Soldering Success.... Finally!
John Ruy replied to GGibson's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Congratulations 👏 Soldering requires lots of practice as well as technique and the right equipment. Can’t wait to see your success displayed on your bluenose. I’m sure we all struggle to get it right and continue relearning as we go. I know I do… 😆 John -
Thanks again Greg, I did the same, looks like 6 total all on the Bow Sprit rigging. I also looked up Galvanizing, invented in the late 1800s, so I’m pretty sure the turnbuckles would be galvanized to deter rusting. I’ll dab a bit of aluminum paint on the copper eyelets and I’ll be all set. I probably need to paint all of the belaying pins as well. 😆

Turnbuckles… I used 1/16” OD Aluminum tubing and copper wire to build dummy turnbuckles. There is no mention of turnbuckles in the instructions. I wanted to try to add this detail and tried to get them small enough to be of proper scale. 😆 Used needle file to cut both sides of tubing. Used Copper wire to fit through the tubing. Turnbuckle body is held in place with a touch of CA glue. Bobstays placed Cheers 🍻

Jumbo Jib Stay… For all stays I am using the kit supplied .021” cotton/ploy line (WP1210) For the lashing I am using .18 monofilament line purchased from HiSModel.com. Lashed up the Stay (including downhaul block to the Jumbo Jib Stay Bail previously placed. Completed rigging the Jumbo Job Stay Bridle to attach the Stay to the Fore Mast. Jumbo Jib Stay completed. Next up is the Bow Sprit rigging, so I can continue placement of the Forward Stays. Cheers 🍻

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.
