    Thanks Eric. Yes you should get back to her! You've done all the hard work now the fun begins.
  2. Rustyj
    Thank you Bob and Brian. Brian I highly recommend getting back to it. She's a great model to build.
  3. Rustyj
    Thanks Chuck. Yes almost there. Should have her done by Thanksgiving. I hope! As far as a clean bench goes you should see everything I pushed onto the floor so I could take the picture.

    The topsail yard has been hung and all lines belayed. I need to make several rope coils and check all lines to ensure they are still snug then its on the the anchors!

    Hi druxey. All I can say is the foot ropes match the plans. Laying on the bench they don't hang as low as they are though. Thanks for checking.
  6. Rustyj
    Thank you druxey! Much appreciated also thanks for the likes. Here's the topsail yard with the lifts, braces, clue line, sheets and sling attached. I hope to place it later today.
  7. Rustyj
    The main yard has been placed and the braces and lifts attached and tightened. I'll add rope coils once I finish the top sail yard and make sure everything is snug.

    Great work on the pumps and the rest of the deck pieces.
  9. Rustyj
    Thanks Pat. Just following Chucks teachings!

    Ah thanks Bob. That makes me feel much better! Thanks for all the likes too!

    Everything is so sharp and neat. You really have a talent for POF. Well done!

    I've completed the Foresail Halliard, Jib Halliard and the inhaul and outhaul. Hard to see in these pics but they are there. Sorry Bob but you're really gonna have to strain to proof these. Here is the lower yard sling and the sling in place on the yard. As I made both yards earlier I'm hoping to make a good deal of progress in the next couple of days.

    Thanks Pat, The crew has a bit of a taste for Irish Whiskey right now but will definitely appreciate the extra ration.
  14. Rustyj
    Thank you for the kind words Al and Joe. Also thanks for the likes.

    The topmast shrouds and the topmast stay have been added. All lines have had their tension adjusted, tied off and the rats nest of excess line has been removed. Rope coils have been added too. That completes the standing rigging and we're heading towards the finish!
  16. Rustyj
    LOL no one is happier than me Bob! Your job isn't over until i finish though.

    Hi Mark. All the paints I used were Admiralty Paints. Red Ochre, dull black and flat black were the colors. Thanks Rusty
  18. Rustyj
    Thanks Dirk and Chuck! Also all the "likes" too.
  19. Rustyj
    Well after the shroud debacle I'm back on track and all of the pesky ratlines have been added to the shrouds. Also all the lines were re tightened prior to adding the ratlines. Now I have to remove the excess and add the rope coils.

    Thanks albert, mobbsie and all the likes! Thanks druxey, Chuck mentioned that the burton pendant tackles were "normally' not rigged but thought it would be nice to show them rigged so I'm following his example. Joe, there are so many oops in my builds that I chuckle more then yell. That is when it's found early. If that had been found after the ratlines had been done some creative cussing may have been in order.
  21. Rustyj
    Here I have completed the sling. Then I served the fore stay, seized the splice and the lanyard wove through the 5-hole deadeye at the other end. I noticed during the turmoil of the shroud screw up I forgot to add the tackle to the burton pendants so I'll go back and do that next!
  22. Rustyj
    Thanks Derek! Thanks for all the likes. Hopefully nobody will have to "unlike" this time! Bob I can't thank you enough. Keep up the quality control, Please!
  23. Rustyj
    Ok lets see here moving along I placed and the lower backstay and the fiddle block is from Syren Ship Modeling. Oh wait a minute I seem to be forgetting something. Oh yes my brain cramp that Bob was so observant and luckily pointed out. Thanks again Bob! I removed all the lower shrouds and burton pendants. Of course I had to re-make all of them! So I got a lot of additional practice on the Serve O Matic serving new shrouds and pendants. So now the new set of shrouds have been re-installed correctly and I'm back on track. That is until the next brain cramp occurs!
  24. Rustyj
    Unlike away druxey cuz I sure don't like it. Hey Dubz deconstruction is way to common here!
  25. Rustyj
    Thanks Ben, Hey Bob don't be sorry! That would have been a really big oops to put it mildly. I look and look at the plans and it never sunk in. I was just getting ready to add the backstay so your timing was perfect. Thanks!!!!!

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.
