    Hi Mark, It's tedious, slow work but the effort is well worth it. Looking real good.

    Thanks Dirk, Joe, Grant, Pat, and Elia for stopping by and the kind words. Also thanks everyone for the likes. The mast has been painted and assembled and dry fit back in place. I'll continue fitting out the yards next. Then it's time to learn to make thimbles and seize line!

    Hi all, Been real busy this summer with vacation, family commitments and working the last 4 weeks straight hasn't left a lot of time for modeling. I did pop in and out of the shop from time to time a few minutes at a time. To make the various masts, yards etc I took some boxwood cut into square stock and shaped them. The mast dry fitted. Next I'll be painting and attaching blocks and foot ropes. It's great to be back in the shop and doing what I'm supposed to be doing!

    Yessssssss! Ah it's great to see you back at the Winnie. I know it's hard to imagine but I'm sure v2.0 will exceed your great work on v1.0. Yippee!

    Hi Chuck, Everything is looking so fine. I love it. The powders sure seem the way to go. Guess it's time to get some! Thanks

    Looking great Chuck. I can't wait to add it to my " collection".

    Hi Bob, You've been busy while I was away. As usual some great workmanship and it was a pleasure catching up on your log. I agree making parts multiple times and the continuous sanding, test fitting and sanding again is truly one of the pleasures. Keep up the good work!
  8. Rustyj
    Mike your workmanship is first rate . Also your pictures will be a great reference if I ever get there!
  9. Rustyj
    Your finish is wondeful Grant!

    Hi Bob, I just got caught up and you are proceeding along, as always, very nicely.
  11. Rustyj
    Very nice Mike. Wanna make a bunch more?

    Thanks Pat but it's really a lot easier when using Chucks laser cut parts! Also thanks for all the likes!

    It’s time for a long overdue up date. Next up was the rudder. Like other parts I used Chucks Syren laser cut rudder. The rudder is tapered as it works its way aft. Also the forward edge is chamfered on both sides. The pintels and grudeons were made made from another Syren kit. The bolts are simulated with 24 gauge wire. Time to make some masts and yards!

    Hi Bob, Well done. I've always admired your ability to adapt and correct "technical" issues.

    Hi Chuck, Pat Bob and Grant. Thanks so much for the kind words. And thanks everyone for all the likes too!

    Well worth the wait Chris!

    Hi All, Well all of the carronades and long guns have been rigged and rope coils placed. I also put the pumps in place. Next up I’ll be doing the rudder and tiller. Thanks for stopping by and all the likes.

    She's loooking great again! Hope all goes well with the new framing. I know I shouldn't say this but I can't wait for the fall. Enjoy your summer!

    She's a beauty Chuck!

    Thank you Rob!

    Hi Bob, It’s looking real good and brings back fond memories of the FA and Halifax! I think that by the time you finish fairing them up all signs of the laser char will be gone. Very nice.

    Hi Michael and Pat. Thanks for the kind words. Also thanks everyone for all the likes!

    Hi All, Still slowly rigging the cannon. I’m so glad there are only 12! As a distraction I assembled the elm tree pumps. Again another great mini kit from Chuck. The laser parts were a life saver. I will hold off on placing until after I finish rigging the guns. They should be safer that way.
  24. Rustyj
    Hi All, Time for some updating. I took a break from rigging the cannon and seeing that I’d made the bow sprite I figured I should put in place. I made the bowsprit step from Chuck’s mini kit. It was of, course, a pleasure to build and went together like a dream. The winch on the other hand was scratch built from the plans. There were a few do over’s and the scrap bin is a bit fuller but success was finally achieved. And here is it all in place. I guess it's back to stropping blocks and finishing up the cannon rigging.

    That's great. Thanks for the detailed explanation and pictures.

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.
