Thank you B.E. I remember in mind your comment on the dolphins you made at an earlier stage, thanks again, I shall scrap those Lifting devices when I do the regular guns and carriages. This Barrel is only and still the early Demonstrator one. What is surprizing to me, is the required length of the gun moving pulleys, in scale 1/64 whereby I always thought I had lots of spsce on deck, now I have to fight for every mm in saving length, and I am using the 32mm Long Barrels (6 pounder)together with raghter short carriages. It will take some more experiencing with small and short-building blocks inclusive their fastening harnisses. Nils

Bob, thanks for your good wishes... I feel my trapped nerve Problem is getting better now day by day Nigel, thank you for your words and for all the "likes", I see you had a look into my build log Popeye, thank you, I unfortunately did`nt an explaination for "hewn look", but asume that you mean the surface structure of the oak ( shaped with ship carpenters axe ? ) Many thanks Jason, I liked your comments, and hopefully I can give a bit more drive to it now, I`m realy lacking far behind others in the Moment Nils

Today I could make a Little Progress, and started to put some profiled brass on to the bow eking rails, because I had no luck in Scratching or carving decors into it. I think I`ll do this with the main rails as well and then taper the front wooden portions a bit. One Thing I never recocnized up to now was the tricky tackle of the guns, it requires quite some space to get all the blocks in Arrangement lengthwise. A Little model was made to do some Trials. This is only for checking dimensions I still had some oak Planks 1 x 5 mm and used These for the inner bulwark. After Fixing These permanently the gunports had to be cut away.... I wish I had`nt taken oak, ist too brittle and started breaking in many places. Nils

Nigel, nice to see that you are challenging a beautiful 17 th century build, and all in scale 1/60. ! Together with your Initial introduction lines, giving the own set obligations, this is going to be a very ambitious Project but a wonderful repesentant of early shipbuilding art. I looked at your log to date up to page 5 and find it of highest interest for Close following... Nils

HMS AGAMEMNON by PMG - Caldercraft

Hi Pierre, I wish you all the best for enjoying your Special day, and for your new living year.. BTW your nicely built Agamemnon is well improving from sequence to sequence... Nils -
Thanks Popeye, yes I have seen the chiropractor already, but he is a bit afraid that it could be a prolapsed intervertebral disc, so nothing was done in that direction. But I am hoping that next weeks appointment with a good masseur shall bring relief. Nils

Thanks Danny, after there was no other help, that was my thought as well, I have 6 fixed apointments with such a masseur but no beginn terminated before first April week Nils

Hans, a lovely and good looking model you are building fine carving Details Nils -
Hi Crackers, thanks for all the "likes" when dropping into and exploring the Pegasus build log. I hope you like the scratch build from Amati plan. It was because of the lost Pictures in MSW that I replaced them with an update in the last days. Probably you overlooked that Anjas birthday greetings were from Oct. 2013, so it swam up with the replacement announcement today. Sorry to admit, I have`nt been busy with this build reasonably since then, but hope to reactivate it with more Progress soon Nils

Beautiful Michael, you are realy resembling your "actual dream cutter" in a splendid done model, I would wish to own such a boat in reality... Nils

Ist going to be a nice model... good looking lines of the hull and well placed Frame distances, also the rig Looks interesting, barque typical square sails on the first two masts only. The rather sharp bow area and the fine Stern lines must be a Little bit Clipper like You made me curious for more Progress to be shown here... 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.
