nenad. At this scale, making tiny little parts is almost impossible, but I think when you take scale into consideration, you've done a fantastic job on her. Cheers- 4,152 replies

That's some more very nice iron-work Danny! It's gotta be nice to have all the "toys" for making parts from scratch like this. ---- (re-vamping my old list) Cheers

Somehow I knew you'd be doing some scratch-building sooner or later Dennis. I have no doubt the sky-light will turn out better for it. She's looking better and better with more deck structures being added to her. Cheers

I'm seeing a couple different size belaying pins there. ---Probably camera "fooltography".

It's amazing how many guy-wires there are. When looking at her profile, you don't really pay any attention to them.

It looks like after getting the bugs worked out on that machine, it's taking quite a bit of the "fiddly" out of those tiny little bits Mark. Glad you've got it tuned up and tweaked, so it works well for you.

Looks good Dave! Better suck down a second one for me.

Ken's got a point there Matt. As nice as it looks, brass will tarnish. -- Unless, of course, tarnishing's a look you might want in the end. Cheers

Spectacular work there by you and the Nutz bros Matt! You really out-did yourselves with that windlass. I agree with Steve on the blackening. It'd be a shame to cover all the beautiful brass-work there. Cheers

I think you're doing an awesome job on your mini-detailing Nenad. It's one of those things that the more you do it, the easier it becomes, and sooner or later, it will become an automatic thing. Cheers- 4,152 replies

I know what you mean about that Mark. I do the same thing when just picking up lumber, usually, unless I have power-tools on my mind.

She's coming together nicely Clare, and with so many pre-milled and not laser-cut parts, is something that makes for an attractive prospect for future buyers like me.

You're lucky with finding the cleat Robb. Usually they end up in another dimension never to be seen again. Ok---At the bottom, right next to your "Post" button is the "More reply Options" button. Before you start with your post click that, then at the bottom, notice the "choose file" button. Click that and go to your desktop, or navigate to wherever your pictures are located on your computer, and click "open", then "Attatch This File". That will locate a small thumbnail of the pic right there with a "Add to Post" or delete option. Relocate your cursor where you want the pic and click the "Add to Post". Cheers

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.
