    Glaxie, I can't thank you enough for the stuff you sent me. Now I know exactly how I'm going to proceed with hanging the yards.
  2. HIPEXEC
    Walt..enjoy the line dispenser.
  3. HIPEXEC
    Glaxi...Great drawings...just what I need!!! Thank you.

    One picture will be worth a thousand words if some one can get me a picture of how a single spar (yard) is attached to the mast. Constructo gives none!
  5. HIPEXEC
    Good luck, Simon. I'm looking forward to watching your build log.

    Walter, I saw the circles on the side view and marked each mast accordingly. I laid out all the sails to match them with each spar. I got the sail names from the internet. The plans to make the spars are excellent, though.
  7. HIPEXEC
    I'll keep looking?
  8. HIPEXEC
    Typical Constructo....They gave me detailed plans to build the spars, but no plan as to where they go or their names. There's one very small picture with bo names or details.

    I'm working on the stays. I'm also trying to improve on my attempt at seizing as I tried to attach each stay to its mast. I've tried pre-making neat seizings only to have them turn into a rats nests when attempting to use them. Maybe in my next life.

    The ratlines are finally finished! I feel like I tied 50,000 knots. If I had to do it over, I would have chosen a thinner guage line for the ratlines. These appear a little too heavy for my taste, but that's what Constructo told me to use. Live & learn. Now I'm working on the various stays

    Bill, Thanks...this is what I will do. I'm still puzzled about attaching the lines at the top? Just a knot seems wrong. Oh well?
  12. HIPEXEC
    Paul, Just start one in "forum".
  13. HIPEXEC
    Bill, Constructo's instructions for the top mast rigging is completely lacking in detail. How do you attach the upper shrouds to the top mast? There's nothing there.
  14. HIPEXEC
    Happy New Year everyone!

    Frank gave me a good tip a while ago on how to trim and clip small parts and line. He said use a straight edge nail clipper and believe me it works great, Well I just found an even better trimmer...a cuticle trimmer I found in the dollar store for a dollar! It really gets you tight and close.
  16. HIPEXEC
    Paul, Did you start a build log for your Constructo?
  17. HIPEXEC
    Out of the mouths of Admirals...... My Admiral just watched me tie what seems like my 50,000th ratline and says to me..."Don't put too many strings on your ship....I want everyone to see all of that fine wood work." Has any one heard that before?
  18. HIPEXEC
    Good luck with your build.
  19. HIPEXEC
    Holiday's over....back to the never ending ratlines!
  20. HIPEXEC
    You're lucky to get laser cut parts....Constructo gives you some wood and a drawing. Anyway, very nice work. I love your details.
  21. HIPEXEC
    My shipyard is idle today as we get ready to host 40 guests for a Christmas party. I'm 16 months into this build and I've learned a lot from all of you...that's a nice Christmas present!
  22. HIPEXEC
    Merry Christmas to all!
  23. HIPEXEC
    Nail clipper trim it will be! Thanks
  24. HIPEXEC
    You guys are great!

    What's a stripper?

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.
