    Hi Gil, I used Micro-Glaze on my Mamoli Connie and had no problems with it. I just followed the directions on the container and all went well. Mort

    I used simple black thread to serve my lines, right from the thread counter. Nothing fancy, just simple thread. Mort

    Hi Stergios, I used all of the ropes included within the kit. I kept the rope as tight as I could just by keeping it hand tight as I served the ropes. you will see it is easy. Hope this helps, Mort

    I have always wanted installed belaying pins - glued to the pin rails - before the standing rigging is installed. The entire area is exposed and for me it is easier to install. When the time comes I prefer to belay the rigging line to a secure belaying pin as opposed to a loose one. I put a pin in each hole. If I have any pins that do not have lines belayed to them I usually wrap coils around them. A ship I feel would had extra coils close on hand for emergencies. Keep up the great work. Your build is great. Mort

    I used basically the same thread as Jason and I used Elmer's School Glue. Worked out very well. Mort

    Hi Jason, Hobbymill is a great source for your wood. Just an FYI if you should need any in the future. They supplied me with wood for my Rattlesnake and it was great. I have maple on order from him for my Diana. Mort

    Yes I did. Mort

    Hi Ray, Great job as always. Been meaning to ask did you use the kits wood to plank your hull? It looks really great in the pictures. Thanks, Mort

    Sorry I forgot to add that I think I would have used the kit supplied dowels were I to have not painted the masts and yards. Mort

    I painted my masts ochre and the yards black. I think if I were to do it again I might paint the mast bands black instead of the ochre for a bit of contrast but this was not a fancy boat. She was a working "girl". Mort

    welcome back. You were missed. Mort

    That's why do overs were invented. Mort

    We have all been there. I have many many times more then I want to admit, but the bottom line is that I am much happier with the redos than the initial do. Your build is great. I enjoy it very much. Keep up the nice work, 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.
