    Charlie, a photo of your build would help a bunch.

    Nice job, Keith. Keith

    Johnny, whatever choice you make is the right one. Just remember, you're restoring a model, not building a new one.

    Paul, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    So perfect, I'm totally amazed.

    She's a little beauty, Mark.

    If not decapitated he'll be spared hearing his wife's nagging.

    Welcome to MSW. No plans just the below is all I could find, hope it helps. https://solidwoodmodelyacht.com/en/vintage_rare_jacrim_seaworthy_boats_toy_model_wooden_pond_yacht_flying_cloud.php https://www.ebay.com/itm/275954120557?hash=item404025b76d:g:oVwAAOSwj0NkqGQL&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAE05z%2FDj7QON72UtWbRZHbyzE8umdx2sHiuaGgpmCC7sVnTYI%2F5KI6N47Np%2BBX2NXe0bSfVqXvq%2FkNnHfqIota7uqp2%2B%2FJ3jYUysMVk6JlbRae0SURo5aUaz8BG9UlZCmH0jtwoZTK%2FLd%2Bmta8istOZ7wt8WHjDBkkccvgvvPn9xnkEHU%2BHFssFv0mAitCD9oVcQ1DXqQtWMH1GqQx%2BGcCeX2vkYbKJ5ofA%2BEi9dugD%2BmTA7X3cS9HPWg4N0Nh1wyjJfXDKDMvG3vXp3S4LM%2BzJlNNNuykN6A4Vsqs1XhU%2BUwfqGXosQrQLBEuLsG%2BOsReTvWoTEyLKFUOvRFTIkDTc%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8SDz5rXYg

    Using hot water as you did I'm surprised the sails didn't shrink but all's well that ends well. Do you plan on ironing the sails to help eliminate some of the puckering? A build log by Burma (see below) on his Cutty Sark, his sails are some of the best I've seen. If I were to ever build a model with sails I'd sure try to copy his techniques.

    Keith, MSW has over 40,000 members with many varied interest. I scour MSW at least twice a day and often times more. The biggest change I see is the increase in 3D printing. There's room at the table for all. If you feel you're putting too much effort into posting, why not just take and post photos with bare bones comments? It's summer heading into autumn here and folks are busy getting ready for winter. I dare say in two months time you see an increase in interest.

    Nate, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    You may want to make sure the sails didn't shrink, they cleaned up nicely.

    Hold my beer.

    Siggi, that's absolutely beautiful.

    Fred, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Once the mast and yards were completed I found it much easier to do as much off model rigging of the mast as possible.
  17. Keith Black
    George, welcome to MSW. It looks like you're coming along nicely with your model. Glad to have you aboard.
  18. Keith Black
    Keith, good to hear from you. I hope you had a successful season.

    Giuseppe, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  20. Keith Black
    Looking ever so much better.
  21. Keith Black
    TMJ, I didn't realize you needed post. You'll have to make those yourself. Because you have a lathe it shouldn't be a problem.

    I know, I know. How bout a longhorn cattle transport ship? Betsy approves.

    Bob, personally I don't like copper plating the hull as IMHO the copper plates look out of scale. If I were to ever build a model with a copper plated hull I'd paint it with copper paint and call it done. If you insist on plating I suggest copper tape. From reading several build logs with builders using both, the tape seems to apply easier with a better end result, once again IMHO. Your planking looks great.

    You can use white craft wire, sure beats having to paint brass wire. https://www.wirejewelry.com/ultra-white-silver-plated-copper-craft-wire-1.html

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.
