    Flying Fish by Rick310 - Model Shipways - 1/96

    Well, it’s been 3 months since my last post.  
    In that time I made the 5 lower yards, main and fore topsail yards, fore, main and mizzen course yards.  Actually made 6 as I broke the yard arm on the fore topsail yard trying to push one of the bands on and had to remake it.  Good news is it’s better than the first one. I also made the stunsl booms prior to making the stunsl irons.

    There were a lot of iron work on each yard.  These were made from copper tube and sheet.  Each had to be individually fitted to the yard.  All the iron work was blackened.

    Yards were painted flat black, bands pushed on,sheaves rivited in and the yards rivited to the parrels.

    Blocks are strapped with 26 ga copper wire as were the stirrups.  Foot ropes are .012 black ( dark brown) rope from Syren as are the blocks.

    Currently in the process of attaching the blocks with their rigging to the yards.

    George, you are making great progress!! Discovery looks great!  Good job on the aft deck houses!

    As an aside, I once went to a Gordon Lightfoot concert in the flats and he was singing The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald just as a freighter was coming up the Cuyahoga river from Lake Erie! The crew were gathered on deck by the rail listening to the song!

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.
