    Thanks for hitting the like button...today's update, made and mounted the chain plates and also the pin rails and then started laying out the deck furniture This kit comes with a lot of hardware the problem is most of it is oversize (thus Jumbo the Clipper) the supplied screweyes are no exception....so I decided to see what I could do to make use of them. I straightened them out and recurved them with a pair of small round nose. I think they will be usable Well that's it for now, thanks again for looking in

    After my conversation with Popeye this morning I decided to scrap the tops and go with the cross/trestle trees as he suggested... so I made some cheeks and trestle and cross trees and inset them both and glued um up then made some bolsters, just quartered dowels and glued them up and that was it...so both masts now have the appropriate trees, thanks for the likes and comments...and thanks Denis for the solid advice, much appreciated

    Thanks much, I’m gonna give em a try, I want to see if I can make um work, a challenge, if you would. I do greatly appreciate your offer though. Im only planning on two step masts, main and fore. Are you going to take the fore up to three?

    Of that I was unaware, but it makes sense...at this point I'm still replicating the kit parts that are unusable. My plan is to use the American schooner plan layed out in Rigging Period Fore and Aft Craft . Why don't you like the metal blocks?
  29. jct
    All this may be true...but just think how springtime fresh you would be!!

    I'm planning on installing one of these Now that we've solved that particulier crisis on with the build...still working on little odds and ends. I'm still planning to use as much of the kit stuff as possible and that includes the cast metal rigging blocks. I have no idea what these are made of and nothing I have in my chemical arsenal would blacken them, so I resorted to paint...mixed a very dark brown acrylic and painted them. Once dried they were shot with a couple coats of matt clear. Then I turned to the mast tops, new ones were made from the paper patterns, I just glued up some planking stock with cross braces underneath then cut and drilled the appropriate holes in them test fit of the fore mast top and that's all for today...thanks to all who've taken the time to hit the like button or comment

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.
