    Congratulations! Well done!

    Thank you all for the comments, the likes and just for stopping by! One set of sails, reefing points and bolt ropes included: Now, on to the running rigging!

    Looking good! The gunport templates are very nice. My Victory had cardboard templates to be used after the second planking, for gunport positioning. Your first layer of planking came out very well!

    Where do you get silkspan from?
  9. GrandpaPhil
    OC, Thank you very much! Allan, I might try silkspan for the Victory’s sails. I’ve been getting more detailed and trying new techniques/materials with each model. I’m still getting better.

    Installed reefing points: I wanted some thicker thread for bolt ropes, but according to Zu Monfeld, the bolt ropes had thickness between 1/3 and 2/3 the diameter of their respective stays, so… I guess I’ll use what I have on hand.

    Thank you all for the likes and for stopping by! One rough stitched set of sails: Next up, reefing points and bolt ropes!

    Congratulations! Well done!

    Looking forward to seeing this build! Are you going to carve your own decorations for this one, like you did on your Soleil Royal?
  16. GrandpaPhil
    Incredible work!

    The fore top sail is done! Only the jib stay sail and jib sail remains!
  18. GrandpaPhil
    Congratulations! Well done!

    Making progress! Two stitched, three to go:

    Making progress: The main sail still needs reefing lines and a bolt rope, but I’ll assembly line those and do all of them at once.
  21. GrandpaPhil
    Very nicely done!

    Congratulations! Very nicely done!

    Thank you all for the “likes” and for stopping by! I am still working on the main sail slowly. I decided today that I am also going to make bolt ropes. I keep improving and getting more in depth with every model.

    Ingrid And Other Studies is $21 plus $14 shipping on Abebooks Plate V of the History Of American Sailing Ships by Howard I Chapelle shows a single seat of ease to either side of the bowsprit, on the head, on the Prince De Neufchatel. Please ignore my notes. This was my copy that I used to build the hull of my model.

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.
