    Welcome aboard John! Can't wait to see how your build progresses, especially now that there are so many differing opinions. Just have fun, and don't fret the small stuff... Hmmm, maybe you have to fret the small stuff in this hobby. So, just have fun no matter what, and solicit opinions when needed. There are a lot of expert opinions here. Cheers! Brian

    Cześć Mateusz, Welcome to Model Ship World. You have done some beautiful work on your models, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more from Poland (I was in the southern half of Poland (Bukowina Tatrzańska) for a couple of weeks a few years ago and enjoyed it very much). Best regards from North Carolina. Brian

    Welcome to MSW from Roanoke Island in North Carolina, I think you can see what a great group of shipwrights are onboard to help you get started. So glad to hear you will be starting a build log to share with the membership. I believe you will find everyone here is very interested in and supportive of the work of others. I look forward to hearing from your more as you start your work.... have fun! Brian

    Interesting thread, because on my MacBook Pro running Chrome the banner wasn't visible. That is, it was not visible until I changed the zoom of the page. One click smaller and "thar she blows!".

    Nice work my good man! I agree, serving the line before seizing would have looked sweeet, but its not like the seizing alone doesn't look great. I wish I had thought of doing that, but I didn't do enough research.... Most of the time, I was just driven to see if I could finish it without breaking it in spectacular fashion. 😃 You probably already noted this, but I (for some unknown reason) used belaying pins I installed at various points for the running rigging. I thought I made some cleats and placed them on the mast and the bowsprit too....but I don't see them in this picture.... Doh. Keep up the good work Kev!

    That is great work Andrew, and resourceful!! 😃

    Yes, safely handling a boat in progress is both critical and difficult. I’ve read where one individual dropped their ship down stairs!!! Needless to say, it doesn’t get any worse than that…During my rigging of the Jolly Boat, I had a couple of near catastrophic spasms, which made me repeat the following 3 words, over and over….”slow and steady”. I can’t even remember clearly, but I think I must have affixed the boat to some stand to do the rigging. I know it wasn’t flopping around that is for sure! I don’t recall the line being too flimsy either, but I wasn’t pulling it hard…ever. Can’t wait to see what you get done!!!
  24. HardeeHarHar
    That is looking good Kev! I bet it feels very nice to see your hard work and deliberations pay off with some significant progress. I wish I could say the same, but our bathroom renovations are coming along!
  25. HardeeHarHar
    I did, and thought i sent you a reply, but maybe it didn't get sent/failed for some reason. I'll go do so (again) presently.

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.
