    thank you very much Karl, Nils
  4. Mirabell61
    Looks good Karl, is this the ballast you`ve been talking of ? How was it prevented by the shipmates that the stones did`nt move to one side in heavy seas ? Nils

    Karl, awesome work... beautiful casting of the tin gun barrels out of that heat resistant silicone mold, looking great ! How much weight does the complete set of guns bring to the deck ? Nils

    Thank you Bob and Antony, for your kind comments, much appreciated.... Bob, its not so far more to go now... Antony, the rigging is a bit strange with these chebec ships, but its fun to see the progress. I can now use some odd rope-lines I still had from my "Pegasus" project.... Nils also many thanks to all the "likes" for clicking the thumb up button

    Hi Denis, with ref. to your question I would like to answer , (......do you normally use jogs to create the pulley assemblies? ), please helpme along, as I`m not familiar with the term "Jogs" in this case.... Nils

    small update : this is the the tackle for hoisting (fall) and lowering the main lateen yard, it will be mounted on the aft side of the main mast. The holding lines coming from the yard will go through the two pulleys at the mast top. Active are 5 sheaves, so its quite a long running end to be coiled afterwards.... Nils

    Welcome Javier, and enjoy your stay with MSW, Your model is looking excellent NIls

  21. Mirabell61
    Super restoration Michael, decks and superstructure looking better than ever.... those outside doors and stairs down to the waterline look great.. Nils
  22. Mirabell61
    Thank you very much Piet and Michael, for your kind comments...., much appreciated.. Piet, yes, this way of rigging the shrouds was new to me... Michael, many thanks for looking in again, its been quite some time since I last heard from you Thanks also to all the "likes".. Nils
  23. Mirabell61
    Update : all 6 shrouds of the main mast are on, together with the 6 haul lines for tensioning the tackles, these are now the only lines oft the main mast standing rigging. Note all the toggle connections ( as shown in Amati plan) Nils some of the rigging members all belaying points are exactly in the foreseen place the rounded spacer lugs are necessary to give the yard sufficiant movability and clearance to the mast
  24. Mirabell61
    wonderful Jim, the stranded 4-mast barque looks very real ! Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Danny , the red underwater hull looks beautiful, the lines come out very well...... 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.
