    H,
    Some of us do other things besides modelbuilding, and some don't, but it is a hobby, which means there is no hurry, it should be fun. If it takes another four years, so be it, if it takes longer fine with me. I'll visit when there is an update ... Besides the former, sometimes things happen in someone's life which get his/her attention refocused, we'll just need to accept that. Enjoy MSW at it's own speed.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the support.  Yeah its an occupational hazard.  Not the first time won't be the last.  Problem is my own mis measurements.  The ship is simply to big for this bottle neck.  I'm going to have to section it off and put each mast in one at a time.  That does mean a complete redo of the rigging.  My theory has always been though if a ship is not tough enough to get in a bottle its not tough enough to last.  I had a former client say he had one of my models fall off a shelf and sustained no damage.  I was happy to hear it and at the same time it figured,  I built that ship it to last.  This one needs to be the same way.

    On vacation for now but I plan on bottling her when I get back.  I've had to change some things rigging wise.  Should still look the same but she almost doesn't fit.  :/

    Got all the blocks pre-rigged. Will start adding them to the carronades soon. Wondering about making the rope coils for each one. Seems simple enough but I know it will be harder for me than it used to be.

    Well, she is complete in plenty of time for the Admiral's birthday.  The Admiral is happy and as we all know when the Admiral is happy everyone is happy.    
     
    The build was 9 months of fun and learning.  Completion is very rewarding.
     
    I would like to thank everyone who helped with the build especially Von_Kossa.  His log is what inspired me to build the Oseberg in the first place and his research kept me on the right track.   Also, thanks to Vivian Galad (we are watching your Oseberg) and all those who followed the build, your encouragement was necessary and wonderful.
     
    I probably would not be involved in this hobby at all without the MSW community.  There was not much information out there the first time I tried years ago.  Now, whatever you need just ask.  Thanks for the help.
     

     
    Time to move forward.  I will now attempt to catch up with Grant and Mobbsie with our first shot at the dark side "Bomb Vessel Granado 1742".

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.
