    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?!

    I agree with Chuck and Matt. I did alternate the rows but that was just my way of doing it.

    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!

    She's a beauty Glenn!

    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!
  12. Rustyj
    Very nice Mike!
  13. Rustyj
    Oh yeah for me the red capstan is definitely the way to go.
  14. Rustyj
    she's looking great Chuck. I think the red is a great look. It really makes the column stand out more. As far as questions go I'm sure we'll swamp you with them when we get to that point!

    Very nice work Glenn.
  16. Rustyj
    Great job Mike!

    Thank you Glenn and Jean-Paul. Also for all the likes. With my expanded work schedule unfortunately rigging will go slowly. With one day off a week it leaves little time available. When rigging I don't like to jump in and out with a half hour here, forty five minutes there. I prefer to have a couple of hours at a time so I can "get in a grove".

    Beautiful work Glenn!

    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.
  20. Rustyj
    This all looks fantastic. I can't wait to get back at her!
  21. Rustyj
    Your rigging is coming along nicely!
  22. Rustyj
    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!
  23. Rustyj
    Excellent job JJ!
  24. Rustyj
    Hi B.E. I just got a moment to catch up on your barge work and you've done a great job on her!
  25. Rustyj
    Very very nice workmanship Mike. You're an inspiration to us all!

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.
