    Hi, I am not a yellow-wellie sailor (as in yachting) but from the imagery I have seen, the gaffs were in the lowered position and parallel with the boom; trysail gaffs (depends on what you are calling a trysail, as I have found there are many interpretation from small triangular storm sails to smaller replacement sails the same shape as the fore-and-aft sails) were only set-up when the sail was rigged (if the former interpretation). cheers Pat

    Also an 'unnecessary' tool for me. These types of cutters use a 'V' profile cut (even when sharp) due to the razor blade cutting edge, leaving an oblique end profile that needs squaring for a good fit. I got rid of mine a long ago and simply hand or power saw cut 'fat' of the line, then touch up with my disc sander to the line. cheers Pat

    Rob, some clippers had two spiderbands (for belaying pins) at their base; perhaps an option? cheers Pat

    The plaudits offered by other builders are well deserved Keith, let me add to the list of appreciative followers. This is a very high-quality model of an interesting subject - it has made for many hours of pleasant reading/viewing. cheers Pat

    Rob, your model of GoS is looking great, and a pleasure to follow the updates. I have just noticed though, that you have used chain for the boat gripes; I am assuming this is as per research you have conducted. As the chain will have been pretty hard on the boat planking surfaces, and planks themselves, it may have been used in combination with wooden pad pieces to keep the chains off the planking, and/or leather (or other) Scotchmen (anti-chafing mats/pieces)? I admit not looking back through the log, so I apologise if I have raised something you have already discussed? For the purposes of modelling, however, what you present serves the purposes of how and what was used. Only raised as FYI. cheers Pat

    Stunning detail and quality finish Brian. A pleasure to view your updates. cheers Pat

    Ditto, I have several of these to correct Rob; good to see you not taking the 'that'l do' path. cheers Pat

    Love those deadeyes and offer congratulations on your resolving a better way of making them. I think Greg (dvm) says it all in his post. cheers Pat

    What a delightful update to come home to Glen; I go away for a few days and then see this. That is an outstanding presentation of a great build; impressive - you have set a high standard for your next build. I have really enjoyed following this build mate. cheers Pat

  18. BANYAN
    Great start to the installation Glen; looks great! cheers Pat
  19. BANYAN
    Very nice work Keith (as usual). I am very impressed with the leather (like) covers/wraps to the splices etc - looks very realistic. cheers Pat
  20. BANYAN
    Looks like you're having an absolute horrid time Rob ;); only thing missing was a 'mai tai' - Enjoy cheers Pat
  21. BANYAN
    Great to see your update; welcome back mate. Looking terrific. cheers Pat

    Lovely work Glen; wishing you good luck in getting them into the bottle without 'drama'. cheers Pat
  23. BANYAN
    That decoration/gingerbread is looking great Glen; a great left-of-field solution. cheers Pat
  24. BANYAN
    Thanks Mark Interesting, I wonder if the opportunity will be taken to remove them? The costs would be very high though I would assume - I wonder if being submerged they have been protected from radioactive contamination, thus making their steel much more valuable. cheers Pat
  25. BANYAN
    Persistence has won out (hopefully); I admire that you stuck (no pun intended) with it. The repairs are looking good. 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.
