    Hi Garry, sorry you`re having Trouble to enlarge the pics, do you face this with other members log pics as well ? As all pics are in JPG Formate, a single "left click" on the pic should open it to appr. screen filling Formate, it should work, at least I had no issues on this behalf from other fellow members Cheers, Nils

    Thank you very much Patrick, your kind words are well appreciated, although what I`m modeling is in my intension how I normaly do it, as long as it suits and pleases my obligational set planings for the individual project A fellow builder at MSW once wrote in a quote comment....... "While I admire others in this forum for their extremely clean and almost clinically precise builds I also like that just slightly handcrafted look your work still has"..... I like this comment and think this is reflecting quite well what I had in mind when building these models, rather than going for the attribute of "precision and order". With the Pegasus build it can for example be noted in many details, that there are quite a lot of deviations from the Amati plan, let alone the kit, that may perhaps cause some fellow builders to think that he`s not taking it so historicaly authentical, I just do it my way as long as I´m satisfied with the results and by receiving all these appreciating kind comments and "likes" Nils

    Thank you very much Bob, I`ve been thinking of it many times, if not easier doing ratlines before the yards and sails come on,........and yes, I feel I´m making it myself difficult, but the reason was that I had anxiety to shrink in the access space for using long tweezers verticaly for tieing lines to the belaying points. Now looking backwards, I trust it could have been done as you suggest, Shall do it that way, if I ever hapen to build / Rig a 18th century square rigger again. Love the rigging of your "Essex" to date, which I just had a look at Nils

    lovely top section masting Bob, all looks clean and tidy done Nils

    Update Build log part 76 the progress is a bit slower in the moment (lots of hitches to be made), but mizzen ratlines and port side lower main mast ratlines are done Nils some aft views......... cow-hitches at the ratline ends and clove-hitches in between.... lower main mast, port side ratlines attached, including futtock ratlines shroud cleats are integrated every 5th ratline elevation goes over all 8 shrouds, in between only over 7 shrouds

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.
