    Hi All, Finished the life boat. Used the kit provided lifeboat as a template for scratch building this life boat. It is my first scratch built life boat using no plans. Here are some photos of the work.

    Main top gallant sail attached : I could not make it look good partially furled, so I furled it completely.

    Hi All, Work has been progressing steadily on yard and sheet installments and rigging. Some photos of the work as below. Main sheet view from front and back.

    Mizzen mast sails are more or less done with partially furled sail - not completely to my satisfaction, but still acceptable i think.

    Overview of the ship after the first sails are attached.
  16. Rock_From_Korea
    The fabric I used is more or less the thinnest fabric that can be used in our sewing machine, and yet natural look of partially furled sails are quite difficult to achieve.
  17. Rock_From_Korea
    Mizzen top mast (?) rigging started and I plan to position the sails half (or partially) furled.
  18. Rock_From_Korea
    Mizzen mast yard rigging continued...

    Hi All, It seems that MSW's page break set-up is calibrated to about 30 posts. And since I have put in many pictures in single posts, the page is getting too long. I will post individual pictures (or couple of pictures per post) for the next couple of posts and resume the usual method once the page is turned. The yards are finished as per below.
  22. Rock_From_Korea

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.
