Hello Andrew, I can only agree with your summary.The plans are really excellent, but also the instructions are helpful. My version with completely struck sails and the hull without openings is in many ways of course different to build. But I think both versions show a very nice ship model. I am always happy about it.

Ingenious trick! Too bad I didn't know that yet with my EMMA. I always enjoy seeing your build reports on this beautiful model. Happy Holidays and a healthy New Year! Michael

Hello, the order of work is good. Since I have completely attached the sails, there were too few voucher points for the running rigging. I then doubled the cleats on the mast. Whether this corresponds with the original I do not know. Your model is good to look at. Michael

I actually found the chain unproblematic. The attachment with the shackles I made works well. I put heat shrink tubing over the lower part. That looks very realistic as protection.

Hi Andrew, The suggestion of turangi is good. You really have to put all the parts together provisionally, especially with the bowsprit in place. The description and drawing actually presents this as fairly simple, but it is not. I made the critical parts for this again and was able to find the right fit more easily. Unfortunately, I do not have better pictures for this. Have a nice Sunday and stay healthy ! Michael

I made my shackles from black iron wire, diameter 0.6mm. I fixed two pins at the distance of the stretched length of the shackle on a stable base. The wire is tightly wrapped around both pins with a loop. The protruding ends are cut off and the shackle is shaped with round nose pliers and flat nose pliers. A shortened rivet or nail is used as the shackle pin, which is glued in place. Michael (translated with deepl)

The Mystic Seaport Museum website has a video on ECB. There you can clearly see this gap in some views. When searching the web for the term "Emma C. Berry Restoration", a picture of the ECB on the slipway can be seen. On the drawings of Model Shipyard this detail is unfortunately not very clear. When I thought about attaching the bowsprit with the Gammon Iron, I realized there must be a gap there. Lobster Boat in Mystic, CT - Emma C.

Hello Andrew, There is a gap of about 1mm between the bowsprit and the cutwater. The bowsprit does not rest on the cutwater. The underside of the retaining bracket for the bowsprit is still in between. Your Emma C. Berry looks good. Michael

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.
