Looking good Patrick. For your bitts, you may wish to consider inserting a brass pin into the "foot" of each vertical post and drilling a corresponding hole into the deck, then gluing them in place with epoxy. This would ensure they don't come off again when tension is applied to the rigging lines that will eventually go around them.

Thanks Gil. I've almost finished fitting out the Mizzen yards, so hope to install these this weekend. You're absolutely right about getting the hands back out of the rigging again - I'm sure I'll get plenty more practice at this before I'm done!

Congratulations Keith. You are going to love this machine. Frank is right, you won't need any more instructions than what it comes with. I guarantee this will become one of your all time favourite tools.

David, I only just noticed your log. It looks like you've had a steep learning curve - well done! I know nothing about card modelling, having never made one, but I do recall Chris Coyle posting a really interesting and useful tutorial on the subject. Here is the link if you haven't already found it: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/tags/forums/Intro+to+Card+Models/

Great job on the planking Augie. I'd have to agree with the "no paint" vote.

Mark, Do-overs are just another way that this hobby provides value for money. Twice the enjoyment of making each part (at least).

Lovely work on the traveller and sheave Mobbsie. Sorry that I was right about the tools I have a cure though! Go and treat yourself to some nice high quality tools to help you get over it. As my Dad always says, "the quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten". Smart fella, my Dad!

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.
