    Getting close. I am not too far from tackling the davits myself,although at a different point in the build sequence. I am considering just how to go about getting a triple sheave system in the ends of those kit supplied basswood davits. I think thatI m going to toughen the wood by saturating it with thin CA and let it harden up before drilling 6 little holes,and then maybe another shot before enlarging them. Does that sound reasonable?.I have made some really small bulleyes by end drilling some small birch dowel using that approach.

    Today has a beautiful bright blue sky and 80 degree temperatures so I thought I would take some outdoor pictures of the Morgan.

    Over the last few days I completed the Standing Rigging and the whaleboat stations. I'll just show the progress here and the details will be on my website for anyone interested. It's close to time for getting ready for our annual RV trip, so work in the shipyard will be slow if at all from this point until we return. I will be working on the whaleboats as we travel and will post updates as I can.

    Thanks George, you're right the sunlight just seems to bring it out - almost looks real I guess. I get carried away with the photos and then want to share them, and I'm not sure whether I'm boring people or not. The rigging updates are hard to photograph, but the outside pictures seem to show them better than the indorr workbench photos, so I don't know - I guess I'll just show them and not worry about it...thanks for stopping by....

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.
