    As Arte Johnson used to say... "Verrrry interesting!" 🧐

    A bit of housekeeping with the ship's crew manifest. Poor Captain "Amati", named after the manufacturer of his mold. We will bestow on 'im a name commensurate with his command. Henceforth, Captain Ordronaux, Captain of the American privateer Prince de Neufchatel. As we're going to the actual rolls of the Prince, that gives us our boatswain (and gunner as well), Mister Nash. A dandy, our Mister Nash. Mister Nash has been quite busy fitting out the Prince with the endless tasks required to properly set up a privateer. In the below photo, the 18 brass mast hoops (probably not a traditional material but so pretty 🤣) and some of the 14 functional deck tie down rings. Also, the six lower main mast cleats and the black stain markings around the cleats. All of the appropriate deck eyebolts required for rigging now installed and proof tested... The fore chainwhales with deadeyes... And the main chainwhales... The chains themselves for the chainwhales are next, as well as the first shrouds! Captain Ordronaux is well pleased! Thanks for checking in!

    A beauty with those rails. Definitely not basswood! 🤣
  25. Coyote_6 started following HMS Pegasus 1776 by Knocklouder - Amati/Victory Models - 1:64 and USS Constitution by SUBaron - Model Shipways (MS2040) - 1:76

    Have fun Chuck. I for one am in no hurry apparently (4 years on my current build). Congrats to you all!!
  27. Coyote_6
    Beautiful craftsmanship, beautiful wood. Very pleasing to the eye sir.
  28. Coyote_6
    Keith - what a great looking piece of history. It really looks the part (color, textures, "patina")! Very cool!
  29. Coyote_6
    Very elegant with the standing rigging. Wow!
  30. Coyote_6
    She is pretty. I love the last shot where you made the background disappear - nicely cropped - really accentuates her lines!!
  31. Coyote_6
    Those look amazing Phil. Great uniformity for sure.
  32. Coyote_6
    What did we learn today? We're gonna need a bigger backdrop. (Maybe a bigger house 🤔🤪🤣) Pay no attention to the mast angles, the stays will correct that. And yes, that foremast has another vertical spar to go yet! Hope everyone had a fun and productive weekend.

    Belayed some lines at the bow, with plenty of excess line to the bitter end. Right now, as it stands, everything is more or less "functional", except for a little diluted white glue to ward off @Dr PR's Murphy. Before I started rigging I figured every pin would have a coil of line hanging from it, but now I wonder. Lines like the martingale stays don't need a lot of excess once belayed taught - Maybe enough to bend to if need be? Thoughts? Or am I taking this too far (having realistically scaled lines belayed and coiled)? Coiling actual excess might be a challenge with this line in tight spaces.

    Good progress today. Have all the lines through the eyes in the staysail yard: Outboard: 0.012" line for the flying jibboom guys. 0.012" lanyards. (Chapelle plans.) Inboard: 0.012" line for the jibboom traveller inhauls port and starboard. 0.012" lanyards (Lever, fig 215, "travelling guys"). Middle: 0.018" line for jibboom guys. 0.012" lanyards. (Heavier line for heavier spar, Chapelle plans/Smithsonian Rigging Tables). Below shows port traveller guy/inhaul rigging. Identical guy starboard, overhand knot with superglue. (Forward line in traveller shackle is temporary for placement/tension.) I have two holes left in the dolphin striker and I hope the correct lines become apparent 🤣: Beauty shot to close out the day. Thanks for checking things out!

    Some random progress over the last week or so. There has been much gnashing of teeth on bowsprit rigging (particularly as it relates to the travellers), and still there are questions. Detail of the jib boom traveller: And the flying jib boom and jib boom travellers together. @Dr PR provided invaluable insight on martingale spar(s), martingale lines, and traveller rigging. As I type this I believe we will have it sorted - jib boom traveller inhaul, port and starboard, through the staysail yard rings to the catheads. Flying jib boom traveller inhaul running the centerline via a block at the traveller. So many lines - yikes!! Some work on the foremast - top-o'-the top. (Should probably be all black but natural wood looks nice - can always stain or paint it later?) Bottom-o'-the top. Random deck rings for rigging and some mast cleats, all per Chappelle/Smithsonian plans. I am hoping for a productive weekend. Wishing you all the same!!

    That figure looks pretty convincing, especially at a bigger scale. Nice work!

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.
