Gluing the boltropes to the sails
Oliver24 replied to Oliver24's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I have found a video of a Santa Maria where we can see at 1:38 the way the rope was sew. Is this the correct way? -
Gluing the boltropes to the sails
Oliver24 replied to Oliver24's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Thank you guys! Can I ask how did you sew the bolt ropes to the sails? -
Can someone explain to me how the boltropes are glued to to sails? What glue is used, carpenter glue or super glue? Thank you in advance.

Good to hear that Jeff! Maybe their newer kits are more consistent.

Great info Guys! Thank you so much! So it seems that the Santisima Trinidad had indeed two different paintings : yellow and red. I will look closely the British National Museum`s website for captured Spanish ships. Also, the paintings of Carlos Parilla Penagos are beautiful...

Congratulations for your work! I am a big admirer of big Spanish ships and I would like to ask you if there are any surviving plans for the Montagnes/San Ildefonso/San Huan Nepomuceno or Santissima Trinidad from the period where they were built. -
Wow! Thank you so much Bruce! There seem to be some plans of the Santissima Trinidad also, however they seem new to me, not the originals

I wonder if there are any accurate plans big Spanish ships from the XVIII-XIX centuries. My understanding is that the plans of the flagship Santissima Trinidad are lost and only paintings or drawings have survived. I still don`t know if the hull was red, yellow or brown as there are several versions... But what about the San Juan Nepomuceno, the San Ildefonso or the Montagnes? Do we have some accurate information about the plans and description of these ships?

Dear Steve, I will get aboard with your permission. The project is very interesting and I like the ship

I picked up the package today! The seller was kind enough to wrap it in multiple shock absorbing bubble bags. I opened it as soon as I could. On a first glance it seems that everything is there. The small plastic boxes with the small parts are unopened so I presume that nothing is missing. The instructions, plans and the story of the ship is there as well. There are at least two pages with rigging instructions which is great. My only concern so far is the slightly darker lines on one of the brown laser cut parts which you can see from the pictures. I don`t know yet if it will be a problem or not...All in all, I can say that it is quite a heavy package with a lot of content. It is bigger than I expected...It will be challenging build. For 1/4th of the retail price, it is a steal.

Nice build! I will follow you closely since in the near future I am planning to build a similar ship and I have much to learn. Will running blocks be used in this ship? I would like to see the rigging process of them

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.
