    Sheaves installed

    Catheads installed. That was brutal. I will have a lot of repairs to do to the moulding and the paint job. Easy fix its just a pain in the ace.

    Here we go again.

    Hahaha

    Haha Alan it a wonderful learning curve. The sad thing is that much of what we learn gets lost for those who will follow. I have a written log that records many of my challenges so that when i get asked why i did what i did i and can find the answer. It is also why i have no fear of showing my mistakes in my videos.

    The bowsprit angle on the plans is 23degrees and my model is 21. So it is closer to the top of the stem than it should be. I have tried to change it but its not possible now. This will give me some issues with the figure head if i ever figure out what mine should look like. Right now i do not plan to put one as i have no idea what a THORN figure should look like. I will still carve one when the time comes though.
  21. Kevin Kenny
    You are correct about the bitt but not sure how i would get that measurement. Its not stuck yet and i will see how i can figure that out. The slope on the main deck is very slight.

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.
