    Thanks guys. I'm sure that I've used that "green banana" line myself. Matt, great minds must think alike. I came to the same thought just before reading your post, and I've started on that focs'l work. Bob

    Looks great Don. I had the same problem printing the quarterdeck templates. Bob

    Thanks so much Hamilton. Thanks Chuck for the update. I haven’t done the lids yet and probably won't for a while, as I find them an attractive nuisance that draws body parts to them during other work. With regard to pace of work, as I told Frank, at 82, I’m afraid that I can’t afford to slow down. Bob

    Thanks so much Frank and Vlad for the generous comments and thanks also to the "likes". Frank, when you get to be my age, there's no time to waste. Bob

    Thanks so much Glenn and Chuck for the comments and thanks also to the "likes". Chuck, any timetable on chapter nine? Bob
  26. rafine
    Work is now complete on chapter eight. This included the making and mounting of the aft riding bitts, mounting of the previously made stove, mounting of the partial bulkhead, mounting of the remaining focs'l deck beams with their hanging and lodging knees, the mizzen mast partner, and making and installation of the carlings and ledges for both the focs'l and quarterdeck, and the mounting of the cat tails. A lot of tasks done, but mostly straightforwardThe last attached photo shows the overall current state of completion. further work will await Chuck's completion of chapter nine and release of it's parts. Bob

    I've completed the stove. This little gem is a tribute to Chuck's skill, both in design and production. Even a very old guy like me would have trouble screwing it up. A fun item. I tried some weathering, but liked it better without, so repainted over it. Bob

    Thanks so much Rusty and the “likes”. Always appreciated. Bob

    Great to see you back at it Rusty. Now we need to see more. Bob

    Thanks so much Don and Jean-Paul for the nice comments and thanks also to the "likes". Bob

    I am now in the midst of the chapter eight work. In summary, I added the foremast coat, the bowsprit step, the manger boards, the forward riding bitts, the Y bitt, the forward six deck beams and their hanging and lodging knees and the the fore mast partner and its carlings. Most of the work was straightforward, but some of the fitting of the parts (such as the manger boards) is quite fiddly. I should add that I moved the notches for the forward deck beams, as called out by Chuck , and in accordance with the templates ,which were used constantly and were essential. I will now build the stove and complete the remainder of the chapter eight work. Bob

    Thanks so much Rusty and Glenn for the nice comments. I look forward to the resumption of your work, Rusty and the beginning of your's, Glenn. Bob

    Thanks so much Don, Ryland and Thomas for the generous comments and thanks also to the "likes". All of your interest is greatly appreciated. Bob

    I'm finally back from New Jersey, where we ironically ran into a hurricane. Nearly six weeks away didn't change my mind about redoing the forward pump handles, so that was the first thing that I did upon returning. Next, I did the aft handles. After those, the elm pumps were next. I was having trouble creating slots in the laser cut brackets for the handles, so I chose to make up my own by laminating three pieces of 1/32" strip and shaping that assembly appropriately. To complete the chapter seven work, I added the remaining deck beams and their knees. Now, I will wait for Chuck's return and the release of the chapter eight parts and the stove. Bob

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.
