    Very nice work B.E.

    Thank you Vlad.

    Thanks Joe. Yes still 6 days a week. Though the activity is decreasing I've still have to put in the hours. I just pick away a bit at a time and I post once I've compiled enough.

    Thanks Glenn.

    Hi Glenn, Your Cheerful is looking great and so are your pictures. Love it!

    For me it seems I spend an extraordinary amount of time rerunning line as I keep crossing them. She's coming along nicely.

    Hi Greg. I've enjoyed working with the pear and happy with the way it is looking. As to the rudder opening you are correct about the openings size. I can get about 2/3 movement but I didn't want to cut away more of the frieze. So straight and steady for this Winnie! Can't get anything past those sharp eyes of yours.
  8. Rustyj
    Exactly! Just follow Chucks mantra "slow and steady"

    Thanks Greg. For me I would do it at Chapter 5. It wasn't hard at all to do and I'd worry about putting the frieze on with the hole there.

    For me the center was the hardest. You should have smoother sailing now.

    Beautiful work!

    Yes I do too. Thank you for creating such a wonder design that we get to have so much fun with! Thanks Glenn and Bob. She's so much fun to build. Also thanks for the likes too!

    Ok I can breath a little easier. I flipped her over cut the hole mounted the rudder and no dropsies. As per the instructions the pintels and gudgeons were added, sanded thinner and the the bolts simulated with 20lb monofilament though once everything was painted black they are hard to see in the pictures. First Test Fit Starting the finishing And finished I've seen Chuck beautiful base and pretty soon I've gotta figure out how I'm gonna mount her!

    I've started the rigging with the bowsprit first. I mounted the bowsprit and then the gammoning. The spritsail was then attached. The running rigging was then added. The ends were tied off with the extra line left attached in case adjustment was needed later on.

    I always liked Christmas in July!

    And so is your log! Well done Glenn.

    Thanks Steve. It felt great getting to work on her again. Hi Matt, Not too afraid of turning her over though a spotter isn't a bad idea. It's cutting the hole in the lower counter that has me spooked the most! Also thanks for the likes!

    Hi All, My chapter 5 Cherry parts arrived a while ago and I've found sometime to get back at the Winnie. Though Chuck supplied a superb laser cut rudder I tried my hand at cutting one out of pear on my scroll saw. I'm pleased with the way it came out so I will be using it. Here it is assembled waiting to be tapered on the aft side towards the bottom. It needs to end up around 5/32" wide. I marked it off and you can see one side sanded to the correct thickness. These are the boxwood laser cut pintels and gudgeons. They were added to the rudder along with the straps and 20# monofilament to simulate the bolts. Next I'll have to flip the hull over and, gasp, cut the rudder port in the lower counter and hang the rudder. Nothing can go wrong doing that can it?!
  19. Rustyj
    I agree with Chuck and Matt. I did alternate the rows but that was just my way of doing it.
  20. Rustyj
    Thank you Chuck, Glenn and Glenn. Oh so tempting. They tell me we'll be back to a more normal schedule in early May. Hopefully they're not blowing smoke up you know where!

    Hi all, Here are the fore mast and yards all completed with their blocks and some of the lines attached ahead of time. And the masts have been temporarily set in place. It's a great kit and coming along nicely. Thanks for stopping by!
  22. Rustyj
    She's a beauty Glenn!
  23. Rustyj
    Looking great Glenn. Another great example of your fine workmanship!

    Hi Bob, Everything is looking really nice. Red capstan for me also. I'm undecided on the gun carriages as I think both ways look really good. I intend to add at least the breach ropes and eagerly look forward to seeing how your side tackles come out!
  25. Rustyj
    Very nice Mike!

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.
