    That is some very great advice, Kieth , I am taking some major steps back. The Frist Mate is in agreement, so I will dig into the research of the wasa, mull over my opinions and head out on what every adventure awaits. I usually start another log 10 minutes after the last one , this time I am taking a longer break. This will be a great model to do, can't wait to start, lol. Nothing is glued, so it doesn't count as a start. Bob M. Later my friend's.

    I am going to change my signature to USRC HARRIET LANE, on hold. I tryed to day but it is not happing . Not to be defeated but just a change in course. I will make the change when I start the Wasa log what's left on the Harriet Lane is the boom and gaff perrales , rudder, and flag. A couple of chains on the bow, rig the boom and gaff and the rudder and flag and she be finished. For many reasons she in the case, I will finish it for sure. I just want to get better, and starting a new log makes me feel better also. Thank you so much again Steve, it is just so much fun. I am so glad I could build it. So she in the case and safe for now. so give me 20 miniutes to start a new logs , and if MSW /NRG is ok with it I'll tell you about my adventures with Wasa Thanks for following along with my adventures, this is a great place to be, thanks everyone 😀. Bob M. Knocklouder 😁

    Happy New Year, your ship is looking fantastic, Bob M.

    Just when you think you got it mastered, sickness and life have taken it toll. The running rigging is completed, just have to add a few rope coils. Captain Steve is glad we are at least underway. He got wind of two bootleggers up river and wants to go catch them. My favorite helper got this camera for Christmas, this is the first time she plays with it, want to take a picture of the Harriet Lane. It prints out a little black and white picture, pretty cool. With the rigging finished, I will finish all the bowsprit lines, bobstays, anchors next. oh and the figurehead. After that I will ⁰ spin her about and Boom, done lol. Hopefully I will get better soon, omissions have been made because of my shakey left hand. Lol. It doesn't shake as much at 1:75 scale I find, so as soon as this little Cutter is done its 1:75 scale for at least 10 years. More on that when I open a new logs Take care my friends, build on, there is just so much information here on MSW, freindly people willing to help great site glad to be part of . You can follow along in the logs and biuld anything you desire. Have to rest a bit Sea all soon. Knocklouder 😁 Kenny ⚒️

    @Alexsey Kornev thank you very much.. I am slightly embarrassed by your comments, I am very glad you find answers in my build. I will be following along with yours. I open my Pegasus and thought, o boy you have done it now. Lol If it was not for MSW and the logs, I would have been lost. @Blue Ensign and @Moonbug logs is were I copied everything you see. To this day I go see thier logs just to look at the rigging. Those two logs will go into history as the best. I just tryed to do what they did ,In some form or another 🤔 lol. I had a great time with this build, thier logs help me, mine helped you, and yours will help someone you'll see. Thanks again. Bob M PS. some were it was supposed to say This is what MSW is all about.
  28. Knocklouder
    Good luck on your adventure, following along . I remember my first Vanguard Model, the First Mate had to come down to the ship yard to get me lol head on the build table sleeping 😴. I think you will be fine , it is your first so steady as she goes.

    Keith you Nailed it my friend, I was going to going to put a like on @clearway last post , but being a Neanderthal I like shinny things, to me it looks like braided cable in the sun 🌞. Don't know if they had braided back in Billy's day or not. But yes that looks good and shinny Knocklouder 😁
  31. Knocklouder
    Looks fantastic, very nice. Bob M
  32. Knocklouder
    I did manage to get a few stays on today, then the sickness come back and yhe left hand started to shake just a bit to much 🙃 😅. Break time. @vvvjames thank for your well wish, @tmj you know how modelers tend to great exaggerated the size of thier ship lol my next build will be a Wasa and it is only 38 inch lol. Still bigger then the Harriet Lane. A few stays then the boom and gaff I am stopping for the day shaking bit lol. Maybe I will go un box the Wasa, start a new log for it, we will see Tomorrow I will run the running rigging , there is not much really, 12 blocks and 10 lines thread @.25 mm. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow. Thanks my friends, be done by the end of the week lol. Knocklouder 😁

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.
