    Rigging continues.  Finally got the rest of my deadeyes rigged.  I think i used a different technique on each one.  I finally got the seizing knots how I wanted by the time I got to the last one.  I also got the boom strung up.  Rigging figure 8s around the belaying pins was a bit of an adventure but worked out in the end.  
     
    Next will be the two smaller booms but im not sure how that will go without weight to hold against the lines.

    Mast work continues.  getting the brass work for the topmast mounting took me a while to figure out how to form the brass tight, solder it shut, etc.  I was quite happy with how it turned out. 
     

     
    Dry fitted the masts again just for quick look.  Just need to get my booms finished, then I can start pulling line.

    Thanks all.  I think my admiral is more excited than I about finally nearing completion.  Been almost a year I've tinkered with this off and on now.  Tonight I got all my cargo done and installed.   I made a couple of wooden boxes to add to the mix. 
     


     
    I also finally got around to working on the chain plates.  One side done.

    finally started my first rope work.  Took a while getting things snug, but will go quicker as I progress.

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.
