Not sure where I put this discussion. Please move if needed I purchased MS 2020 Mayflower at 1:76 scale = 5/32" = .1563" = 3.969 mm I purchased Bob Hunt's Mayflower practicum, without paying attention, which is for the Artesania Latina model, at 1:64 scale = 3/16" = .1875" = .4.763 mm Comparing the two .1563/.1875 = .8336 If Bob says cut 5" do I cut 5"x.8336 = 4.168"? Likewise if he says use 1/4" square board do I use 1/4" x .8336 = .2084"? Using mm may be more precise but the question remains the same. I know I should consult the plans first but if there is not a clear picture can I make the modifications as outlined above? Or maybe I'm simplifying the calculations too much and the approach should be entirely different? I'm obviously not a mathematician! Thanks for your help. John

Nice work! Much better than mine! Like you and others I'm also on my decade long quest to finish up this model, in fact I'm almost finished with the rigging. Maybe 6 more months! We do have patience!!!

I seem to have conflicting plans, or I am misunderstanding the belaying plans, compared to the instructions from the Model Shipway drawings. Drawing 8 calls for the truss to be belayed to the cleat on top of the upper crosstree, as detailed under "lower truss details". Bob Hunt's practicum says that the truss is belayed to a cleat installed on the cross tree. The Belaying Plan, which is printed on drawing 6, calls for the trusses to be belayed to pins 44 and 45 described as "Fore Truss Pendant Tackle", similar instructions are for the main and the mizzen masks. Lennarth Petersson, although a different outline for running through the yards, shows the truss eventually being belayed to the deck as well. So do I belay to the upper cross tree or do I belay to the deck? Many thanks for your help. This forum is a godsend for us amateurs! Thanks. John Gilchrist Rosenberg, TX

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.
