    Any suggestions on how to do the jib boom heel lashing? I saw different pictures and style but I am not sure which one is correct.

    Backstay Adventure update. I have been a little bit lazy and did not take pictures of every steps I have taken. So sorry. Sometime you get caught up into building and thinking about the next step that you forget to take pictures. I am currently working on the back stay and will be competing it this weekend. Finger crossed. Here are a few pictures. It is getting more and more difficult to show progress as the ship is more busy.

    Yes it is my plan. I am finishing the back stay. The bowsprit is next. I am working on it offline. I will be attaching it in the next few days.

    Now starts the section where it is difficult to picture progress due to the size of the ship. Standing rigging in progress....

    Long time since I posted something... I have been quite busy with the standing rigging. I worked on the shrouds, jiboom, Dead-eyes, horse. I also attached the cleats to the shrouds. Once the shrouds are attached I will give them another coat of paint. I started on the back stay as well.

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.
