    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

    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
  14. mort stoll
    I believe they are 3 and 5mm Mort

    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.

    Thanks Jason. Forgot to ask, what does the pencil line in the photos indicate? Thanks again, Mort

    Sorry Jason, I meant bulkhead #11. Mort
  19. mort stoll
    Hi Jason, In pix #132 it looks like gun port #9 is against bulkhead #9. Is that true? Thanks, Mort
  20. mort stoll
    I agree. The pictures in the Bluejacket build manual are horrible. Did you completely remove the quarter gallery extensions and completely rebuild it or did you follow the build manuals instructions? Keep up the great work, Mort

    Hi David, Drop a note to Chuck Pessaro. He did a Sculpy presentation a few years ago at a joint ship clubs meeting. Mort

    Your build is a work of art. Mort

    Read "The Trafalgar Companion" by Mark Adkin. It covers everything you wanted to know about the battle. It is an amazing book. Mort

    Well done sailor, well done. Mort

    Admiral Nelson would be proud. I look forward to more of your builds. Be well, Mort

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.
