    Footropes are completed and yardarms are attached - made a jig to hang the yardarms from with alligator clips this works to help level them and keeps them in position while the glue dries.

    Making slow progress working on the rigging when time permits, Ratlines are finally done & don't want to see another clove hitch for a while. Had some railing posts and brass left over from the Danmark and used them on the mast platforms. Netting was from a flower arrangement donated by the first mate.

    White card stock placed behind the shrouds makes tying the clove hitches for the ratlines easier to see. Hope to get going on the remaining ratlines soon.

    Found this great pic of deadeye rigging and added step numbers in red.

    Soldered up wire jigs to get proper spacing between deadeyes

    Been a while since I posted made some progress but lots of other things happening as usual. Used drill press and dremel to shape the yards.

    Had some leftover rail posts from my Danmark Build - used them with some leftover brass rod to make the side rails.
  24. CapnJack43
    Made a needle out of a piece of brass rod by hammering the end to flatten in and then drill a small hold to insert the anchor line.
  25. CapnJack43
    Bow rails are completed thanks to Kenneth Powell for the great photos in his build log. Made the grating out of 1/32x1/32nd strip wood. Using my home made jig for attaching the rails to the bow makes up for my shaky hands.

    Fore and aft deck rails are done getting ready to work on the bow rails and dreading it.

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.
