    Have fun, be safe. That first big trip of the year was always like a mini training cruise. Look forward to your research results! 👍😀

    Go for it, jump in, don’t look back, move forward, go team go! 👍

    Very nice Jason! The authentic knot and seizing is a goal of mine on my next build. Looking real good! 👍😀

    Top yard installed and rigged. Now comes the fun… seeing if the shrouds will go back in place. 😳

    Hi Neil, good to meet you mate. 👍😀

    Hi There! Welcome to the MSW forum. Do we call you by any other name than native one?

    Thanks Keith! Outstanding research. 👍😀

    I really need to bite the bullet and buy a couple 1:64 scale dudes. I tightened up the foot ropes. Haven’t glued the inner points yet.

    Sailors who went aloft back in the day had huge, brass…. Pocket knives. 🤣

    Thanks Todd. The rigging is actually going much better and faster than I imagined it would. Nothing fancy on this build… no rope coils etc.

    Middle yard complete on to the upper.

    Interestingly enough, I fought those foot ropes more than anything on the build so far. Made 4 sets before I settled on these. I agree they look a little long (and probably are when I get a scale Dude up there). That is one thing I’ve noticed on lots of builds… foot ropes that look to long. It’s in my notes for things to pay attention to on the next build. 👍

    Picture when you get it together. I’m still in the hunt for one.

    Outstanding Glenn! 👍😀

    Good Morning Everyone. Thanks Guys for the support. Here is my library. RIGGING by Lennarth Petersson was actually the most help for the LN. the Shop Notes from the NRG is a pretty cool reference, but it is very broad, not just rigging. The others including Steel’s are for studying and learning anything and everything about wooden sailing vessels from that period in history. As I have mentioned before, it really depends on what each model maker in this hobby is after. Myself, I prefer pictures and photos, so I know what goes where. 😁

    Thursday evening... rigging coming along as best I could hope for on this first build. Up next, middle yard. I'll save the detail photos for completion, these are just build updates. 😁 d
  21. Dave_E
    I’d like some of that action. 😀
  22. Dave_E
    My chair is pulled up. So much learning takes place watching others build and see their techniques. 👍😀
  23. Dave_E
    Are you going to paint the carriages and wheels?
  24. Dave_E
    Hey Jim, Suspected the same thing regarding materials. I thought we’d have better from Model Shipways. I have a list started and will follow what you discover and do. 👍
  25. Dave_E
    Very nice! Whatever our techniques, the successful desired outcome is what matters. Good job. 👍😀

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.
