    Thank you. It does feel good. The only downside is I have to find somewhere to put it😂

    After approximately 16 years I’m calling this finished. Thank you for the kind words and likes everyone. Thanks also to those who provided guidance.

    Made a display cradle from scrap of Tasmanian oak finished with shellac. It isn’t great but it will serve it’s purpose for the foreseeable future, I may redo it one day……

    Getting so close. Boat and anchors fitted. Braces and many coils to go

    Been a productive week for ship building. Cause I’ve been doing it instead of other things I should be doing 😂 Very close to finishing, not fitting sails as my kit didn’t come with prefabricated sails and I can’t sew. Yard braces, rope coils, fitting the anchor and the boat to go.

  23. Tompslattery
    Starboard rat lines done. .. port to go....
  24. Tompslattery
    Yeah they are only tied at the moment, no glue. I wasn’t sure how much sag they should have
  25. Tompslattery
    After avoiding starting the rat lines for a few weeks, today I finally started

    Hi @Rick01 yes I epoxied the mast in, following what was described in Mastini’s ship modelling simplified. I did have tremendous difficulty trying to get the stirrups on the foot ropes to be even lengths. Rigged the bobstay the other day, no photo yet as my back started spasming when I was doing it. Another occasion where the plans where the plans were different in different locations. Needed a double block where a single block was specified earlier.

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.
