    Thank you Jonathan!

    The eyes of the deadeyes are indeed terrible😂 Same stuff in my kit...weird that they don't figure that out.
  3. Ronald-V
    Haha thanks 😂

    Third attempt😁 Quite happy with it! The trick with the CA glue worked fine. I did not weave it, because that is going to be to much out of scale.

    Thanks for al your help Dirk. How do you get that line so tight on the mouse? With my efforts it wants to slip off the mouse because the surface is so smooth. And do you just turn a single thread around? Or do you weave it also?

    Quite a reduction in size...now some thread around it and see how it's going to look
  7. Ronald-V
    Mooie bijboot! 😁👍

    That looks much better indeed. Your wicker-work (don't know if that's the right word) looks als much neater.
  9. Ronald-V
    Maybe you're right haha, how big would a mouse be at this scale?

    Finished the Fore stay...pictures are not that great because the light is weird now. But you get the idea 😁 The mouse looks a bit oversized...but I can live with that with this model. I did not serve the line. Because my knowledge about this is not sufficient at this stage. You can also see the gammoning.

    I thought so...it looked way better then the Caldercraft thread
  12. Ronald-V
    great job! Are you using the supplied thread?

    Trying to make a mouse that sits on the fore stay. Not perfect yet... but learning. It's okay for now. The hard piece on the inside is made of polymer clay, but I need to refine the technique on the homemade jig

    Seeing it for the second time...I don't think it's to bad...I probably can work with it 🙂

    I took a look in the Pegasus box and found out that the false keel isn't straight. It's made of MDF and my understanding was that this didn't warp that much? What would the best option here? Did someone asked for a replacement from Amati? How is the service of them? Or maybe I'm gonna trying to fix it... that's also an option. I don't know how mdf exactly reacts...
  18. Ronald-V
    Thank you so much 😊
  19. Ronald-V
    Yes I know😁, also a good reason to choose for this particular build 😊
  20. Ronald-V
    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?

    New goodies arrived today 😁😉
  22. Ronald-V
    Great carving GrandpaPhil! Especially at that scale!
  23. Ronald-V
    You're doing a great job! She's comming along nicely

    Installment of the topmast shrouds, windlass and pawl bitts and the bowsprit 😊
  25. Ronald-V
    Hahaha nice! Great choice 😁

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.
