I wish I had seen that traveller ring before I tried making one Chuck, far superior than the one I made. I wish I has your forethought to think ahead, but alas my bowsprit had already been assembled and I would have caused more issues trying to fit it. I will order a couple though, they are great looking travellers (and hooks). I did utilise your plastic ones in areas on low stress, and they worked a treat. cheers Pat

JP, I purchased the MM feather boards for use with my Jim Byrnes say. The bars were not the right fit for the mitre slots so I simply replaced the bars (can't think of the correct term at the moment) from some spares I had. You could easily make them from hardwood, add a little wax for slide, install a bolt from underneath in a countersunk hole(s), at the appropriate point(s) so that it clears the top of the featherboard, and then add a washer and wing nut (the botlt etc from the MM featherboard can be utilised for this) - Voila As the feather boards have a slot pre-cut, this makes them easy to adapt to other mitre slot bars. If, like me you have a spare, unused or another bar from something you can sacrifice, the job is already done and you will have something that precisely fits your mitre slots.. cheers Pat

The left/right thingy, and all your other work, is very well done Kishmul, this will be a very nice model when converted from the virtual to metal and wood. cheers Pat -

You may still need a spreader bar or two near the base of the shrouds though Denis. cheers Pat

Stunning Denis; those standoff shots in particular make the model looks so life-like (colour and atmosphere). Nice work mate, that detail really pops; especially like the little things like the brass handrails etc. cheers Pat

Nice work again on those 25s Greg; that ship sure had some close range fire power. 28 of this miniscule things; not just cross-eyed but a bit of a headache also I'd guess? 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.
