But if it wasn't a bit out there it wouldn't be Lamborghini 😉 -
Thank you for your encouraging words Derek, I have had a look on Ebay and have bid on a 36inch folding rule. If successful I'm giving blocks a go. With Syren not making rope any more and reading the articles on rope making, I'm definitely thinking of making my own ropes but will have to wait till I can get Chuck's rope rocket, but that wont be until the rush for them has died down. I shall let you know how I get on with the block making 🙂 The deck has been repaired and it's nothing the mast ring won't hide😊

Thanks to everyone for stopping by 😉 I decided to have a crack at making the deadeyes for the shrouds and mainstay, the wood is cheap pine dowels from my local DIY store, therefore if I do use these on the ship they'll get painted These five took over 3 hours, but that includes all the unusable ones as well 😁 Only have another twelve to make. On the strength of this I may even attempt making the blocks too😏😬 Cheers Oh, also I've damaged the deck planking, as the drill bit snagged and jumped when enlarging the hole for the mast☹😩, I have to replace two pieces of deck plank and make a slightly larger ring for the foot of the mast, these things happen🙄

Another day off and some more time in the shipyard. Stanchions made, glued and painted. The rope rail is just dry fitted at the moment. I did make a boo-boo and put stanchions round to the prow until I realised that it would get in the way of the swivel posts and timber heads It was soon rectified 😏 Not sure wether to tie off the rail rope to the swivel post or terminate it at the stanchion 🤔 Just have a rail to put in at the poop deck area and then get the black paint out. Thanks for your patience and interest. Cheers. Btw Jack, a tad colder today -3 thru the day and got down to -7°c at night. Somewhere in Scotland dropped to -18°c or thereabouts. Still like a balmy spring day to you but bloody cold to me🥶😂

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.
