    She is gonna be a stunner.

    Ship is turning to Starboard so he is making sure the track is clear.

    Enjoy, you earned it.

    Make a Diorama out of her. Strip her down, put in a yard setting on blocks and then do as you please with restoring the rigging.

    I didn’t see a tab either and that would make it hard to remove the top of the ribs when you remove the frame. If you look real close at Chuck’s photos you’ll note the tape is just the width with a tab at top. You want to be able to grip it with tweezers and remove it easily when required. Not sure if the entire thing taped would come off easily, I mean it may but....

    I think you have a little bit too much tape. Looking good.

    I don’t understand “lists”?

    Yellow Cedar is a great deck choice.

    Referred to as “Crossing the T”

    I embroidered the sails on my Santa Maria. I would show pictures but she was sold.

    Looks awesome

    It is going to turn out just fine. As you add floorboards and seating, coats of paint, masts and rigging, she will look great.

    Plastic modeling sure has changed in the past fifty years.

    I am so looking forward to getting this model. Thanks Chuck. I wish I had your talent.

    I read the title “Professional Help Needed” and saw you were also a Chief Torpedoman so I said to self “Well at least he is asking”

    Probably the Byrnes with the sliding table top. Best on the market. Check sponsors links.

    Dawn dish soap

    Jeff try using black wire to rig your blocks, wrap, three tight twists and in a hook. Same way Chuck describes in Medway Longboat rigging. It works really well and once you get it down it is easier, less time consuming and no block breakage.

    You can get those closed heart blocks (green circle)at Syren Ship Company.

    I attach a pencil to a dowel, dertermine the height needed and run it around the hull. Model Expo sells a waterline marker that is basically what I discribed.
  21. Jim Rogers
    I always do all my standing rigging before adding yards and sails.
  22. Jim Rogers
    Stunningly Beautiful.
  23. Jim Rogers
    It is going to be a beauty. Can’t wait. Is that figurehead, a work of art, going to be included in the kit?
  24. Jim Rogers
    Lighting. You need excellent lighting and a vintage stereo setup.😎

    She is looking great.

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.
