Thanks for the nice comment. No no, no SotS for me. I find it a very interesting book. And mister McKay has thought and studied about this ship very thoroughly. Maybe in a few years one of these two will be the next project.

After banging my head against the wall a lot (luckily the wall is not damaged 😇). And been busy with military model building and repainting part of the house I managed to get one sail ready. Normally each rope has to go around the yard 2 times, but on this small yard this is too much. One time around looks better. The wrong methode (bottom) and the better metode (top) And I am now the proud owner of this book. With this very useful info for me. So I'm not going to adjust the mizzen sail. Thanks for comments, following and likes

Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Thanks for the comments But if I look closely at the photos. My painting and weathering skills have become a bit "rusty" after a summer of rigging and sailmaking on my Pelican. Next model will be better 😇 -
M29 Weasel family 1/72 (scratch) by Backer Finished
Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
5 Weasels are slowly becoming active again First to do is making the wheels and tracks. On the original resin model this was quite primitive. The aim is to make an idler, sprocket and 4 bogies to determine the positions of the wheel assembly. Work in (slow) progress a primitive test bogie Thanks for following -

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.
