    I've been able to grab a little shop time here and there. I've completed the main mast and yards now. I've attached the brace and lift lines to the Main Topgallant Yard as well the lines to the main yard. On to the foremast now.

    This all looks fantastic. I can't wait to get back at her!
  3. Rustyj
    Your rigging is coming along nicely!

    Sorry for the late reply B.E. If I remember correctly it was a combination of both. I would sand horizontally at the rail and the first 7-10mm or so as of the frames as they were strong there. Then the as much as possible the lower portions of the frames were sanded vertically. Hope this helps!

    Excellent job JJ!

    Hi B.E. I just got a moment to catch up on your barge work and you've done a great job on her!

    Very very nice workmanship Mike. You're an inspiration to us all!

    Still learning but I love it. Thanks for your help!

    I've been grabbing a bit of shop time here and there and have been working on the masts. To work on the masts I obtained a new Proxxon MF 70 mill. Tools, gotta have tools! Anyways it came in very handy when shaping the square ends on the masts. Here are some of the various mast parts. And here is the Mizzen Mast and yards.

    Very nice work Bob!

    Looks like you've got a good handle on it! Nice work.

    Everything is looking really nice JJ.

    Same stuff I've also used for years and haven't had any rusting either.
  14. Rustyj
    Hmmm. I am torn because both look so good. I am leaning more towards showing the knees though. For me seeing them looks special. Decisions, Decisions!

    Just a little update. I was able to complete the bowsprit and spritsail this weekend. On to the Mizzen Mast next.

    Thank you Theodosius! Thanks Glenn but not anywhere close to Jim's workmanship. Also thanks for all the likes. Finally a day off so hopefully I get sometime in the shop today!

    Time in the shipyard has been severally curtailed of late and not looking good for the future either. So far I've been able to add the deadeye/chain plate assembly as well as build the trestletrees and the fore, main and mizzen top platforms. Next I'll start working on the yards when I have some free time.

    Very interesting. Looks real nice!

    Great work Glenn. I love the picture too!
  20. Rustyj
    That looks really good Matthias!

    Purchased separately. I don't remember what is the correct size. I'll check when I get home.

    I asked this a while ago. Per Chuck, "The cannon are in fact the 1 15/16 resin for the gun deck. 1 9/16 for the upper decks."
  23. Rustyj
    Neither did dropping it a couple of times do much for me! Looking forward to this build!
  24. Rustyj
    Now the real fun starts! She's looking really good!
  25. Rustyj
    Very nice work B.E. It was fun following along!

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.
