    I obtained one of Syren's stands for the longboat. While I'm still finishing the rigging I've also completed the stand and six of the oars. I painted the oars red as they were on the contemporary model.

    That's great to hear! You'll love it. Thanks for the kind word but I wish I was able to follow you. Thanks Ken. It was a pleasure seeing you and everyone else. Going to Chucks shop was like making a trip to the holy lands. Well I've been whacking away and need to post a lot to catch up. The rigging is mainly completed. There's a lot of line hanging all over the place though. I need to go back and adjust all the line tension and make the rope coils. I've also started to make the oars. Here you can see the start of the tapering to thin the blade down. Still a long way to go. The three stages. Stock untouched, handle attached and sanded and shaped. Finished oars ready to paint, And the first four with their first coat of paint. Whew that was a long one. Thanks for stopping by and all the support!

    Well done Ben. Not to tricky but enough to make me nervous.

    Brief whining moment! Well I just completed 9 straight days of working with limited time in the shop. Ok whining over! I've made the Deadeys, straps and served the line for the shrouds, backstay and the forestay. Let the rigging begin!

    Well done Steve!

    B.E. I just caught up with your progress and it was a pleasure to view. Your ingenuity and workmanship is fantastic!

    Hi Bob, Ah you did a wonderful job despite the kits shortcomings. Here's to better health in 2019 and a better kit to build next!
  12. Rustyj
    Off to a good start. I love to see what we use for to clamp and hold planks in place. Very creative!
  13. Rustyj
    Thanks Chuck, Yes the new version of your rope is even better than your current rope. Hard to believe but true. As you said no "frizzies", looks great right out of the package and working with it is fantastic. I'll be doing the stays and shrouds soon and will post more picture!

    Good to see you moving forward. Well done.

    Here is the gaff with the lines attached. And the gaff in position. The lines are in place but will have to be either loosened or tightened as the rigging progresses.

    Thanks Steve, now get back in the shop! Thanks BE much appreciated. Also thanks for all the likes!

    Hi All, The masting and rigging kit arrived and I've finally found some shoptime so the adventure continues. The kit contained wood for the mast, gaff, bowsprit and boom. It also contains the dead eye kits, 1/4" blocks, wire, brass, pins, flag, plan sheet, rigging line etc. to complete the model. Here the wood has been lined off to start rounding them off. The gaff has the sides shaved off with a #11 x-acto. The bowsprite and gaff completed. And I forgot to take pictures of the mast and boom completed but here they are rigged in place. The hooks and eye bolts were made from supplied 22 ga. wire. Thanks for stopping by!

    Beautiful workmanship Ben!
  19. Rustyj
    Ken, panic is acceptable. It turned out very nice.
  20. Rustyj
    Great work Bob!
  21. Rustyj
    Boy you have been busy. Your model looks outstanding. I love the additional touches.
  22. Rustyj
    Yes Ben, very nice!
  23. Rustyj
    Hi Chuck. Order placed! As I have a lot of your rope on hand I'm good. Otherwise I would have been one of those who use too much rope.
  24. Rustyj
    Thanks Ken. I'd love to stop in sometime. The only time I see your club is @ the Connecticut show in April.
  25. Rustyj
    Looking nice Ken. Hopefully fairing will be able to "correct" the swerve.

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.
