    Thanks Rich, I don't have a copy but will definitely look for a copy. I hope that all others interested in finding a copy don't drive the price up I will be very interested to learn how close your collaborated plans/sketches are to his original plans. cheers Pat

    Another input, sorry for the late notice. I am building a Barque rigged steam-screw launched in 1855 and I have a copy of her Rigging Warrant and Contracts/Specifications. As with Terry's advice, her standing rigging was mostly steel wire rope (with the exception of the very topmost stays etc. The remainder was mostly riga hemp with a fair bit of chain used for the sheets etc. Hope this helps.

    Nice made parts Eberhard. People may be able to buy them sure, but I only resort to that if the part required is beyond my skill level or capacity to make them. A hand-made part is still preferable in my mind. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice progress Dave, coming on well. cheers Pat

    Try Chuck's "Syren" online site (Rigging Blocks for ship models - scale boxwood blocks- swiss pear-2mm scale rigging blocks|3/32" scale rigging blocks and pulleys) as he had a range of internally iron bound blocks available. They are not shown on the page above, but I bought quite a few from him a few years back. He may be able to help you if you contact him (he is a MSW admin if you were not aware of it) cheers Pat

    That's great news mate. Hope all continues to go well. cheers Pat

    Looks great Rob. Kidney stones are indeed no fun! I've been there and know what you are experiencing, you did well to work through them. Can't they break them up with ultrasonic treatment to ease things a bit? cheers Pat
  31. BANYAN
    Great to hear you enjoyed your vacation Rob, and see you back in the shipyard. cheers Pat
  32. BANYAN
    That is some extremely well made metalwork Ilhan, your 'smithing' is top notch. cheers Pat
  33. BANYAN
    Enjoy the holiday John. You've done a great job with the restoration. So many people will now see her (if not yet complete) in a whole new light but not understand/know the hours of effort put into her. cheers Pat

    Those garboard planks went in well Dave, have any problems with them? The 3D armament looks good. I gather you have painted them, what colour/brand did you use? Some great progress mate. I ventured into my shed for the first time in months yesterday. Hoping to make a restart (yet again) this week. cheers Pat

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.
