    Nice work on the Bulwarks. I like your method of aligning the scuppers. Better than drilling them out, after planking is completed. 👍

    May feel frustrating now, but that’s where the experience comes from. You’re doing a really great job on the rigging, Bob. I would say the best I’ve seen yet. 👍

    Sold on eBay…

    Nice work on the planking, Terry. I’m going to pull up chair and follow along. John
  26. John Ruy
    I remember you saying at the meeting, that you hoped Jim’s model would help yours improve. I have to say your model is looking pretty good, to me. Glad I found your build log, I am going to pull up a chair and have look see as you finish this next creation of yours. Should be fun to watch. John

    Spanker rigging completed… Time to start the lower shrouds on the Mizzen Mast. Cheers 🍻
  30. John Ruy
    Thanks Ian for your comment. At 1/192 it’s right in there with N Scale Railroading. It’s a challenge, for sure.
  31. John Ruy
    Decided to mount the Mizzen Mast before hanging the upper yard arms. Spanker Boom Topping Lifts… Spanker Sheets… Cheers 🍻

    Mizzen Lower Mast Foot Rope… Mizzen Lower Mast finished. Time to rig the Spanker Boom and Gaff… Cheers 🍻

    Ian, I used a piece of tissue (Kleenex) thin white glue and wood stain. After it dries well I will touch it up with some light brown paint. John

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.
