    I have been following your build for quite some time. It is a great one. Just noticed the gun tubs and the tools, sponge etc. They look perfect. Did you make them or buy them? Thanks, Mort

    Hi Ray, I did not notice any flags mounted on Diana. Do you plan to mount any and if so what sizes? Thanks, Mort

    Hi Jerry, What were the dimensions of the flags - Commissioning Pennant, Union Jack, White Ensign, and Vice Admiral's Flag - you mounted on your beautiful ship? I want to order some from CMB. Thanks, Mort

    Hi Kevin, I imagine there are different brands of bees wax but I do not know of any. Sorry, Mort PS Keep up the great work.

    Hi Kevin, Yes it is, however with that said I do run my threads through beeswax 4-6 times and if necessary then I use the Elmer's School Glue. Mort

    Hi Kevin, Try painting a light coat of "Elmers School Glue". That should remove any fuzzies. Mort

    My pleasure my friend. My pleasure. Mort

    Hi Jason, The rigging looks great. You are correct Petersson is invaluable. I run all of my rigging line thru beeswax 4 or 5 times and that will cure any fuzzies. As for already installed lines gently run Slmers School Glue over them. That should work. Keep up the great work, Mort

    Thank you Ray. Mort

    Hi Ray, What size anchors and oars did you use and were they from CMB? Thanks, Mort
  18. mort stoll
    Hi Jason, I forgot to include that I mount the masts with all of the lines attached 1 at a time and secure them as they did back in the day by means of the shrouds and various stays. I do the same thing with the yards. The clips on the halyards keep them stable during the rigging process. Mort

    Hi Jason, I rig all of my masts and bowsprit off of the model. I find it much easier. I support the masts in a vice and mount the yards to them. Each line - the fore topsail lifts for example - of the standing and running rigging are labeled with tape and clipped together with a small copper radio shack clips after they are installed on the yard and hang down. It may sound confusing and like a pile of spaghetti but is very organized and workable. I rig from bow to stern. A fellow New Jersey swears by stern to bow. I rig from inside out and top to bottom. Hope this helps. Any questions do not hesitate. Mort

    Hi Ray, The boat looks great. Who did you order the plastic grating from and what size was it? CMB has wooden grating in various sizes. Look forward to more posts, Mort

    Hi David, Did you use a jig or a ruler to cut the strake planks. They look great. Mort
  23. mort stoll
    I believe they are 3 and 5mm Mort
  24. mort stoll
    Hi David, I bought my kit just about 10 years ago. I just started to cut out the gun ports. My kit does not have canon balls either. I plan to take a gun barrel to a gun shop and buy loose buckshot buck shot that match the gun barrels muzzle diameter as I plan to put them around the gratings. That's what I have done with previous kits. all the best, Mort

    That's what I thought. Thanks again.

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.
