    The turnbuckle you made looks very nice! No one will likely notice the flag staff if you don't point it out.

    Great idea on a way to clean the parts, Jerry - will need to give that a try! For the next 19 days 6 hours and 34 minutes, I live in Little Rock. Following about 5 days of driving, the whole clan will be taking up residence in Eastport, Maine. Going back home after 15 years away, including about 3 in Broward County before moving to Arkansas.

    Well, I think we can all agree that it is NOT a helicopter....

    Too funny, Larry! Bet the poor Moose struggled reeling in the fisherman, though......

    Those lights are looking very nice, Adriann! Is the bar open after dark now?

    Great job on the ports and the windows, Sherry. That flower bed is gorgeous! I think "You Know Who" will be pleased - maybe Anja can get Sjors to replicate that garden in Schiedam!

    Hope you have a fantastic Birthday, Jason!

    John - Ships like the Morgan are a bit of a challenge - to get all of the fiddly deck pieces (rendering oven, cutting in stage etc) right can take quite a bit of time. Also, there are no cannon, and war ships seem to be a prefered subject for many model builders. As I get more experience, the Morgan is on my list of subjects matter - I think it is a cool looking ship, and like many have been onboard many times over the years. BTW - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    Nice looking planking, John. Enjoy your trip - how far north are you going?

    Probably just got confused, Sjors. "You Know Who" has a reputation for asking for pictures, but he is far too much of a gentleman to ask Sherry for any :rolleyes: Sherry - sounds like the A/C installation is working out - glad you took the plunge!

    While the first steamboats arrived around 1811, the more opulent passenger types were several years behind, with the Natchez I probably the first classic boat arriving around 1823. Most of the prior ones didn't have the same look as the model you are looking at building.

    Piet - Thank you for sharing that with us! What a wonderful way for your grandson to become more familiar with what your Dad accomplished!

    Finally had a chance to do some searching tonight. While I have not been able to trace the primary source, Goodwin provides a set of tables which give length, thickness, and number of bolts for various rates. He also offers a variety of types of supports as well as noting that the distribution of the shrouds was primarily a factor of avoiding gun ports.

    Coming along very nicely, Jerry. I believe that your assumption on the cleats is accurate - most of the lines would affix at some angle so this would align the cleat with the intended line. I have seen the same on several tall ship plans.
  24. trippwj
    Looks like a great start! Did you find the laser level helped with the alignment? Have been toying with the idea on my builds as well.

    Very nice detail work, Grant. Hope your paint re-do came out well!

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.
