    Well I like the coils, and it is similar to the video of a guy using two metal disks with holes in the middle around a pin in a vice grip with a spring shoving the disks together, and I can get some hard clear plastic as you suggested.  Good advice, and again those are great pics you have here of an awesome build.  I would love to have that in my home.  It is beautiful.  The long oars under the launch, are those oars stowed there, and then used out of the sweep ports?  

    Yeaup they were stored there to be used out of the sweep ports. 

     

    Thanks again for the generous comments!! 😁

    BTW - Your rope coils look good.  Do you have a trick for the flat coils for the cannon tackle lines coiled up on deck?  They need to be short and sweet (and tight!!).

    Thanks!! I coiled the rope sandwiched between two plastic sheets after it was soaked in dilute white glue. You can check out the details here:

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.
