    Thanks Jeff et al for your help on this, I am not sure why my bow sprit doesn’t seat tightly but I’ll use the measurements that Jeff provided. It’s a wonderful kit, though right now I am waiting on replacement material from Amati (foremast crows nest); strictly my bad, but should never have tried to correct my misalignment of the deadeye holes. Live and learn.

    Hi Jeff I am new to MSW but have been following your build for a while as a visitor. I am also building this kit at present and while, no where near as ambitious as you, I have appreciated many of the comments and points you have made as its has helped me on numerous occassions. Currently, I am constructing the masts and bowsprit and I do have a question. When I dry fit the bowsprit, it is of course off centre - there seems to be a great deal of play in the fitting so I assume it needs to cross the bow at a particular angle. There do not appear to be any diagrams or pictures from above to guide this. Can I ask how you chose to do it? Your ship is an absolute masterpiece. regards, Marc

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.
