    On-line is the only way to make a go at it because the market is so specific and margins small. Ask any of the number of folk here on MSW who are running hobby specific businesses. The overhead and supply chain costs to maintain a storefront is no longer affordable, hence why the decline of the traditional hobby shop. Starting small, like with ETSY as was suggested, or with Facebook Market is a start.

    A little update. The Mizzen is done for now and now working on the Main running gear.

    Thanks Shotlocker. I'm trying new things I have studied from many of the masters here on MSW with this project and taking baby steps. I am taking shortcuts on some areas to focus on some specific techniques. Basically, I'm using this project as a practice pad. It will look nice with done. Scott

    You can't have just one of them. I have two as well.

    I think I am liking the process of attaching the running rigging for each mast and spar before attaching the backstays and ratlines. Its so much easier to get to belaying pins. I have the mizzen almost complete.

    Its been a while and I have been neglecting my log. I have finished the standing rigging minus the shrouds. I thought I'd do those for each mast as I complete the majority of the running rigging. I find its much easier to get to the belaying pins. I almost lost my mind on the Constitution trying to thread through the ratlines to get to the pins on the fife rails. I am starting at the mizzen and attaching and rigging each yard and then running the lifts and other mechanicals for the entire mast before finishing the ratlines. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/534x712q90/923/dgGTam.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/534x712q90/924/WLMom6.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/534x712q90/924/yqvQfg.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/949x712q90/922/wHqByp.jpg My Constitution in its final stages. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/553x738q90/923/Mo7jOY.jpg

    Really nice work Jared. You are past the monotonous part of rigging shrouds, running rigging can be fun since every line is different which does present a challenge, but in a good way.

    Hi Nenad, I am back for a short visit here on MSW and am so glad to see your back on your scratch build. Your metal work is coming along fine. She looks so good with all her furniture on the deck and now her masts are going up. Regards, Scott

    She looks splendid Gary.

    I'm following along with your build because I like these old solid hull models. I have two Marine kits in the stash I hope to build.
  32. ScottRC
    Debated until the cows came home on whether to use the pre-molded shrouds or make them up, but time and budget overruled and I'm using the ones off the kit.

    Weather and a mild case of Covid kept me indoors so I sat down and did some work on this project. I completed the bowsprit and dolphin striker rig. Now starting on the lifts, braces, and then shrouds. Its not pretty, the fingers and eyes are out of practice with my threading and knot tying. But that is what this project is about.

    Interesting story, I look forward to watching the VR presentation when I get some time. Thanks for sharing this. Scott

    Welcome, I was raised in Great Falls and went to school in Havre and was the only one building sailing ships in my club. I now live in Kansas.

    Thanks George for putting out such a great build log. I am just starting rigging a clipper and your photos and details help a lot. Especially with motivation. Great job!

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.
