    congrats Hans, a good looking and nicely built ship... Nils

    nice axilliary-tool Tom, I like that solution for clean sanding Frame contours, and its easy to set up...., and the edge is perpindicular to the base board. Nils

    Thanks for your "strops into the channels..." solution Jason, I`m afraid that that Version would put to much tension on the channels from above, as the channels should actualy only spread the shroud- and backstay chords outwards. A unpurposed knock on the masts during handling could rip off the channels, even in spite of the rather riged channelsupports I have an idea of how it could be done without putting additional tension on the channels, will do some Trials tomorrow and post it if I`m satisfied with it... Nils

    Jason, you`re right with the stepped shrouds, and I also felt like taking a Little risk in doing like I did to find the angles (no risk, no fun... ) I hope it won`nt turn out wrong to set the chain plates at this building stage. On the partial outcut portside its going to be more tricky because there is no "Skin" to bolt the chainlinks to, have to find an alternative solution for that... Nils Pete, thanks for your words, yes slowly it is coming together, and yet if I ever would build another one of these 18th century models there are so many little inspiring solutions tricks and ways gained from this MSW Forum, how to do things better, recognizing that it would probably be taking at least twice the time to build. (depending on the own set obligations) Nils

    congrats to your lucky find Nenad, am curious to the results with your new "poncewheels" on brass sheet, but do`nt Speed with it, leave yourself time for Trials and improvements, until you are self satisfied... Nils

    Moving on to the chain-plate mounting.... although I tried to get the individual link lenghths in size to enable the lowest mounting Point above the wales, I could not get them all alingned in a straight horizontal row, but I`ll leave as is. therefore the deadeyes are all horizontal in a row which I felt is more important. main mast arrangement fore mast arrangement the alignment angles I get with a string from the appropriate hight of a preliminary 8 mm diam. mast with an adjustable dummy top-platform in hight for main and foremast Build log part 39 to follow... Nils

    Hello Grant, thanks for sharing your method to make ordenary blocks look great, I always thought the "tumbling" was bound to metal work Nils

    0,3mm drill Karl, That is micro surgery, incredible, how do you prevent those in breaking off ( 1 per drill hole ?) It Looks fantastic ! nils
  11. Mirabell61
    Thanks Pete, the time is now not far from putting on the forecastle and the aft quarter deck permanently, but all Fitting-out that goes underneath will have to be rigged first (anchor cables, Messenger cable and appropriate guns and their rigging) Nils

    A lovely Little boat Bob, I like it very much Nils
  13. Mirabell61

    Your Diana is a superb built model Ray, I enjoy those pics every time I look into your build log. Also although Long completed already, I like to look up your HMS Pegasus, which I also find an inspiring and very well done model in all Details... Nils

    Hi Darrel, nice to hear that you have good freinds in Ol`Germany, hope you and your wife had a pleasant stay in this Country. I also still have an 80% completed Billing Boats Bluenose on the shelf, started at least 25 years ago, my wife always reminds me to get that one done before I begin something new. There are several good looking builds of those fabulous gloucester fisher schooners here on MSW, or here in Progress, that my fingers start itching to continue. I love the lines of These ships Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    The hull of your schooner is very nicely built Darrel, wish you much fun and good ongoing success in the further build sequences... Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    welcome in the Swan Class Mihai, you have had a good start and I wish you further much fun and success with your build. There are so much inspiring Versions of the Pegasus on MSW that nothing can go wrong with this lovely model you have Chosen... Nils
  24. Mirabell61

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.
