    Keep you going....? Make you go nuts more like it - good luck with the folding. At least you have the right weather to be doing this cheers Pat

    Further to my last, I am also trying to contact the author "Andrew Bowcock" but have had no luck trying - I have tried Chatham Publishing but they either do not exist anymore, or changed emails. If anyone can provide contact details, or put the author in touch with me it would be greatly appreciated. cheers Pat

    Thanks John, As you can see from the extract, I am not sure whether he refers to leads for other ropes fitted to the shroud, or to lead the shroud itself? In other parts of the drawings, he usually references whether a rope passes through a lead etc, and he does not reference these other than on this drawing. I have checked Lees, Marquardt and Falconer with no luck so far. An internet search brings up all sorts of things but nothing for a fairlead on the shrouds??? cheers Pat

    Hi all, While researching a likely /representative rigging and belaying plan (Barque Rigged) for the HMCS Victoria, I came across the terminology "fairleads" in reference to some of the shrouds. The terminology/discussion from the CSS Alabama: Anatomy of a Confederate Raider by Andrew Bowcock, infers that the lower shrouds were led through fairleads (possibly to clear, or lead, the shroud clear of the roughtree rail, rather than fairleads attached to the shrouds for other rigging. Is this device/rigging technique familiar to anyone? regards Pat

    Very nice work Dan, she is looking very much a grand lady of the sea already. I like the way you steadily build up the surfaces; makes an excellent base for the final coats. cheers Pat

    Great info and discussion on rigging here Ed and et al. This is what is so great about this site; and thanks for hosting the discussion in your thread/log Ed. cheers Pat

    That looks great Greg, she sure has some great detail for this scale. Your paint scheme is also adding a 'sinister' look making her look all the more the massive battleship she was. cheers Pat
  14. BANYAN
    Some great progress there Denis; she is looking mighty fine already. WRT to those 5mm pins, they looks a bit fat in the handle; will you be reducing them? cheers Pat
  15. BANYAN
    Nice details Greg; looking really good. cheers Pat
  16. BANYAN
    Thanks Phillip, kitbag stowed and hammock lashed in the forward berthing space cheers Pat

    Just found this build Phil, sorry to crash the scene so late - hope you don't mind me tagging along. I am building HMCSS Victoria (1855) which had some common equipment etc to Warrior - see my log at: I will be very interested to see how you approach a couple of items such as the catheads which have a much sharper than usual angle of rise. You have made a great job on what you have completed on a very interesting build (and large) cheers Pat
  18. BANYAN
    I had a discussion on shrouds in my log which may be of some help to you Dave. cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Niiiice! Clean and crisp looking detail on all those parts Rusty. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    That eagle already has some nice definition Dave. Looks as if that wood is well suited to carving? cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Nice job Michael, looks like there was never any damage at all. cheers Pat
  22. BANYAN
    Belated condolences Ulises. Good to see you back at the building board and offering up an interesting technique. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    Are you adding all the bigeye binoculars etc for the look outs also? You've added some great detail for this scale but I a sure you still have some surprises for us ;). cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    That a really great finish Dave; looks really good. Glad to see you survived the aftermath of Debbie. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Nice collection of guns there Greg; they look great. I know you will be sorry to see the end of doing these huh? 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.
