    Hello Guy, I`m not sure if you mean the foot device for the sewing machine, this is a regular accessory for doing the last stitch line, (not the bolt rope sewing on...), or if you mean my drawn Hand scetch, first pic in post 33, which is representing my "learning by doing" sequence overview, after several Trials..... The enclosed pics are showing the Trials on the spanker sail of my 1:64 scale HMS Pegasus, done in the described way Nils

    Beautiful build Bob, I`m looking Forward and am very interested in your ongoing masting and rigging work, ver nice clean work... Nils

    Stuart, good Job on your HMS Warrior, fine and clean built, Looks great Nils

    Very nice looking Nigel, the Color Play of the cerry stained parts and the light Color Wood, although it will be planked over later on, always reminds me of the structural sandstone Color Play of structural gothic cathedral- or monastery Buildings Lovely work... Nils

    Many thanks Ian, Bob, Juergen, and Popeye, for the sewing I`ll do a few more Trials, many ideas come when doing it and I`m not absolutely pleased with the momentary results so far. The sails will be exposed to the first sight of a Viewer later and I would lke them to satisfy my own Obligation. In the Moment I need to concentrate on the heating of our house because the gas fired heater has just given up its prior much reliable lifetime, is 21 years old, and I find no more special spareparts, wether on the european market nor on the web, so I may be facing a complete new unit for installation . I`m lucky we have no frost yet Nils

    congrats Mike, a beautiful build indeed... Nils

    Very nice work Ian, your "Bounty" Looks great. Together with the rigged sails she is going to be a beauty Nils

    hello Bob and Keith, its always a bit tricky to get the sail stitching done repeatable and in a hopefully neat condition. Unfortunately I do`nt have the patience to do this in hand-stitching mode, like for example member Maurino does his sails. (wish I could...) I think the technique I use for machine-sewing on the bolt-rope works quite well, at least I used this for all "Gorch Fock" and for all "Pamir" sails. Due to the foreseen rigging bowlines for the "HMS Pegasus" sails I probably will not need to reinforce the bottom sail bolt-ropes of the square sails with steel wire to simulate a wind filled sail Nils

    Have just received the ordered 1 mm diam line I`m going to use for the bolt ropes and am starting with trial sail sewing on my wife`s sewing machine. to begin with I trust the spanker sail is the relatively easy one Nils

    resubmit Part 2
  13. Mirabell61
    Hello Fellow modelbuilders, for those who have wondered where the Pictures for machined sail making of this thread had vanished to...., here a resubmit of the part 1 + 2 pics. Somehow they went lost several months ago, and I trust they may be of interest to the one or other who is confrontated with self sail-sewing...... Nils Part 1

    Kees, with your skill and your experience I`m sure you will build a model your grandfather would be proud of. Will be looking out for the keellaying soon.... Nils

    Wonderful ! Nils

    Great looking Details Danny, I also lke those halfring shaped wooden line-guides for the spritboom , the Amati plan is missing these in the scale 1:64 though, I would like to adopt These... Nils

  19. Mirabell61

    shadowplay, nice idea Omega, one could nearly ceate a game, cast a shadow only for riddle... what ship is it? Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Peter, your Suggestion to look out for that book....., I found a second Hand one from a dutch antiquariate (already ordered) at a good reasonable Price, am curious to hold it in Hands and to study it in a couple of days. Many thanks for your tip Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Very nice model Mhaas2, also wonderful metal work and seck details Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    Hello Kevin, that "Victory" Looks fantastic, must be even better once the rigging is under way, shall stay tuned for more.... Well done ! Nils

    Hi Bob, I just had a look at your "Spray" again, such a fine Little model ! I have one for you to see as well, recently I visited my son`s place, he (now 38 years old) had saved up a Little 17 cm long Pond boat, that could realy sail, I built for him for his birthday when he was 3 years of Age and I was realy honoured when I saw it now in a glass Vitrine. It used to have a little halfcircle shaped lead Ballast clamped to the keel, It`s nothing Special and would probably not deserve the specification of being a scale model or so, but it has found a nice place for rememberance in his home, which I was happy to see again. 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.
