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

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?

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 p

Hello all, thanks for taking the time to hit the like button...got the rail cap made, mounted and painted out, the paper pattern was layed out on some thicker basswood stock, took 9 pieces scarfed together to make the whole cap each piece was cut to fit against both its neighbors to get the joints nice and tight and then painted out... considering repainted the cap in the dark green...think it may tie the main hul and the deck furniture together a little better?

Thanks to all for the likes and comments...I finished the initial companionway and promptly scrapped it when I set it on the deck, it just looked stupid So I set about making a new flush type hatch...stripped off the house and doors to use the original coaming and made hatch side to fit within it then made the hatch cover...it has a slight curve sanded into it, and glued it to the sides and separated the pieces for paint and mounted it on the foredeck made a template for the railings and transferred them to some strip stock, still a bit under the weath

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.
