    After being a member for about 15 months now, I still have no clue how to use the right page or who to ask. When I join I see on the home page a banner that says " don't post stand alone questions they will be deleted,so didn't ask any for fear of being booted lol . As for intimidating, after looking at the fantastic build logs, wanted to hide my model under a rock lol, but it for me to enjoy lol , Neanderthals like me just have learn as I go. . Thanks for putting up with me.

    Started untangle the lines ,what a time but I think I got it. It will do. Added the flags to it looks ok. This is the end results of me jumping into modeling. I LOVE IT. sorry for shouting but it's my first lol. Had so much fun doing this I will be doing more got two on order. Many thanks for all allowing me to copy their ideals, My skills need so much improvement I know but will come their is just to much to learn all in one build I know . I am sure thankful for these pictures and pages it help me along the way. Still don't know how to use a computer but it will do. So I guess I say so long till the next build. Some parting shot of where my ship lays now Good bye all Thanks 😊 ☺️

    Hi, well the 3 hole violin block thing will do , I got this done except the tieing of the rigging lines all are run but not tied. I found the end of my rope had to make a few adjustments but this is what's left wow
  17. Knocklouder
    I really am having fun on my first build, I thought rigging would be done soon but it is tuff, any way lovin it I even ordered LANina and the Pinta from Amati so I can have all three by the same maker. 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.

    This is how it looks now, got to do the three hole violin blocks, which I have broken both one with the drill and one with the pin, Trying to make the holes bigger then realized, use a smaller rope lol, got them fixed now will put it together hopefully.

    Rat lines done , not making the little ladder for the top to climb in they can slip in under lol
  22. Knocklouder
    Now I started rigging,wow is there ever a lot of ropes and knots lol I have to look at others builds to figure where they all go but making good progress I think, following the plan like I have seen here before.

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.
