    Good job on your first planking! And that 24'ers look massive! I like!

    Very good start on the second layer of planking! 🙂
  24. Theodosius
    This looks like a good start! 🙂
  25. Theodosius
    I am amazed about your rigging! Incredibble for this size!
  26. Theodosius
    Milestone reached: all the spars are ready from a wood working point of view. That means, the 'building' is finished, but the complete rigging is to do next. Some inbetweens: Some spars taperd and the 8-sided, äh, 'things' are worked out: Two points about the next pictures. First, I ran out of PE-cleats(?). A short email dialog with Chris brought clarity to my fault: he very politly pointed out, that the use of pe-parts at this point was overhoult, and I should use the plenty of wooden parts. Damn! The wooden parts looks much better than the pe parts, and I could not figure this out by myself. Only excuse I have is, that in the plan sheets I only found references to the pe and not the wooden parts. Well, to much use of blinkers on my side :-). Second point: I lost one of the holsters for the additional smal spars on top of the main spars. Sorry for my lack of propper nautical terms. I made a new one out of the black paper and stiffen it with ca-glue. It is more bulky than the orginial pe-part, but if you don't know, only on the second view, so I hope I'm ok there. All spars ready for rigging in front of the boat: To give me an idea of how it might look in the end, I put all together, but only with the pins and no glue, so all is still wonky:
  27. Theodosius
    Phantastic! 🙂
  28. Theodosius
    Thanks for the detailed unboxing and sharing your building experience! Looks good so far, IMO 🙂
  29. Theodosius
    Missed tha one. Good job! Will follow along! 🙂
  30. Theodosius
    This is so impressive!
  31. Theodosius
    Glad you found out what went wrong! I have such things too, and did'nt fix them, because no one will ever see it. But, I allways want to know what I did wrong, so that in the future I know how to not make the mess again :-). A pro po again: your model is beautiful just the way it is! 🙂
  32. Theodosius
    Very clever, your use of the pegs🙂
  33. Theodosius
    Your rigging as good as your painting! Lovely model!
  34. Theodosius
    Planking with the caulking looks fabulous! 🙂
  35. Theodosius
    I should look more left and rigt, to find such gems like this one! 🙂

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.
