    Blue Ensign
    texxn5 got a reaction from Blue Ensign in Charles W Morgan by texxn5 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64   
    Not much done today, had things to do other than ship work. I cleaned up the lines, tightened the Lanyards properly and tied off the ends. The Lower Foremast is now finished. Time to move on to the Mainmast Shrouds.

    Thanks for all the likes and kudos guys. Next up was to complete the 5th deadeye and shroud, which is a single line with a spliced loop to go over the mast and down to the port side to complete the shrouds for the Foremast. Then the Forestay was made and attached over the top of the shroud loops and down to the Bowsprit and then siezed in 2 places one at the top and one at the bottom. It is attached at the top using 2 Bullseyes and lashed using a Lanyard. The flexibility of the serving machine really came in handy making the splice and then serving it into the line. Would really be hard to do this without it, and it has many adjustments.

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.
