    Just wow. Each one so cool and unique, but the collection itself is mind blowing. Well done and cool journey! Who says you can't travel back in time?

    Not to hijack, but... @tmj You should build that thing. My next build will be Constructo's Enterprise and she is reknowned for inaccuracies - but dang if she doesn't build into a beauty. Sometimes the "bad/inaccurate" models are significant in their own right: Davis' Lexington, MCann's Sovereign of the Sea, Constructo's Enterprise. They are still around today because they are beautiful models. I am betting that Cutty Sark would be fabulous - love that Constructo wood!! By the by, I recently saw Constructo's Enterprise on TV - in Captain Pike's stateroom aboard NCC-1701 on "Strange New Worlds". Inaccurate or not, she does look good! Can't keep a good model design down! 🤣

    (For those keeping score, that's two eternities for this build so far.) A little update. Not weighing in on lanyards being running rigging or standing, but cosmetically the tan shroud lanyards just seemed to "disappear". For that reason I switched 'em all to dark brown. Mr. Nash approves. Futtock staves fitted. I used them to spread the shrouds so the catharpins would go around the masts without rubbing. Not sure this is 1:1 protocol, but it worked. Catharpins added. They are 0.008" Syren rope but to be to scale according to Smithsonian they would have been around 0.002"! They look tiny at 0.008"! Mainmast shrouds are all at the same completion as the foremast. Mainmast futtock staves and catarpins. Finally, the fore topmast shaped, trees added, and finished. So so far symmetry is pretty good athwartship. The catharpins were vexing as even a millimeter off port to starboard and it is apparent. Thank goodness they are so thin. Thanks for checking in - any advice or thoughts appreciated.

    Very cool chapter in a very cool project. Well done! Thanks for the history lesson Keith. Interesting times they were. Really enjoyed this one.
  28. Coyote_6 started following Red Jacket by John Ruy - Marine Model Company - 1/16”=1’ (1/192 scale) - Vintage Solid Hull Clipper Ship Kit , USS Constitution by Cena - Revell - 1/96 - PLASTIC , Prince de Neufchatel Random Updates and 2 others

    Just more "wow" Phil. Everytime you break out the brass, snips, and solder it's just more wow. Each one is a model unto itself, and enough to hold one's interest for more than a bit. Well done sir!
  30. Coyote_6
    Glad to see you back at it! She's looking great!!!

    @Cathead That is so darn cool!
  32. Coyote_6
    Wow Keith! Beautiful. (Fixed it for ya!) 😜

    Amazing work Bruce. Wonderful details, and the colors are perfect! Well done sir!

    @ClipperFan No sir - I am convinced of the coach house. I am always interested in the markings and cosmetics of the stern. I guess if I was McKay it would have been identical in font and layout to Glory of the Seas except to replace Glory with Sovereign. I have spent some time trying to ascertain if and how the Prince de Neufchatel would have had her name on the stern, or even a contemporary example that looks good. But with so many characters to accomodate I will likely leave the hull unmarked. But I do enjoy those kind of details 😜.

    Rope hank tool is brilliant. Would cherry be an option? (My serving machine is aging beautifully and looks great in the shop!)
  36. Coyote_6
    You are moving smartly as always Phil! Looking great!

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.
