    For a second there Greg, I thought you looked at my jig and made a drawing of it..😁 I must have seen yours at some point and used the design. P.S. Here is the link I couldn't post earlier.

    Many use a jig of some sort. Often it is a stiff wire between the deadeyes. I can’t post a link right now, but if you look at #66 in my Resolution log, you will see the jig I used. If the construction isn’t apparent, I will try to clarify later.

    Here are a couple of build logs. They are pretty comprehensive showing how the model goes together. Barbara, I am curious about several topics you have started with questions regarding various ships and modeling. You have received several replies but you never reply back with regard to the help you receive. Have you been able to benefit from the help you have received?

    There was /is a banner at the Malco site saying only the ownership had changed. All the employees and infrastructure remain the same. I use their blades with my Proxxon FET and have never had a problem.
  25. Gregory
    The Titebond should be fine..
  26. Gregory
    Take a look at some of the build logs for 17th century ships.
  27. Gregory
    That certainly looks good. I agree to keeping it simple when possible. I personally would not sweat the historical thing unless you find yourself in a situation where a client is going to pay $50,000, only if it is "historically accurate"..😁
  28. Gregory
    What is your technique for getting the folds? When you tried with the tissue paper, did you tape it to a plain piece of paper. I have had pretty good success doing that.

    I have plans drawn by Chapelle as well as the MS Plans drawn by Campbell. I think the problem with Chapelle and Campbell is that they are only showing two cross trees where according to Lees there would have been three after 1706. I would expect Colonials would have followed British practice at this time, so Chapelle and Campbell may have got it wrong. How did the practicum draw the trestle trees and cross trees? If there are only two cross trees, I would model it after the plans as shown. Here is how Petersson shows the topmast cross trees, which is how I would model it if I wanted to follow practice; with a cross tree in the middle and not a chock. I wouldn't follow the practicum unless it calls for three cross trees.

    What is the diameter and arbor of the Preac? I see there is a site called “smaller than life” that sells preac blades. Sorry I can’t post links right now.
  31. Gregory
    I think a set of plans would be a good 2nd choice.
  32. Gregory
    America is one of my favorite subjects. I look forward to seeing your work. Those plans are a treasure. A great resource for a scratch build.

    I found if you Google “USS Kearsarge 1861” and choose ‘images’, you will get several good pictures of the cannon. The rigging details may be a little difficult to sort out. The best image I saw was on Wikipedia.

    I would like to see those figures painted. I don't fancy myself much of a painter, but those figures make me want to try.
  35. Gregory
    I think they are ' interesting'. They add some character . I like the slight caricature nature of some of the faces. I am at in a bit of a quandary about adding figures to a build. To be realistic, the sheer numbers would be distracting from what I want to showcase. I ponder the idea of maybe a single figure along the rail to add a sense of perspective. Otherwise I like the idea of including them in build photos , but not so much in the finished model. If I may clutter up your log a bit.😁

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.
