    Well, another self inflicted wound as I broke the fore topmast attempting to push the futtock band on. Spent a day remaking it. I thought about trying to repair it but feared it would break again at a worse time and it was safer to bite the bullet now. Fortunately I was able to rig the tackles for the main and fore TG and TS chain sheets inside the main and fore fife rails. Hope I’ll be able to untangle the lines when I attach them to the chain sheets I also turned the TG bullseyes for the TG shrouds from boxwood.086 dia. and the holes #71 drill bit. The futtock shrouds are 26 ga. Brass wire for strength. Since then I’ve been finishing outfitting the TS yards, attached the stunsl booms which were shortened to half the length of the yard. The blocks at the end of the booms are 2mm blocks from Syren. Beautiful but small!! Lost several blocks trying to strop them with thread, never to be found again. It was nice to finally attach the cloverleaf blocks and run the sheet chains through them. Also attached the halyard chain tackles. Next up, place yard on topmast, add futtock band and TG cross trees. Rick

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.
