    Slocum is now running before the storm with main and mizzen furled, sea anchor out and storm jib flying like a spinnaker .
  2. HIPEXEC
    I've installed a sea anchor. Next will be a furled mizzen. Then Slocum can coast safely before the storm while reading and drinking wine.

    The storm jib is almost set, the main is furled, next I'll set a sea anchor and furled mizzen. Then Joshua Slocum can ride out the storm drinking wine and reading.

    What do you stunt fly?

    I'm installing a storm jib from an old model and a bilge pump

    Still more rigging. Trying to make sails but I'm not having much success. The sail material that came with this old kit looks like a pillow case? Now I'm trying to retro some old sails I have. Here's some more pics FYI.
  7. HIPEXEC
    I've added books to Slocum's library and a bottle of wine. Not much else I can do.

    Help! Does anyone know how I can change the era of this build? It should be up to 1900 not where I mistakenly put it. Thanks in advance.

    Joshua Slocum " Reading day and night..."

    Some progress on the rigging. Slow going with theses old fingers.
  11. HIPEXEC
    Two steps forward one step back! While rigging the chain plates I snapped off a cabin wall??? Oh well. It's fixed now.
  12. HIPEXEC
    Can't figure out how to change era???
  13. HIPEXEC
    You're right, Sailor. I'll see if I can change that.

    " I've been workin' on the rigging...all the live long day!"
  15. HIPEXEC
    Yep! Ill be working on the rigging for a while. I'll have to make all the components
  16. HIPEXEC
    I've removed the stub masts and replaced them with full sized main and mizzen masts that now have to be tapered and stained.
  17. HIPEXEC
    My Admiral says I have to add some rigging to this ship as well as a reclining figure of Slocum. Now I'll need to find a two inch figure and make it look like a bald bearded man.
  18. HIPEXEC
    Great build!
  19. HIPEXEC
    No rigging!!! Just use your imagination for sails. As far as the tacks go, they're in his chest by his bunk
  20. HIPEXEC
    I've run out of ideas to furnish Slocum's Spray. I'm open to suggestions.
  21. HIPEXEC
    I've tied down Slocum's shortened dingy and added some sacks of flour to his stores.
  22. HIPEXEC
    Brian, Hooray! Your instructions were perfect
  23. HIPEXEC
    Thanks
  24. HIPEXEC
    How do I edit my signature?
  25. HIPEXEC
    Help! How do I get my Spray build to show under my name? It only shows 3 old builds now.

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.
