Michael, thank you so much, your Kind comment is gladly appreciated.. The rigging is the first thing to attract ones eye later on, so I`d better put some concentration on it. Also it takes longer than I thought. Trust I would`nt have the Patience to do a rigging for a heavy frigate like "Agamemnon" or "Victory". When all is complete at least I can say that I`ve once tried an 18th century rigging. I admire all those members, for example with their 1:48 scale square riggers where even most the Standing rigging ropes are precisely served...... Nils

That is a beautiful looking model Lee, and as you already mentioned a unique, well done scratch vessel, I like very much Nils -

Nils stropping size 3, 4, 5 mm single sheave blocks foremast top- and lower sail stirrups on, no footropes yet footropes on and some blocks dry fitting the studding sail booms adding the "Flemish Horses" (end-footropes) clue blocks to the sail lower corners, and combi-blocks for lifts and sheet to the yard ends stand test on the footropes truss tackles and sling still to be attached at yard center, then all ready for attaching the sail to the yard and preinstalling the individual operation lines

Thank you very much Martin and Bob, your appreciations are well accepted... Martin, the rubberband is simple, but it does a good Job to get the Yard away of the working area when knotting ratlines . Bob, its going on quite well now, I just had to pull out my scetch for the mainmast lower Yard, and had the number of blocks and sizes for the foremast lower Yard. Am working at it this afternoon, will probably have a pic or two of the making sequence tomorrow Nils

Thanks for showing / sharing Carlos, it Looks like These pics are fantastic rendered 3D drawings. Where did you see These, is it available on the web ? The Motala Express of 1895 is even older than the bohuslän, and These old ladies realy have Soul, they let ones heart beat higher. Should you push out an appropriate modeling Project, I wish you all the best of success.... Nils

Little update moved on to the foremast, did the lower ratlines, am fitting out the yards with stirrups and footropes Nils looks like someone is watching TV (blue shine) in the great cabin the blue rubberband "braces" the yard preliminary into position foremast with lower ratlines on port and stb. fore mainyard with stirrups spaced fore top- and mainsail ready for next actions after applying a drop of CA to the individual stirrup positions. The clips act as a weight to keep stroppings straight until the CA cures

Albert, I just caught up with your Progress again, its masterly performed work, very impressive. That joining technique and the prefabrication for the deckbeam parts is smart and of such profession that I presume this accuracy is related to your Profession ? (unknown) Nils

I love your rigging Bob, it Looks so clean and accurate, the sprit- and jib Yards are great, also the belaying in the bow area Nils

Hartmut, thats a wonderful model, it is very well done I`m curious what the other sails will look like, must be a beautiful sight, judging by that mounted aft sail, and your wife did a good Job on the sewing, I also like the carvings and the leaf Gold plated decors 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.
