    Just a little bit here and there. Had a windstorm break a bunch of limbs so had to do some yard work, unfortunately not ship "yard", shaped up the Main Lower Topsail yard, and turned the remaining yards. I will keep working them until we leave in mid May for our RV trip. The yard is not finished and only dry fitted here. Then I'll keep working the "pre-hanging" yards as we're traveling so they will be ready to hang when we return in October. I'm also going to be working on the whaleboats then also that way they can be hung on the ship when we get back. So as I have time until we leave, I'll be posting small updates as I progress. Who knows, I might get the yards hung and finished before we leave in the middle of May...here's hoping..

    Hung the yard, then added the lifts and the leech and bunt lines. Then finished all the rigging for it except the braces and clew lines which will be added as we go later in the rigging.

    Hi George and Augie, yes it's a big trip. I took it with me 2 years ago and never touched her. She's too big now to take with me. We only have a 22' Travel Trailer and it's pretty tight, I'm hoping to do the whaleboats and any yards that might be unfinished so that it will be a quicker finish when we get back.
     
    Thanks Piet, glad you made it home safely...
     
    Got the Main Lower Topsail prepped but not secured or rigged.

    Looking good John. ---She looks so sad setting there all by her lonesome. Almost like she knows you're not coming back for 5 months.   You should really consider taking her with you.

    Very nice build. I don't think I have seen this kit completed to this stage before. Morgan is a challenge and a very rewarding build. Congrats on working on her again. I'm at about the same stage as you are with my Model Shipways Morgan, I have started rigging the yards. Keep it up - you're almost there..

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.
