    His woodwork and metalwork skills are every bit as phenomenal as his rigging skills. We're really privileged to have his build log here in MSW.

    I wish I was capable of the work this man does, it is absolutely the best and the most amazing rigging I've seen. Start at the end of his build log and work backwards.

    Yes, in those cases where a block is attached to a yard, mast, or deck. In those cases where a block is used in a gun tackle lift......... Once the wire tail it twisted but before cutting off the twisted end I apply CA with a sewing needle applicator to the wire at the sides and the base of the twisted end removing excess CA with a Q-tip. This keeps the wire from separating from the block once the twisted end is cut off. After the CA is dry I cut off the twist very carefully allowing just the hint of twist remaining and I then gently file the "nub" to remove any sharp edges made with the side cutters and to achieve a flatter edge. See attached photo.

    I love restoration logs so I'm all settled in. It's amazing how well the sails cleaned up.

    You ole dog, you can't leave us in the lurch like that. I demand a hint!

    Glen, you just keep getting better and better with the ship portion of your builds. The Quinquereme is really neat in her current state but she's going to be stunning when you complete her. Hats off.

    Grant, the water surface now looks great, very natural. The whole project is absolutely superb.

    Tom, I think the pumps and grating looks great. What wood is the grating made from? Beautiful color. Enjoy your trip to Maine.

    Bob, glad to hear you're recovering. Don't overdo working on your beautiful Nina.
  22. Keith Black
    Yeah, I don't see it going in someone's home as the size makes it a bit impractical but I do see it going into a country club dinning area particularly an area near a coast. She's kinda special, I hope she finds that special place.

    I've been following since day one and I'm in awe of Leo's abilities and dedication to getting the Tally Ho back in the water as good or better than the first day she sailed long ago. There are no half measures to work that's been done on the Tally Ho, what's been done is first class. The planking was/is a great education of how to.
  24. Keith Black
    Here's he latest Tally Ho YouTube video, you can view how hanging a rudder is done in a real life situation.

    Allan, were you able to contact the owner? He's lowered the price by $150.00 but as large as the model is, it's going to be a difficult sell. https://www.ebay.com/itm/295773843113?hash=item44dd7eaea9:g:qEUAAOSwiJ5kX59S&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABIG383h50WJaj1wHYcR4wxVqsUJaM5H3EBvatqvDvTbHeGBQhiUhxJ4G8udreW1dX2i%2FkvFtZg%2FPlG8VZ2nI8NRxOsIq8G4iPUbg3jIGf0dxHFwcZ2xhZYnJgB3rR0WRsMgcx6Bx9iBuYzHwRZCtK9QEgalsVk%2Ff34komEaziofJqESpTvD%2FA9wwdIOvAQc7Y64nB2%2FjEIn34V62ywKVlh7PbTgDfwBVUYcTYvGv4VrKVV5FAFJB9J8%2FzTMCoqFqehMXGuZAicsYLMhGE0Ua04cmOG2o%2FiBlLdkzTjh0anO0Bu9chM%2BPkVxYv8GFCpizC2160UNZBTq%2FZZOGXlokqzqx%2BzqyCDzOPztn%2BuSjmQvSsFsmAUp%2BwpJatVY%2Bcx5bOcA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5LJuJegYg

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.
