	Indeed, It's been a while since I've used this method. Only for quickly drilling a hole when the XActo knife happens to be nearby 😉

	The next step is gluing the forecastle to the model. Since I still haven't found an answer to the question of how the yard of the fore sail was raised, should I do it with or without a knight? Without a knight is easiest, but then I'll be stuck later. With, I'll first have to adjust the forecastle decks. I'm currently enjoying building the Corel yacht the most. And I'm learning things on this (practice) model that I can later apply to Mary Rose. Please be patient, to be continued.

	And after a few more extra details I think the hull is now complete Next : mast, yards, rigging, sails...

	Making a railing for the quarterdeck. Drilling all the holes for the metal pins seems excessive. But it makes for easy installation later. Clamp the parts in the vice and glue with CA. Ready Making the "overloop" (I don't think there's an English word for this). These are for attaching the main and fore sail sheets. Corel doesn't provide this for the fore sail. So, no room. Too far forward Or in the mast So, the mast needs to be moved aft... Work in progress. Railing in place (and the main sail "overloop"). The renovated deck on the cabin is also ready Fore sail "overloop" in place.

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.
