    By M109A2, are you referring to the Paladin?

    The learning process continues. This is my favorite part of this hobby. I understand much more about how the ship operates than I did before. I keep discovering more blocks that I didn’t realize that I needed. I’m glad that I made the extra 100. I just made the extra spars for the top of the studding sails.

    The Arizona is looking good!

    I agree, that’s an amazing collection! Excellent work!

    Thank you for all the likes and the comments. I installed and rigged the Fore Course. I also rigged the sprit yard.

    I’d like to build the Sultana again. I built the Model Shipways version, but I didn’t put sails on it. Count me in for doing a POB scratch build.

    I have the Mantua version of this kit which has a stern which is built completely differently. It looks to me like it is having you form the curvature of the stern from parts 14 and 30, much like you did with the bow. You are essentially using parts 14 and 30 as filler blocks. They will make planking much easier. Victory had a round tuck stern which means that the planking curves up to the stern castle. I planked mine without any filler blocks, because the kit didn’t come with them. I should have made some. I had massive problems that you won’t have, because I didn’t.

    Very nice ride! Welcome to Model Ship World!

    Using clay as a part holder is a good idea. I’ll have to remember that.
  13. GrandpaPhil
    Very nicely done! Are you putting sails on your model?

    Look at it from the challenge perspective. I have to rig my Victory in the near future. I will hopefully be at that stage this winter.
  15. GrandpaPhil
    Excellent choice!

    Excellent work! The Admiral just bought me the plans for La Reale from AAMM (the French NMM) for my birthday.

    The Pickle is coming along nicely!

    Lol!

    10 double sheave rigging blocks:

    I have to make more double sheave rigging blocks.

    Topmast staysail is in place: I had intended to rig all of the fore and aft sails first, but I realized why zu Monfeld recommends going from fore to aft, bottom to top, so next up is the fore course.
  22. GrandpaPhil
    Thank you!
  23. GrandpaPhil
    I look forward to seeing them.

    Excellent recovery!

    Middle staysail is on and rigged:

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.
