  23. ECK
    Futtock shrouds and upper shrouds done. Also placed 3mm block in upper shrouds
  24. ECK
    Looks really good and agree the batten will add the perfect last touch to it.
  25. ECK
    A few days of rhythmic knotting and the lower ratlines are done.
  26. ECK
    I found better 2 mm single and double 2 sheeve block online. They fit better and use 1 mm thread Found them at https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/boxwood-rigging-blocks.php , https://drydockmodelsandparts.com/collections/pearwood-blocks and https://www.agesofsail.com/
  27. ECK
    Lower shrouds now done Next are the catharpins Next few days will be spent doing ratlines
  28. ECK
    I prefer to attach the yards to the masts first as there is more room to maneuver. Next job will be the shrouds
  29. ECK
    You can also paint the below the waterline white as many of the other Vanguard models, pre-copper so to speak.
  30. ECK
    I painted the hull copper before plating. The plates stuck pretty well with the cyano after.
  31. ECK
    Finished attaching the various blocks to the yards. Here they re temporarily pinnegn to the masts. Next is rigging the spritsail then i will mount the yards to the masts properly before starting on the shrouds.
  32. ECK
    After painting, next putting all on the blocks
  33. ECK
    Finished main yards and bowsprit Now all ready for the paintshop
  34. ECK
    Pent my time today making the t'gallant and topmast yards. I prefer using tape over the cardboard as all will be painted black and stick together better. Also added pin to help attaching later to the mast.
  35. ECK
    Well done ! It is a good way to clear the mind

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.
