    Oh yeah for me the red capstan is definitely the way to go.

    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.

    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.

    This all looks fantastic. I can't wait to get back at her!
  9. 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!
  13. Rustyj
    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!
  17. Rustyj
    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.
  20. 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.
  22. Rustyj
    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.
  24. Rustyj
    Very interesting. Looks real nice!

    Great work Glenn. I love the picture too!

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.
