    I guess I'll do anything to put off the serious rigging of the ship. Its going to be great, you worked out all the other intricacies like the port lids and carriage rigging. Dont Fear the Rigging, Rich. (apologies to B.O.C.) Sam

    Russ, So nice to see you getting some build time in. Those small parts sure look good. Sam

    I am taking notes also as I will be starting my masting soon. ( I hope) Sam

    JP, Looks good, the "Glacial Progress" (to steal a term from the HipExec SGram) is frustrating but the extra time spent will pay off in the long run. As far as mahogany is concerned, I agree, it's just not suited to this kind of work; if its not splitting then that open grain is just screaming at you, "Look at me, I am SO out of scale!" We will both know for the next build. Sam

    Rich, The coppering looks great to my eye! Your experiences with the Enterprise are showing up here, your applying Lessons Learned. Me likey! Your a more talented or more patient man than myself, there is no way I could work while Better Half watched TV in the same room, I cant even have a conversation with her when I am working! Sam

    Slog, That soda can gives a great idea oh how big she is going to be. Where does everybody find room to display such big builds? Sam

    Rich, have fun, but, its going to be HOT. Too bad your not coming out in December, the Lady washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain will be in LA, the cruises are always entertaining and informative. Sam

    rich, carriages just seem to go on and on and on dont they? You commented about blackening something in your last post, but I am unclear what? What you have look good thugh. Sam

    Why not file two of the new ones to shape, then the color will match and they will age together? Sam

    Sjors, eclat' du cuivre?? Sounds like this product? http://www.faultless.com/kk_1.php Although that's a powder and leaves a residue if you dont rinse well. Sam

    Thanks everybody, I had a feeling that was the way......except, as Jason pointed out, when it ist. Sam

    I am in the process of making the hooks for my gun carriage rigging. Now that i am about 25% done forming them I suddenly started thinking (a dangerous thing thinking) Should the point of the hook be perpendicular to the eye or parallel? My thought is that with the point of the hook at right angles to the eye the block will lay straighter. Will it effect my rigging at all? Am I over thinking this? Looking at this link it appears they want to be perpendicular: http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/consitutiongundeck.htm Thanks for any advice, Sam Perpendicular Parallel

    It's good for you to have two builds. It seems to work for you. Shampoo for copper??? Sam

    Sjors, I love the look of patina copper also. Years back I helped a friend make a bunch of copper lamps and lanterns. Some we used chemical patina, others were allowed to patina naturally. One thing I learned, fingerprints show up when you least expect them and in the most difficult place to remove. It might be an idea to give her a good cleaning when your done and try not to touch the copper with your bare hands after. Just a thought. Sam

    Looking good Rich! Happy anniversary. I am curious about one thing, do you think the CA will hold up over time on the hammocks? Thinking "out loud" here is all. Sam
  23. src
    WOW! It has that "You have to touch it" look of a piece of a fine hand rubbed finish, very nice. Enjoy your travels, and, There is ALWAYS time for fishing! the wife-unit will understand trust me..... Sam PS. Did I make myself clear earlier? WOW.

    Rich, Judging by the picture that stuff looks pretty thick, Do you have o back it up with anything while it dries? I see in the picture you have toothpicks underneath while its still wet. Sam

    Sjors, That looks great! Will you put a clear coat on it or let it patina? Sam

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.
