    Beautiful!
  2. Rustyj
    Thanks for the update and milling tips. She's looking great and thankfully the busy summer and complete lack of shoptime quenches my desire to start on her!

    Very nice Bob, You're on to a lot of fun stuff now!
  4. Rustyj
    Very nice and welcome back!

    Hi B.E. Great workmanship and presentation. It was a pleasure following along too. Well done!

    That is a wonderful job on the planking Bob.

  9. Rustyj
    That is just one of the greatest ideas I’ve ever seen! Very nice!

    Very nice Ben!

    Very nicely done Chuck. Your step by step explanation as well as accompanying pictures will make it much easier to do. Thanks.

    While waiting for my new line I made 4 three block assemblies. They consist of two 3/32 single blocks and one 1/8" single block. These are for rigging the lower yards sheets, tacks and clue lines. The new line has arrived and now the rigging can continue! Thanks also for all the likes.

    She's looking really good. Your usual excellent workmanship. I went with both guns at the bow as it looked better to me.

    Onward we go. I'm temporarily stalled as I underestimated the amount of .008 line I would need. An order with Syren was made and as usual Chuck shipped right away. Hope to have it in a day or two! This where I am at this moment.The anchors have been re rigged and back in place. All of the Topgallant and Royal Yard rigging has been completed. I've completed the main and fore lower yard braces too. Next up is the sheets, tacks and clue lines when I receive the ordered line.

    Always a pleasure to watch you work!

    She's looking really good. The pictures are nice but she looked even better in person. Keep up the good work.

    Thank you B.E., Dubz, and Walace. Yes it is sad that our four legged mates come and go so quickly leaving a hole that is hard to fill. She was the best of a long line of shop mates! I've started the rigging of the royal yards and should have more progress soon. Also thanks all for stopping by and all the likes.
  19. Rustyj
    That’s really sad to see. Sorry Jeff.

    Ok it's been a tough couple of weeks in the workshop. While working on the rigging for the topsail and topgallant yards the sleeve of my shirt caught the fore royal stay snapping the topgallant mast at the sheave. Soooooo the air was very blue for awhile and once it cleared and I could see straight I disassembled the topgallant mast again, made a new one and re-rigged it ..... again. Once that was done I was able to continue working on the rigging with short sleeved shirts! With the Main and Fore Topsail and Topgallant yards in place I've rigged the ties, buntlines, lifts, sheets, clue lines and braces. Next I'll move on to the Royal yards. Now for the second and more painful workshop tragedy. My shopmate for the last 11 1/2 years has gone on to the great workshop in the sky as is the issue with beloved pets who never seem to live long enough. She was my faithful companion every day for all those years always making moving around the shop a challenge. You see she was a 135lb (61kg) mastiff and she took up a whole lot of space though she thought she was a lap dog. Tallie last fall on her 11th birthday. And where you would more commonly find her. She didn't mind me stepping around her at all! A gentle giant who will be greatly missed.

    Great job Ben. Like Chuck said your presentation of the exposed frames is really sweet!
  22. Rustyj
    Great job! You should be very proud!
  23. Rustyj
    That's what I did and it worked well for me. Everything is looking great!
  24. Rustyj
    Great workmanship Ken. If any of the monofilament should show a very tiny drop of yellow ochre paint hides them well.
  25. Rustyj
    Thanks B.E. very much appreciated. Slow going but I'm getting there. Thanks for all the likes 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.
