    Danny, Amazing recovery on the model. I can only pray that someone would be that generous to my family if I left something unfinished.

    I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your son. You have my family’s greatest condolences. The amount of rigging for a cannon is a personal choice. I personally tied the rigging directly to the eyebolts in my last couple of builds (I’m still learning and getting better). I have never tried to make my tackles removable. There is an Anatomy of the Ship published for Granado. I would strongly recommend it for detail information, including positions of davits and ship’s boats, which may not be readily apparent from the plans that come with a kit.

    Thank you very much, Richard! Thank you all for the comments and the likes! The bitts are installed and progress has been made: I made part of another rigging fitting that I do not know the name to. It looks like a large cleat. I will post pictures the next time I work on Victory (soon).

    Thank you all very much for the comments and the likes! The starboard mouldings are complete and the starboard ladder is in place. The side of the portside ladder is made and the two bitts for the quarterdeck are made and pending final painting/completion.

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.
