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- 4,151 replies

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.

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!

I bought one a while back, was only $14 and everything was there. Its a nice kit and the older the kit, the better the molds.

Its an odd scale. 1:120, but I seem to recall questions about a variance. I was going to look into it once I started mine.

Because the decals have rotted off the model, I picked up the photo etched nameplates and they look really good. I also got the flag set they offered. Anything to dress her up a little bit more.

Had some time this last week to actually spend in my workshop. Added more standing rigging. Hope to add more soon. I am kind of in the doldrums with building at the moment.

Coming along nice with the rigging. This boat that you rode to the lighthouse looks a lot like an old 40' USGC utility.

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.
