    Thank you everyone ! Sometimes it feels like I'm almost there, then I look at all the stuff I have left to do and I change my mind !

    Hello again! It feels like a while since I last updated. I had a while where I couldn't fit much if any build time in anywhere. Now, though, I have finished the bowsprit rigging and have started work on the fore mast. The rigging was done with the fittings unpainted and I painted them afterwards. That way the paint didn't peel or rub off while I got the lines on. It is not perfect, buy I think by the last line I kind of had the hang of it (pun intended ). After painting, I hand tapered the lower fore mast. I used my squishy sanding block from say back when I was sanding my hull. I filed the notch on the top for the last cap and glued it in. I then added the 'iron' bands on which are made of striping tape. I also glued in the eyebolts. The mast is stained, but the painted parts will be painted after all the structural work is complete. Anyway, here are the pictures! Until next time!

    Nice job! It's all very neat and precise!

    The wheel and assembly looks great Jesse! I look forward to seeing it on deck!

    Nice job Mike! That modular workshop system is on my Christmas list. You had better start work on the rigging, I might catch up to you !
  7. Elijah
    Wow! That looks small! Wonderful job Jesse!

    I agree, the handles look very good and should stay, but it is your ship. Í look forward to your next update!

    Wow! I wonder how they keep them from collapsing? Where in Florida is this?

    We l come back Patrick! She is looking nice and smooth! It is strange, I have been reading about people not having time to build around this time of year. Could it be a pattern? I seem to have had the same building break over the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to your inevitably fantastic interior detail! Have fun !

    Nice Job! Your boat is looking very good! The thing that is different about Syren's dead eyes is that they have a groove that the rope fits in that makes it slide better, as do real dead eyes have.
  12. Elijah
    Wow! You are very good with brass!
  13. Elijah
    You might be right, Mike. Thanks for all the comments! My next build is the Gunnoat Philadelphia.

    I am not almost finished with the boat, but am almost finished with the bowsprit. Next up are two cleats on the onboard side and bowsprit rigging. I hope these images work. Progress has been slow with everything going on lately. I hope to get back to pace late this month. We will see. Anyway, let's hope these images fit! Until next time! Hopefully sooner than this time was.

    Looking good! That wood looks nice!
  16. Elijah
    Wow. I could swear the planks were wood! Did you use standard printing paper? Yes, I do like them.
  17. Elijah
    Hello! How did you plank the insides of those boats? They look very small, I don't know how you managed to do it.
  18. Elijah
    Wow. Those chains look very good! That is a nice rudder!
  19. Elijah
    Very nice job Jesse! That bell looks fantastic! Happy Birthday! I hope you have a good one!
  20. Elijah
    Very nice! How did you cut out those bulkheads without cutting the sides?
  21. Elijah
    The dead eyes and chainplates look very good!
  22. Elijah
    Happy birthday Ian! I really like how these MarisStella kits have interior detail as well as exterior. She is looking very nice!
  23. Elijah
    I think I figured out how to fix the problem. I will get some close ups too. Thanks for the comments!
  24. Elijah
    The rigging is looking very nice! I look forward to more!
  25. Elijah
    I finished the fore deck. I was able to slow myself down, but I still have it finished. Next up is the bowsprit and bowsprit rigging. Most of the pieces on the fore deck just needed some painting and wire bending. Here are the images. I don't know what is wrong with the upside down photos. Sorry! Until next time!

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.
