    The first quarterdeck gun is rigged. Note to self-person: always make sure other rigging is on the correct side of the rigging you are working with BEFORE securing the rigging with glue.

    Thank you all for the comments and the likes! I finished the upper gundeck rigging and am moving on to the quarterdeck guns rigging. Technically speaking, I don’t need to rig the spar deck and quarterdeck guns yet, but...why not?

    Welcome back and congratulations on kicking cancer’s butt!

    Well done on both projects!

    I use CA for my hinges (metal to anything else).
  11. GrandpaPhil
    Well done!

    Thank you everyone for all the likes and the comments! All guns that require breech ropes, have them: The first set of guns have their tackle (inhaul anyways, the outhaul wouldn’t fit).

    Welcome!

    Finishing up preparations to install the cannons (adding eyebolts for the breech ropes).

    Thanks, Mark! Here’s 40 eyebolts: I only needed 36, but I made a few extra, because every one of us knows what happens when you only have just enough small parts, lol.

    The rigging blocks for the forward guns are installed: At this point, all she needs are the eyebolts for the breech ropes, except for the bow chasers, which don’t have breech ropes. Next up, 36 eyebolts!

    The Victory has been moved again, and is in her new home.
  20. GrandpaPhil
    Congratulations! Well done!

    Beautiful collection and beautiful work!

    The learn to carve group project that is on this site is an excellent resource to learn carving. I could not carve prior to coming to this site. I have now successfully carved two figureheads (and multiple other stern type decorations for other projects).

    Welcome!

    Go slow. Take your time. Ask plenty of questions as needed. Most importantly, have fun! Rigging is actually one of my favorite parts of the model.

    I got my brick of beeswax at the hardware store.

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.
