    Hi, Because of the ship model building, i am actually interested about everything. The history, the connections and the way of thinking. About why this was done. Helli

    Hello Robert, As the previous speaker said, I´m sure you will make it. It`s very easy with filling and sanding. The planking looks very good and with patience the result will convince you. Helli

    Hello Robert, I like the planking very much. The wooden nails are great. It`s a shame that they disappear under the second planking. Keep it up. I`m already looking forward to the next step. Helli

    Hello, Now i have finished the main yard. First thing i did the yard. Afterwards i mounted the octagon and the iron fittings. I made these from shrink tubing. I made the quarter boom iron out of brass. Now i´m rigging the main yard. I will now be busy with rigging for some time. I will report again afterwards. Helli

    Hello, I´m already looking forward to the progress. Helli

    Hello, OK! Thank you very much for the photo. Then i really have to get over the cannon. That was what i couldn´t imagine. Helli

    Hello, In the pictures you can see what i mean. I come with the rope through the hole under the stairs and then go over the cannons to the attachment point. Have i understood that correctly? Helli

    Hello, How to drill a hole wasn´t my question. I wanted to know how to get from the hole to the attachment point with the rope. Helli

    Hello, I have a question for the HMS Victory builders. In the book "The Anatomy of Nelson´s Ship" on page 95 it is described how the sheet of the main yard run. Here is an excrept from the book. The standing part of the sheet is made fast to another eyebolt below the block. Forward of the block and above it there is an oblique lead lined hole through the quarter deck bulwark; the leading part of the sheet reeves through this hole and belays to a large staghorn on the quarter deck bulwark. Of course, i didn´t install this pipe. Now i am looking for an alternative method. And now my question. How did you solve it? Here are two more pictures so you know what i mean Thank you Helli

    Hello Robert, Many thanks. You don´t have to be afraid of rigging, you grow with the tasks. I am sure you can do it. This is only my first ship. Hope i do better with the next one. Helli

    Hello, Now I´m a giant step further. I´m finish with the dinghies. After that i continued with the braces. Here I have hung up a dinghy for testing purposes. Here i am at the buntlines and leachlines. Now the rigging on the fore mast is ready. Next i will start with the main mast. Helli

    Hello, It´s looking great.👍👍👍 Helli

    Hello, Roberts Orca Thank you very much for the compliment. I made the rigging truck on the lathe. Now it goes on with the fore topgallant yard. Helli

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.
