    Chuck I received my Cannon order yesterday. How do we get the cannon assembly jig?
  2. Jim Rogers
    I do😁
  3. Jim Rogers
    I am NOT a fan of the PE eyelets.
  4. Jim Rogers
    You could get a tight fitting mast coat, secure it to the upper deck and then hold in place with shrouds.

    If you are talking about the figure head that is hand painted. It is Chuck’s resin version. I also have a boxwood one but like the painted one more. If you are talking about the cheeks and brackets those are all available in Chapter five.

    In order to avoid that same issue I paint before I plank.

    Status pictorial update. Why are all the photo loading upside down?
  8. Jim Rogers
    Your brass rod idea is spot on. See photo. Then once the yard is secured you can attach with trusses or parrel lines. I have no idea why this loads photos upside down every time. Most annoying.

    Chuck Have you thought out the upper decks yet? I remember a conversation about their construction but can’t find it. Would it be possible to have open visible framing on half and completely planked on the other half?
  10. Jim Rogers
    Same here.
  11. Jim Rogers
    Chuck those ladder kits are great.

    You can also use electrical wire heat shrink. Comes in various sizes. Cut into proper size strip, slide into place, hit wit hair dryer and VIOLA strap. Do this on anchors all the time.
  13. Jim Rogers
    If cutting you need to account for the blade kerf otherwise a compounding error occurs.

    I would like to send a big thank you out to Chris Watton of Vanguard Models. I had an issue with a kit and four minutes after I hit send Chris answered back. We in the Model world are blessed to have Chris And Chuck Passaro and their sense of what a business should be

    If it is really noticeable I would carefully remove the glued part, sand it stain it then carefully re-glue the part.
  16. Jim Rogers
    I always rig the backstays last so I can tighten everything up.
  17. Jim Rogers
    Please share your expertise.
  18. Jim Rogers
    I use that and it works fine.
  19. Jim Rogers
    Chuck this is awful kind of you.
  20. Jim Rogers
    Make your own. Find what you want on the net, copy into print program, size it. Tape a white tissue sheet to a regular printer sheet and run it through the printer cut it out done. Here is one I made.
  21. Jim Rogers
    I just put micro bits in my pin vise and then Chuck it up in my drill press. Us an XY table for accuracy.
  22. Jim Rogers
    What glue did you use to attach PE?
  23. Jim Rogers
    Just pulled the trigger on the DOK from Age Of Sail.
  24. Jim Rogers
    The shrouds will hold the masts in place.
  25. Jim Rogers
    Chris is Age of Sail going to carry your small boat line?

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.
