    Ah ha, here are the images that confused me; Because I work in a slightly different order then the plans are numbered. I mistook the preventer and fore stays for the burten pendents. There are no burten pendents as shown in the third image the yard is hauled with tackle. I work off model competing yards, set upper shrouds, attach lower shrouds to mast held in place with tape around the mast add rig yards to mast, then set mast, stays, rigging etc., then set lower shrouds. So in short I was messed up. But I certainly learned allot from everyone.

    Hi guys, I should have been clear on what I'm working, it's the HMS Fly. The plans are not clear between the preventer stay, fore stay and burton pendent. Not near my plans now but will attach image of plans to help clarify. Good discussion and Happy New Year. Mark

    Hi Tim, good luck on the new project. I'm building the CS as well but I've put it on the self in order to finish up another project that's been begging completion.Your keel issue sounds familiar. My suggestion in to photograph the H--- out of it from all angles, study them carefully if not to your liking, contact your supplier.While you are thinking of getting rope and block replacement consider smaller grating as well the the scale supplied is way to big. Also make sure you add blocking between the bulkheads, in my opinion they will help when it comes to an even and smooth planking job. Have a happy holiday... If you want to contact me send a pm. Mark

    Darrell, again thanks for the images of the pendants. Thought I'd drop in and take a look at you build. Nice work all around. Stay safe on the roads and have a great holiday.

    Thank you gentleman for clearing up the issue. Darrell the images were a great help.

    Hi all, in preparing the mast before attaching yards and stepping. I'm confused by these pendants, once served with an eye splice, is the main stay passed through the splice and back down to be secured? Or is a hook attached to the stay and attached to the eye slice loop. I'm trying to get needed all standing rigging on the masts in place so when the yards are hung any additional standing and running rigging (stays and back stays) will be easier to install. Hope this is clear. Thanks for your help in advance. I wish you all and all those near and dear to you a joyous season. Mark

    Thanks for the likes guys. I've not posted for some time (life gets in the way). I'm at this point with the CS my plan is to finish the outer hull work, base paint and finish the cabins and put her aside for a while. Quite frankly this is not one of my favorite builds. I've attached some images of to date progress.

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.
