    The quality of the materials in the Pegasus box are looking great indeed. Tomorrow I will scan the box to look if there are no parts missing. I don't either know exactly how to rig the tackle pendants. My thougts where...That I will come across them when I go systematically trough the manual. But maybe someone else can jump in with the answer?

    Just ordered the HMS Pegasus from Amati for my second build at Cornwall modelships The doubt was between the Syren, Granado and Pegasus...but in the end, the Pegasus was just the most appealing to me. Big step forward in complexity, but I think I can manage it with the help of the forum

    Ratlines are done! Nice to notice that you get very proficient at tying the ratlines at the end...😊

    Offcourse the knots are overscale executed, and probably wrong...but it's more clear I hope. It's the top shroud that rests on the hounds at the top of the mast. Personally I think I need to use the left eye splice?
  13. Ronald-V
    I will have to make an eye splice in the middle of the rope...let me see if I understand this correct. The manual says: "For the foremast, to begin, measure an 850mm length of 0.5mm black thread. Using a length of 0.25mm black thread, form an eye splice at the mid pointof the 850mm length of 0.5mm black thread to form an eye of approximately 6mm in diameter". How would attach this eye at the 0.5mm black main thread? Just a loop like this ___!___ with the O on top? Or like -----O-----? Maybe I need to shoot some photos to explain...

    lovely planking job!

    tightening the shrouds did seem to work! It's not perfect yet, but the twist is almost gone. So thank you guys!

    I've tightened the lanyards, and the twist is almost gone. It looks much better, also the lanyards. So...a bit extra work on top of tying the ratlines...but that's part of the learning process.
  21. Ronald-V
    Tnx for the reply's. First I will try to tighten the lanyards option before taking drastic measures🤔

    Busy with the ratlines! The first batch ready, it wasn't easy but i'm pretty happy with the result. The only thing is, that there is a twist in it, from top to bottom. Probably because of the paint and glue that added some stiffness to the whole. Anyone an idea what I can do about that? Or is there in this stage nothing what I can do to fix this? On the first not so sharp picture you can see the problem.

    Tnx! There's a whole story about the Pickle, that's nice!👍

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.
