    Are you following Ketting wirh a fore-deck, or do you take the model as it is, without a forecastle-deck? That deck in the reconstruction is quite a debate, most scholars taking the view that it should not be there. Jan

    Hi Juzek, Which drawings do you use? Ketting or Corel? Jan

    That's a nice twist Do you have a picture of her in that rig? Jan
  4. amateur
    Can you explain? New research showing tha she had no masts? Jan

    And the more practical question: are you able to represent these lines in the scale you are working with? Sometimes less is more With respect to your question: I guess it depends on the situation. When a ship is sailing, everything is there. In port during (un)loading, the sails are not removed, therefore these lines are not. During winter-stops, I guess most lines are removed, as the weather does have a (negative) effect on the quality of the lines. So everything needed to have the yards in place will remain, everything else is removed. Sometimes you see a model with full rigging, but without sails. In that case the lines are prevented from running loose with the help of knots and toggles. I like the look of it (although: only when blocks and lines are in scale), but I never saw a picture of these clippers fully rigged, without sails. in your case, I would take Cutty sark as she is in dry-dock as your reference: Standing rigging lifts and braces in place, all other removed.

    Great work! Jan

    Thats essentially what it is: two lines eized at the ends, forming a little eye in between. Jan
  8. amateur
    Ofcourse you can fake the splice by a seizing. My point is the way you can seize the lines: one eye, with two standing lines. Jan
  9. amateur
    Eyesplice, or horseshoe, I dont know what the correct one is. In your model it will look the same. Jan

    Option c, two llines with a sort of eye-splice i will look for a pic. Give me second. Jan

    And in most cases the yards are lowered when there are no sails attached. Jan

    Would love to have a workshop like yours..... Jan
  13. amateur
    Yes, completely. I was affarid that you would not model nelsons place of death. Would be an ommision to this otherwise great build Jan

    Make sure you cut enough for the middle gun deck (Assuming the lower one will ever be finished) Btw did you ever consider the thought of rippi g out the lower deck in order to install the orlop deck? Jan

    His photobucket-account did not change for a long time. I wonder whether something happened (or maybe he is just awfully busy in (re)writing HMS-Victory's building instructions....) Jan

    Good choice to show the netting in place! Jan
  17. amateur
    Just for my understanding of the size: what is the size of this 1:350 cat? Jan Btw the photo showed the cat in one of the gunbarrels
  18. amateur
    Looks like a large model. Would still check on frams 8 an 9 though, if I were yiu. Jan
  19. amateur
    Hi elijah, I dont understand the part you mean. Earlier posts show the deck as one part, including the waterways. What exactly is missing? Jan
  20. amateur
    Any progress on the upper gundeck ? Jan
  21. amateur
    Or something Dutch: pacific cross roads has a HmS Tromp (cruiser) in 1:350. Should be a nice one. (Although, it is new, sothere won't be any after,arket...) Jan
  22. amateur
    The figures look very nice indeed. Lots of panting though... Do you have all the framing now, or are you still missing parts? Jan
  23. amateur
    How durable is that ezyline? it would be a real shame if the elastic material either slackens or even crumbles in a few years..... Jan
  24. amateur
    Check this one: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php Lots of interesting stuff there. Jan
  25. amateur
    perhaps you shouldn't have used the iron: it clearly states that it is not suited for heller stuff Jan

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.
