Progress update - mast and tops are finished and ready to be mounted into the hull. Just finishing off the hull, water buckets, rings and dead eyes being added first.
-
Fore, main and mizzen masts are done now I’m rigging as much as I can before heading back to the hull to finish some small bits it will then be ready for the masts.
-
Making headway with the masts just the fore mast and bow sprit to go. People have different ways to do the masts. I prefer to build as much as possible before putting them in place on the ship. The plans hint at putting the masts in first the rigging and then the cross trees, not my preferred way to do it, we’ll see what’s best in the end.
-
Instructions are not as good and lots of things are left to the modeler. Some annoying things like the rigging thread not having any sizes on the spools but otherwise not too shabby a kit. Another thing is this kit is of course considerably cheaper than the Caldercraft one. Definitely need some experience with building model boats to get this done.
-
Have done one side with the netting and it’s a real pain in the **** to get right, probably the worse job yet.

Hi Don, The plans are printed on both sides of a sheet so you get four sheets with eight plans if that makes sense. You also get the instruction book and I downloaded the full instructions in English too, although be aware they refer to the kit with all brass moldings and don’t show the new etched ply version which is the one I’m building.

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.
