    I glued the bowsprit cap on since I finally got the angle right. The bowsprit is just dry fitted untill I build the whole thing up.

    Tapering the bowsprit with my home made lathe
  3. HIPEXEC
    I'm starting the bowsprit. This is a rough fit before tapering etc
  4. HIPEXEC
    I've installed the pins and stained the bow sprit end

    I've built the bowsprit bit ( inboard support for the base of the bowsprit.) Now I have to clean it up, stain it, then pin and glue it to the deck

    Main mast fife rail installed. I hate to complain, but the wood that comes with this kit is terrible. It splits, cracks, and just plain difficult to work with. I have substituted my own wood in many instances. This fife rail is an example.

    The above pics are of the deck thickeners around the main mast and foremast. Delicate stuff kept wanting to break.

    Thanks, Bob

    Thanks, Bob

    Looking good! Hammocks are a very nice touch.

    I just built the deck thickening around each mast. Tricky devils drilling the mast sized holes in this fragile wood.

    Frank, you are a master in art of model ship building. Excellent work.

    Thanks, Ryzuhr

    Now I'm building the Main Fife Rail. Tiny little bugger that wants to break even though it's laminated. I'm going to pin as well as glue the rail to the deck.

    Thank you Jesse, Frank, POGY647 and Sam. It's good to be back.

    Thanks, Sam.

    I'm finally back. I've been dealing with the "Big C" since February and there was no time or energy to focus on my build. It feels good to focus on something other than medical stuff.
  19. HIPEXEC
    Wow!
  20. HIPEXEC
    It's a work of art!
  21. HIPEXEC
    I'm looking forward to your build. This was my first build.
  22. HIPEXEC
    Thanks, Frank. After the holidays I probably will come down. Merry Christmas!

    I'm experimenting making the perfect boarding ladder rungs. So far, no good. I'll have to go shopping for different woods to make them to my satisfaction.
  24. HIPEXEC
    Good to have you building again
  25. HIPEXEC
    I touched up the installed pinrails with a light coat of varnish. Now I'll move on the the boarding ladders

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.
