    thank you so much for your nice compliment Lawrence, during checking out the run of the shrouds and backstays with preliminary sewing thread, I just noticed that there should be 6 turnbuckle screws (instead of 5) on each side, so warm up the blackening acid once again.... Nils

    Thank you very much Martin, as already mentioned to Bob, there will be a walkbridge between promenade- and forecastle deck. As far as I know this could be used by passengers and crew to move around..... In some pics (Norway Heritage, for KWdG) it shows this bridge in simple gangway character, so I`m not sure if not perhaps this position was only the resting place for the ships own gangway during travel..... Nils this pic found and borrowed from the web.... width 6 mm, railing hight 8 mm telescope support for adjusting the correct hight

    Thanks for your nice words Carl, about 2/3 of the remaining ship are by far not at this degree of progress yet...... Nils

    Thank you very much Bob for your nice comment Bob, there is a little walk bridge that connects the promenade deck with the forecastle deck. I trust its better that this that would have to go on first, otherwise there is no sufficiant access for mountung it, when the shrouds are in the way Nils

    thanks Patrick, good idea with the salt spray and streaks of rust, I may take it up later on......, for crew and passengers it`s not so easy with the suitable scale, but I`ve been gathering typical "turn of the century" passengers and crew members, for sailors and officers I recently found some nice figures in scale 1:144 from North Star Models Nils

    Update cleats on forecastle deck edge, mounting of spare anchor, and fastening of five turnbuckle screws per side, for the shrouds (M1 threads, left / right) and foremast backstays Nils

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.
