    OMG, I am so glad my Sphinx build has proceeded at such a slow pace I can get a light kit (save me one, I’ll buy it as soon as it goes available!!)

    Welcome aboard, you found the right spot for inspiration and education!!!
  20. HardeeHarHar
    What an awesome surprise!!!!!!
  21. HardeeHarHar
    Francois, May I ask what is going on with the lights in the last picture - It seems your lights have covers over them? Just curious. Also, I have probably asked you this several times already, but I will ask again: (ahem) did you glue your masts and bowsprits in place prior to rigging? Thanks for any information or thoughts you (Or anyone else) might have on this subject matter, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! BT

    Beautiful work Francois!
  23. HardeeHarHar
    Thanks, I can't claim the idea as my own, however, I did improvise on the approach!
  24. HardeeHarHar
    I have to add my praise for your incredibly well-done planking job, and for your decision not to paint over it!!!! I am glad you are creating another fine example for the Sphinx builders here (like me =).

    Managed a quick trip in to the museum, which is free to the public. Lots of eye candy!!!!

    I’ll also request one full set for my Sphinx if you would be so kind Chris!
  28. HardeeHarHar
    I’ll jump into the fray. All the commentary about fit, etc are all good. However, the images people are critiquing are huge compared to the size of the figures. With my eyes, I can hardly see the figure, let alone a big hand or Ill-fitted coat. That’s not to say the comments aren’t valid, but holy cow I am starting to understand why Chris is saying he is going to punt.

    Excellent observation. The figures are awesome, but the telescope would not be sitting like that (at least not for long).

    Wich' being one who's building a Granado - I'd encourage add'n a bomb vessel to the Vanguard Fleet 😃. When it comes to armament, maybe bigger is better 😉
  32. HardeeHarHar
    Hey Francois, Thanks for your kind words about my color scheme. I’m trying my best! What I meant was i will be flying to Madrid, then driving to Salamanca for a scientific meeting. After the meeting is over, I will drive to Porto for a few days, then to Coimbra, and then to Lisbon for a while, before flying back to the US from Lisbon. My niece lives in Lisbon, so it will be very good to see her again (last time I saw her was when I visited her in 2016 when she was living in Moscow). Looking forward to a few weeks of business and pleasure near you!!!

    Well, it has been a long time since I have updated my build log. That doesn't mean I haven't been working on the Granado, but it does mean I am slow as molasses (particularly with things I have never done before). I have been working a lot too. However, enough of the excuses, and a wee bit of an update on where it all stands at the moment. Here are two photos of my progress with the preparation of the masts, yards, bowsprit, gaffs, etc for the rigging of Granado: I still have things to touch up, and the mizzen mast needs some Danish Oil wiped on it still....but it is progress. We are heading inland for a short time, and I will work on the Sphinx while there and send some pics of that soon. Then back out to the Island before I eventually head to Spain and Portugal for a little international science and adventuring. Hope all is well with everyone, and thanks for stopping by!!!!

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.
