    I'm ready to rig the boom and gaff. I'm glad I have blocks from other kits.
  2. HIPEXEC
    I'm happy that I have a stash of leftover parts from other kits since most from this kit are unusable. 😜
  3. HIPEXEC
    I stained and added blocks to gaff. Now I'll press on
  4. HIPEXEC
    So far the repairs are acceptable but not great. I'll press on.
  5. HIPEXEC
    Thanks. Nice trick
  6. HIPEXEC
    I'm trying to repair them but if I don't like the repair I'll make them new.

    I'm building the spanker boom and gaff and instructions recommend to drill the yokes while still in the frame but the holes split anyway. This kit has inferior wood.

    Lower starboard side ratlines finished. Photo to follow as soon as can figure out how to use my new computer? 😜
  13. HIPEXEC
    Slow but sure. They say 5-6 more months! Thanks for asking. Rich😠
  14. HIPEXEC
    I finally got around to tying some more ratlines.

    Harley, You've got good eyes. I built that simulator for my grandson, but he grew tired of flying it, I never tire of flying (flew for 30 years in USMC and TWA)

    Thanks, Jesse and Kevin

    Doctor took the bandages off and gave me burn garments that have the fingers exposed!!! Hooray...I can tie knots again!
  18. HIPEXEC
    Well, it turns out the bandaged hands and tying ratlines don't mix! I'll have to wait or search for a project I can do. 😠
  19. HIPEXEC
    I finished all the shrouds. Now, I'll tackle the ratlines.
  20. HIPEXEC
    Thanks, Frank

    I finished the starboard shrouds. My brain tells me I should put my build on hold until I get the bandages off my hands, but my heart pushes me on. As a result this model will not be as "crisp" as when I was healthy/ Oh well!
  22. HIPEXEC
    Go get 'em, Jesse!
  23. HIPEXEC
    They tell me It will take the best part of a year to heal my burned hands! Oh well....nobody said tying tiny knots would ever be easy. 😠
  24. HIPEXEC
    Two more topmast shrouds complete. Slow but sure.
  25. HIPEXEC
    I'm starting to rig the dead eyes for both fore and main topmasts

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.
