    Yes it does really make the ship look classy!

    Looks good!I made mine to resemble The Surprise!

    Man you trashed the stem!You have to be careful.I know because I did the same thing on my Scientific Sark and had to carve a whole new stem that connects to the keel!
  4. Lucius Molchany
    Yes I agree!The rigging is very structural and really anchors the masts down.

    Dude!I forgot to mention that I reinforced the plastic dolphin striker with a section of an old airbrush needle that I epoxied behind it on my Revell Thermopylae.I wish I would have told you sooner to avoid the breakage!.

    Can you post a close up pic of the bowsprit/jibboom?I want to see how how you rigged it and if you pit the chains on yet.

  13. Lucius Molchany
    Yeah I dont like slack lines so I have to be careful to keep the tension in balance.
  14. Lucius Molchany

    Don't forget that the Sark was beating the Thermopylae badly when her rudder was torn off in a storm. in subsequent races the Curry beat the Thermopylae frequently. The Thermopylae still holds the record of 63days from Graves end to Melbourne.

    Looks great too me!It is true that we modelers are our own harshest critics.
  22. Lucius Molchany
    Thanks!guys!It is coming along nicely and I ran another line and added a 5th jib.Looks much better now!i assembled and installed the main mast and tied up the main mast rat lines.The sails are all laced to the yards and are installed on the masts.I can run the standing rigging ok just have to be careful.The running rigging may be a challenge but the ship is large enough that enough space exists to do ok.Thanks for the compliments!

    Began assembling the main mast and used the plastic yard mounts on the brass tube.
  24. Lucius Molchany
    Added the jibs.i may add another jib to make it look right.

    Rigged up the front.Had to use an old chain from my wife's jewelery box,as it was the only one I could find that fit the holes in the dolphin striker.

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.
