Hello from Northern California Foothills
travis replied to bobandlucy's topic in New member Introductions
Nice to see there are a few of us here in the same area. I'm here in south placer area (rocklin/loomis). Just started here with Covid two and my first build starting with the Artesenia Latina - Virginia which I thought was a pretty good model for a beginner (but not too beginner). Haven't select a new one to start next yet. Would love to find if there is a local shop anyone has found to actually look at some of the kits. Found the Virginia at Fast Track Hobbies in Rocklin but they are very limited stock. -

Thanks for the feedback. The keel channel is in now. The breaks between the keel channel sections will allow for lines that tie the side braces to each other for lateral support. I think this will equate to more of a British style slipway?? Working on a sled now for the side bracing.

Was thinking about using belay pins /pin rails but scale would be small and I'm having trouble consistently turning that small. I think I'll go back to lash on the rail. Anyone have pics of the proper way to lash running rigging to rails?

Final sail is ready. Now to finish the deck furnishings (finally decided to make my own blocks for the carronade and main boom horse/traveler). Then it's time to set the deadeyes and shrouds.

Top sail on. Added split rings around edges for the down haul to collapse the top sail which the model excluded. In to the forsails. Thus model has a single staysail. I'm thinking I'll do a proper jib on the forestay and then a staysail behind it. Current day schooners seem to always have a boom on the staysail but I would have to do a bit more mode for that so I'll probably just eliminate the boom on the added stay sail and lash the line from the tack clew to a rail.

Decide to go with cleats on the mast instead of the eyelets on the deck. Also got a distance line on the mast hoops. Should make the hole setup look better.

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.
