    Thanks for the elaborate answer and compliment Peter, and everybody tnx for the likes. Good point on the tightness of the lanyards/shrouds. I'm making a mental note in my head for the next time i'm going trough that process. With building a model there are often questions about authenticity or just good looking for the modeller.

    Next step is knotting the ratlines. Caldercraft supplied for this 0.10 naturel thread that need to be stained black when it's knotted against the lower shrouds. Why they didn't supplied black thread in the first place? I don't know. Or is it mean't to be more authentic? Because they tarred it maybe? 🤔

    The lower shrouds are finally done. After retrying a few times i'm happy how it turned out 🙂 The lanyards could a bit tighter, but it's not to bad in my opinion for now.

    Beautiful!🙂

    Tnx! Yes the solution that Y.T. used looks like a good alternative. I'm going to experiment with that. I wouldn't trust myself yet to paint the letters directly on to the ship 🤪
  26. mugje
    That looks really good I must say. You used just normal paper?
  27. mugje
    Hello everyone! Not sure if it's the right subforum to post this question. But i'm look for dry-rub transfer letters, and the Letraset 5mm Times new roman gold are looking real good for the job. I'm working on the Pickle kit from Caldercraft and the photo etched letters that are supplied with the kit are horrible. I saw with other builds on the forum that they use the Letraset letters. But the problem is that I could not find them on the web? Does someone know an adress?

    I wasn't happy with how the knots of the lanyards turned out. It was to sloppy and it irritated me. I had already knotted about 6 of them but cut everything loose. And searched how it could be done better and neater. I took a look in the practicum of the Syren from Chuck Passaro. He uses the cow hitch, or lark knot for that. With a lot of practice it became this, which i'm very happy with. Way more neater then the first effort!
  29. mugje
    That's a great idea! Tnx!
  30. mugje
    Tnx Lazy Saint! Do you always make new diluted glue for the knots when you need it? Or do you make it once and store it somehow?
  31. mugje
    Not the most pretty knot...but we all need to start somewhere 😁
  32. mugje
    Wonderful!🙂
  33. mugje
    glued and pinned the channels in place...they ain't moving anywhere anymore😎 Lighting is not great at the moment to make pictures...sorry for that!

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.
