They will be here soon their coming over the ocean now lol. Well that's all I must be doing something right I am going to run out of rope lol,Rigging at the end of my rope lol. Well that's all I got today. Thanks everyone.

    Then she sewed the rope on, I put wire in on the sides of the sails only to make it look like in the wind hope it works lol Because it my first ship will stick with supplied sail next time will try something different, but these look good.

    If I could write a better log I would but not that good on computer, pictures don't line up with the story but the picture tell a thousand stories lol. Great logs on MSW make it easier to see how it done . this is all I have done so far, made the dead eyes for the other side too it coming along well I am happy with it, Life boat was fun, rigging is hard to do with big hands but I am loving it thanks so much all for you inspiration.

    Was looking around MSW today welcoming new members. then looked at the dates they were from 5 years ago lol stick to what you know Bob lol, any way here are a few up dates I really have to thank MSW for all the help at first I thought you cant do this but people here have so much knowledge and skill that if I run into problems I can find a way to fix it here. Never thought this would be this fun, making a ship from a set of plans, planking ,rigging, sail making. I know I will be a builder of ships the rest of my life lol. So first, this is how I did my shroud lines and dead eyes i spaced the dead eyes for easy threading then double checked even triple checked to see if it the right distance for dead eyes

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.
