    That one gives a clear view, Steven. But that's a Spanish ship, and it seems that there can be huge differences between the ships from different countries, for that matter even between different regions within a country!

    Don't we all, Nenad, don't we all ...

    First she must install the standing rigging, else those soldiers of Nenad are unemployed ....

    Hardly schematic ... at that scale it's clear enough. Beautiful work!

    Aydin, Even whilst working during the week you make good progress. Thanks a lot for the Watt, Volt, Ohm explanation (not my forte) it cleared some questions for me ... Still looking forward to your posts. I enjoy your build tremendously! Cheers

    Thank you for the tutorial, Thanasis. It's a mini masterclass on manual metalworking!

    Dick, In that last image it seems to be attached to the forecastle ... looking at your post before that, I see discrepancies between images a. in your first post the main stay is only visible in the first image, in the second it doesn't show, as in you last post, it's not clearly visible, however, it seems to be behind the sail, not in front as one might expect ... do these ships always have main stays is the next question popping up ... b. I would expect an additional stiching would make the sail weaker, not stronger. Most tears in tissue start on the stiches(!)

    Such detail, beautiful ... it never bors me, can watch again and again ...

    Deadeye's are more like a block and sheave, the standing rigging is missing ratlines too ... those are the things which struck me immediately ... I can't figure out how the standing rigging is attached to the masts ... there will probably be some more, so I'll search on ...

    Brian, you impatient half blind ... I do like the painting on the right though ....... the others are a tad unclear ... Sam, Don't listen to these dolts ... take your time ... when you hurry it may turn against you ... Cheers

    No Sjors, next weekend, i.e. after todays ... so eat your popcorn, and wait with us. Don't be mean, pass the bowl please ...

    Hello Dick, At least you give yourself a considerable amount of time to ponder on the complications sails may bring ... Now that you mention the rigging, you aroused my curiosity, and made me wonder what the difference will be like ... time to search and be one step ahead ... Cheers

    Dick, Couldn't you airbrush with templates ... maybe more work, but you'll keep your printer in one piece, besides those sails in former days were hand painted too Cheers

    Hoi Kees, Now this looks promising!!! I can't wait to see more ... Any news on the treatment ... hope you are feeling good! Cheers

    Looking 'spiffy' ready for the next phase ... A job well done. Looking forward to the planking bit ... Good luck with the renovation activities! Don't get injured, we want more posts ........ Cheers

    I would call them deadeyelets ... could you make them even smaller !!!!!!! I think not with the same finish ... Stunning work Nenad
  19. cog
    Pfff, with all those masterful crafted details, won't it get a bit heavy ... will it stay afloat ... You must have a basket full of ideas, for I my creativity would have been exhausted halfway the build ... Great work Patrick!! Cheers

    Congratulations with the appraisal, JesseLee. Take it easy, the shipyard won't move, and we can wait (just hurry up ) Cheers

    John, Not so strange, it all depends on the help you are offered ...
  22. cog
    John, In addition to what Mark wrote, often you klick to start a line, if you klick again, you create a point where the line "bends" or makes a turn, until you klick again. Double klick defines usually the end of the line in this sequence. To draw a straight line from A to B is often done by pressing the left mouse button down and keep it suppressed, move the mouse to the point where you want to end the line and release it. Sometimes you need to double click, but that depends on the program you are using

    She's shining like a star ... looks wonderful ... great build so far!
  24. cog
    You're a real watchmaker, my friend. I followed very silently inconspicuously in the shadows, although, those were hard to find with such a radiant build. You do have a nack for this very small scale ... tremendously marvelous ... Cheers mate!

    Nice preparation, Piet ... it's time for hammer and chissel especially the hammer Cheers

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.
