    Thanks Steve, @Coyote_6 I use a silver Sharpie to mark the ratlines, I start at the brass wire and work my way down with the spacer, once the ratlines are finished most has rubed off and a quick coat of tar, aka, black paint takes care of the rest. It also hides all the ca marks lol. Works for me. Bob M.

    250 clove hitche later, I have finished the ratlines. Kurt and I cut up 90 ratlines this morning and started tieing them on., lots of fun stuff. After the shrouds are marked it easy to tie the ratlines on, just remember to tie at the top of the mark. Starting to look like the box. Now I will start running some stays , all the lines are ready to go, but tomorrow. I was going good till I finished the ratlines, then old age mentioned that I was tied lol 😆. Won't be long before I will need to start the yards, but lots of stuff to do ,gun port lids, remounting of the swivel guns lol. I am on no hurry to do that but eventually I will have to. Lol. That it for today, glad you stopped in to see me having the time of my life 🙂 Thanks everyone , all 49,000 of you. Knocklouder 😁 Kurt ⚒️

    This is the place to be, so many choies , every kit is an adventure? You won't go wrong with a Vanguard Model. River boats are fun , small amout of rigging, the Sea of Galilee boat by Scott Miller will test your planking skills, but it is a fun build, maybe a ship in a bottle. Good luck on your journey, what ever you pick MSW will help when you ask. Lol Bob M.

    Could it be a cable system that the car ferry works with. I have seen a couple of ferry they run on a cable, back and forth across the river. Nobody steers Knocklouder 😁

    Good luck on your journey with this build, I had the time of my life putting this boat together, it has some pitfalls, but turns out to be a fun model, I got the figures as well not to impressed but at 6 feet veiwing distance they look ok. I will follow along, pulling up a chair. Bob M

    The last deadeye on the port side ,I hang two forceps for weight then seize the line twice. they are lining up pretty good. 11 upper shrouds to tie up on the starboard side, then finish up the ratlines. Maybe I will get to run some stays, that will make her look like a ship lol. With 11 shrouds left to tie up, then upper ratlines tied on I will start to run some fore and aft stays, coming along quickly now, the yards will slow me down, lol, that and the snow. We got some last night, so today I have to put the blade on the tractor and change the First Mate's tires. Not much time left today game on at 7. 🐦 Sailing in the right direction 🙂 Talk tomorrow., my friends Knocklouder 😁 Kurt ⚒️

    Those are some very straight ratlines, nicely done. Bob M.
  28. Knocklouder
    Nicely done sir, Bob M.

    My Catharpins on the foremast are a bit shaky, lol. The hands are definitely shaking today, but a little ca helps, Once tared they will look fine. Kurt Builder just rolled his eyes . I am going to rig the upper shrouds on the main mast then I will do the Catharpins on the main mast. After that I will tie the Mizzen mast up, then do the Catharpins, that should give me enough time in-between each Catharpins. So jig on the main upper shrouds, ratlines to follow. Kurt doesn't seem to understand my fasanation with rat lines 😁. The upper shrouds are tied on ready to go, Kurt needs a nap , sounds good to me as well, later my friend's. I picked up this little vise to help me with the yards, awhile back I saw this here on one of the logs, I was not paying attention to who posted but I liked it so ordered one, 20 bucks and you get drill bits and a pin vise so for me good deal. I needed the bits anyway. Shrouds and ratlines, I am on cruise control, full speed ahead. 😎. Knocklouder 😁 Kurt ⚒️

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.
