    Hello, I thank everyone that has ordered rope from my site. I hope you all like it and can't wait to see it show up in some build logs. I've been busy working on making cable laid rope for the past few weeks. So far I've managed to make them range from 1.25mm - 2.1mm in diameter. Reaching 3mm is the goal eventually. According to my calculations, a 1/64 HMS Victory would need an anchor cable that large. The pictures below are of the 2.1mm cables. I hope to have them all available online by next week.

    Chuck's blocks and rope are the best out there. Master Korabel also makes decent blocks that are a little more budget friendly. They can be bought from Vanguard Models or Crafty sailor. Crafty sailor also has some really nice rope from Russia. Buying or building a ropewalk and making your own rope is the cheapest option in the long run. It's also pretty fun to make! I also sell rope on Ropes of Scale. I'm still working on my product line so the options at the moment are limited.

    The deck is looking good Vane!

    CA/crazy glue is the fastest method that I've used and had no problems. Some kits give copper tape that needs to have details added.

    It never does. I found that Chucks method works even for walnut. This method helps immensely with bow planking. You bend the planks laterally then clamp them. Take a blow dryer to them for 2-3 minutes and they keep there shape.

    Simply perfection.

    Welcome to the sponsors club! More sources of wood is never a bad thing.

    I'm with everyone else here, That deck is well done.

    This is going to be another masterpiece from you. The photo's look really good. What lighting are you using in your photos? Soft box, LEDs, A bare bulb on a stick?
  31. BenD
    Judging from your lady nelson you will be fine. I looked at the Manual for Sphinx and it's 146 pages of really good instructions. I feel like very few people will abandon this kit mid way through.
  32. BenD
    You are doing great Mike, You are going to get over the finish line before me that's for sure.
  33. BenD
    Chris you might want to check your site. The Alert is showing as $0.00
  34. BenD
    Looking amazing as always. Ratlines really are a tedious thing to do on a model. 1270 knots... James man are your eye's still working?
  35. BenD
    Those blocks look really nice. Is it possible to round the sheave more with the laser?

    Someone asked me if I could put in the circumference on my sizes.

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.
