Thanks Rob. Yes I already see that. there is plenty to carefully exclude from consideration and i see cutt sark iron masting practice clearly. actually its more about steel ones though... Not everything is of my interest but principal function of each aspect of every rope functioning is fantastically described. and for that it is to be donsidered which part of it to use for the model being it with sails or without. buntlines clew etc... not everything has to be projected depends on how messy model can be. I havent decided how far to go with that as i havent decided on sails yet etc....good read indeed.

Steve, beautiful work. As I observe it closely I particularly like how you treated figurehead and stern ornamentals with little more toned down shade - exactly same shade what I need for my winnie. would you mind sharing your "recipe" for how you painted them? are they wood or resin? Thank you in advance Vlad

Im reading thru beautiful book from McKay descendant D McKay and his famous sailing ships, and im astouned how often were royal topgalant and even topsail masts struck down by heavy gale. even mainmast sprung ! flying cloud 3 times thru one capehorn ride. With sails furled and fastened i cant quite imagine powers of nature that were hunting these boats. must have been total havoc.

Last chapter yards are done i consider fpotropes rigging so i Will make IT when rigging. Now glory gets Few months of rest while i Will scout assemblings blocks, ropes...for final chapter. If not till end of summer -autumn. Ouch. Thank very much everyone for watching support likes comments. etc...ill tune in when back. Watching Robs meanwhile. Its Better i dont know what IS IT rigging clipper - otherwise i would stop Few photos from yardmaking. I intend no more going thru this hell. I Guess this Will be my last clipper build. Will downgrade with age :)) and finish with canoe :)) im not yet settled on nasting colors. as i cannot paint lower masts i can only varhish those. i play with idea to paint tops black or white to give nice constrast probably from mast collars up.... - from tops up all varnished ... doublings balck. yards black. bowsprit black booms varnished. . so maybe i will post one update more.

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.
