    I glued and clamped the fighting tops to the crosstrees.

    Family First!
  3. HIPEXEC
    She's looking good and not so fragile now
  4. HIPEXEC
    Fighting top rails complete. The tops are just resting on the un-stepped masts. I'll glue on the tops next
  5. HIPEXEC
    Rail pinned and glued
  6. HIPEXEC
    Pins in almost ready to glue
  7. HIPEXEC
    Pre-cut parts for the fighting top rear rail. They'll be pinned top and bottom as well as glued.
  8. HIPEXEC
    Battens now finished fore and main
  9. HIPEXEC
    Your cannons are great, but it reminds me I'll have to start a cannon factory one of these days.
  10. HIPEXEC
    Battens continued
  11. HIPEXEC
    Starting to glue on the battens
  12. HIPEXEC
    Fighting tops repaired and new holes drilled with no trouble. I used wood from my stash that is very good quality. I noticed on Jesse Lee's Syren he doubled up the trim where the rails go. I'm going to double mine up also.

    I've re-built the tops. Now I have to re-drill them and trim them to the correct size.
  14. HIPEXEC
    The fighting top rims splintered while drilling the holes for the deadeyes. I will now rebuild the damaged rims.
  15. HIPEXEC
    Hello Sjors! Say hello to Anja. Judy sends her regards.
  16. HIPEXEC
    I glued on the rims to the fighting tops. Next will be to glue on the battens. The cross trees are ready to recieve the fighting tops now.
  17. HIPEXEC
    I finished planking the fighting tops. Now the planks just have to be trimmed. For that I use a straight edge nail clipper. It does a nice job for very thin planks.

    I'm starting to plank the fighting tops
  19. HIPEXEC
    I made a warning flag for my bowsprit. Pretty fancy, eh?
  20. HIPEXEC
    Starting to glue the cross trees. While doing that my big indelicate hands knocked the bowsprit loose! Easy fix though.
  21. HIPEXEC
    I feel like I'm actually on a real ship when I look at your work. Amazing!
  22. HIPEXEC
    Nice work. I'd go blind trying that!
  23. HIPEXEC
    I'm dry fitting the cross trees and trestle trees. These parts are very delicate pre-cuts and I broke one piece. The kit thoughtfully provides an extra piece for each since they knew the parts are very delicate.
  24. HIPEXEC
    Slow but sure the lower masts are being fabricated. They are just "dry" fitted to the hull
  25. HIPEXEC
    Cheeks glued and clamped

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.
