    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

    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

    You're doing an excellent job rigging the sails Frank. She's beautiful. Cheers

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

    Words to "live" by---literally!

    Nice job on those jack-screws Larry. They didn't add those in the kit did they? You might be making the swing over to the "Dark-Side" ?

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

    She looks great Nenad! Nice touch with Salvador!
  12. GLakie
    Nice work on the pin-rails Tom. Your perseverance is paying off handsomely! Cheers

    She looks splendid Augie! Welcome back!

    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.

    Hi Richard! Good idea with the pins in channels for support and holding off on the paint until later. She looks fine!
  16. GLakie
    You're doing a splendid job on her Michael! Nice bit of splicing work.
  17. GLakie
    Nice job on those head-rails Sal!
  18. GLakie
    That would give it that "hundreds of years old" look Matt! Cool!!
  19. GLakie
    Looks good Dave! Better suck down a second one for me.
  20. GLakie
    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
  21. GLakie
    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
  22. GLakie
    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
  23. GLakie
    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.
  24. GLakie
    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.
