    Welcome back!! Good to see you are working on the Fish again. She is coming along nicely! I’m trying to get the mizzen topsail yard done so I can finally move on. It’s been a learning process so hopefully the other yards will progress faster. Rick

    That’s a beautiful rigging job Rob!! The foot ropes look great!! I see what you mean about the length of the stirrups. I’m going to try painting the foot ropes black also. Rck

    Beautiful planking job!! Rick
  18. Rick310
    I really like the idea of placing the foot ropes first, that way they are the same length . Harder to do when threading the foot ropes through the stirrups. Rick

    I really like that technique! I think I’m going to try it as my results with the varnish have been somewhat inconsistent. Rick
  20. Rick310
    I’m in awe of your beautiful work! Rick
  21. Rick310
    Amazing work!! Really enjoy following along! Rick
  22. Rick310
    Nice job. Looks really good!! Rick

    Ic, I used 28 ga copper wire for the stirrups and .012 black thread for the foot ropes. My intention is to apply Matt varnish to the foot ropes and shape them to the proper shape after I finish the rest of the work on the topsail yard.I’ll see if that works Rick

    Thanks Rob and George for your input. I am currently out of town helping my daughter plan her wedding (my input not required, just my approval). I will check everything when I get back. Rick

    Thanks for the input Rob, really appreciated! I’ll go back and re-measure the stirrups, they’re supposed to be approximately 3 1/2 ft. 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.
