B.E. I hope that soon a Little Progress can be achieved with my HMS Pegasus Swan Class. I am suffering now for for several weeks already from a painfull pinched nerve in neck, shoulder and arm area, and visiting the doctors did not bring help to date. But this gave me time to think about what sequences were to be done next with my build, at least in my mind Nils

Pictures vanished... To all who missed the the Pictures when dropping in to my HMS Pegasus Build log from part 1 to part 17 I discovered recently that most of the Pictures had disappeared, but they are now all replaced due to a backup I had fortunately made Nils

Hi Crackers, thanks for your words, and hopefully you did`nt have a data loss due to your harddrive Crash and its repair. I know from my own experience that every time my harddrives were exchanged there were losses in data somewhere when firing them up again. But nice to see that you`re online again Nils

Thank you Michael, I would have another steamship up the sleeve, but that had been started (If I remember right in 1981), then set forth 2006 and finalized in 2009. I`m not sure I I should post it, because the Build log pics would first set in when it was appr. 60% done. I had no Digit camera for documenting Pictures before that time. Nils

Build log part 52 THIS LOT ENDS THIS GORCH FOCK 2 BUILD LOG Many thanks to all who had fun in following along this build log, thanks for all the kind comments, your "likes", questions, and suggestions made. If there remain any questions, please feel free to ask, I shall be pleased to give answers. It was a pleasure and very encouraging for me to share the making of this ship to all who like this 3-mast barque, and possibly it may encourage the one or other to consider it for their own build / Project list THANK YOU all last adjustments have been made to the rigging the decks have been cleaned up and scrubbed and she find her honorable place in her own glasscase, protected from dust and set up in my Hobby office Auf Wiedersehen...

Michael, please bear in mind that many sequences I have done nearly simultanously wih Pamir, and the rigging and sail making was one of These Features, if I were to build another tallship it probably could even be bit swifter because all the time consuming Trials would not have to be repeated again Now coming to the boltropes with stainless core.... I found a good flexible Brown woven 100% polyester line, 0,5mm diam. (a Little bit like the one the masons use, but finer in structure). This has a hollow sole, and with pushed in st. steel wire of 0,4 to 0,5 mm the total boltrope exspands to 0,9mm diam. outside. One can hardly see the difference with / without wire Two pics are enclosed.. (best is to magnify the pics) 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.
