    Will this set the bundled up cords nicely on the pins, so that I can shape them?

    Continued progress on the ship. Require some help. Would anyone be kind to recommend how to shape the end rigging in place on the belaying pins. Some of the cord is so light that I am wetting the cord, and holding in place until dry with weights, but if anyone can advise the best way to shape the end rigging it would help me, thanks in advance.

    Starting to do the sails, corrected the anchor rigging, and added the life boats. The rigging is slow, and tedious.

    Hi Michael, I am presently doing the anchors on my ship build. I have attached a photo of what I have done. I used black rope, and just did a few turns, but also used nails to simulate the assembly.

    Thanks E.J, I see we are working, and have worked on the same ships. Your Le Soleil Royal, and La Couronne look great as well. Also, what do you know one kit that I also have in waiting is The Royal Louis.

    Thank you so much, the coloring, and effect is beautiful, for my next build I will try these dyes. Regards, JW

    Thanks I will look into it. Yes I always want to keep the grain structure of the wood. It brings out the beauty of the wood, and the natural texture. Thanks again.

    Peter, I managed to obtain different color grades in walnut, and used stain to get the final colors. The blue is a mix of Saman water based stains to get the right shade I wanted. I never use paint on wood. The top coat is oil based from Minwax (Natural). Golden Oak, Ebony was used for the hull sides, and mix of Dark Walnut & Provincial & a touch of Mahogany to get the lower hull shade. Regards, John

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.
