I just found your update Ian and it is very impressing. I see you decided not to go with sails, I like the looks of it and may now have to re-think my plans of installing sails. I was hoping to have mine finished by end of August but now end of Sept is the next target. The rigging looks great. I knew you were going to pass me!!

I like the looks of your treenails. So often they are far too pronounced taking away from the rest of the model. Great Job!

Sherline model 4400DRO Lathe
donrobinson replied to J T Lombard's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Had my mill and lathe for two years before I bought the DRO this year, would not be without it. I would highly suggest to buying it. -
Your rigging is very impressive. You are a very brave man with that dremel, good call on the bumpkins. Nice work

Lawrence: Thanks, I was a little apprehensive about installing them as, unlike you, I don't have a wonderful Admiral who could sew them. The ones in the kit are almost completely done so I think I can get away with using some of that iron on sewing tape. At least that's the plan Darrell: Thanks, great of you to stop by

Thanks Dave. My arms are getting a workout now with the upper shrouds and tieing them off, good part is they don't have ratlines!

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.
