    I've been working on the Fisher 34 since the Colin Archer went into storage. The cockpit area on the Fisher has a lot of curves and has taken time to get right. It's now been brush-painted with one coat of gloss -on top of all the other coats of 'stuff'. Started yesterday on the wheelhouse aft bulkhead and sliding door arrangement and produced what I think is a 'sliding door kit' which will be stained 'teak' and added when the bulkhead is prepared and painted white.

      Hi Andreas, did not see your post until this morning. The brass tubes are guides for the sheets to the clew of the genoa sail. They were planned and installed very early  during the build process and are a bit too long but I could not see that until the cockpit combing was shaped and glued on. The tubes bend and curve all the way down to the turnpulleys in the bilge so hope there is not too much friction. Posting photo of one tube. Also photo showing sheet exiting from guide tube to pulleys on genoa track. Don't know if this system will even work properly ! 🥴 20200824_160130.thumb.jpg.11028e0e2ab969b84424e86c360d1a27.jpg20200825_114329.thumb.jpg.4e0acfbfe748442e7703d01125f37d58.jpg

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.
