    Flags are on, I had quite a bit of trouble with the house flag (see bottom photo) I did save it in the end by painting over the whole thing. One thing I learnt is to use something cylindrical to bend the flag around, otherwise it just makes ugly creases.
  2. Isaiah
    Do you know if they’re carbide? I’ve been looking for the HSS version but can’t find any.
  3. Isaiah
    All rigging is done, Almost there! Just the flags and 35 rope hanks to go.
  4. Isaiah
    Looks like I’ll have to pay extra for the small stuff then! There’s no question I’ll be buying Syren blocks, most standard blocks are awful.
  5. Isaiah
    I hope that someday I could build a model as good as this. Would you say it’s worth it to buy aftermarket rope that’s smaller than 0.5mm? How noticeable would it be compared to say, Amati cord for example.?
  6. Isaiah
    Looking great Simon, you’re flying through this build! I’m looking to buy the Sherbourne from Vanguard Models so the Trial is also a good reference.

    Thanks Phil and John. Im just going to run the line from a block on the gaff down to two cleats on the boom. I’ll probably leave the flag position for now John. I might change it at a later date though.

    Sorry for not showing the model: Your answer sounds good, it seems like that would work.

    This flag halliard diagram isn’t right. It’s way too close to the boom. Could someone help me with how it’s supposed to be? I have no idea if it’s supposed to be connected to the main boom or not. I couldn’t find any diagrams on this. this is the incorrect setup from my instructions:

    I was looking at how to rig the flag halyard and this is what the instructions say. This doesn’t look right to me, it looks too close to the boom. Any advice?
  11. Isaiah
    Mast yards rigged, as you can see the whole things coated in dust and cord fibre.
  12. Isaiah
    Nice blocks! What size fiddle blocks did you use for the backstays?
  13. Isaiah
    Thank you to Greg as well. Very similar technique. I think this must be the way to do it. One other way I thought might work is most people have all their build logs in their signature and can find them from there. This doesn’t always work as there’s still a lot of people who don’t have this or it’s not up to date.

    Thanks everyone for your help. I tried your method Gary and it works well. Like you said, if you select titles while having their name in the search bar it comes up with only their builds. Not quite the same as a drop down in their profile, but it’s good enough.
  15. Isaiah
    Yeah I would’ve used brass but I didn’t have any on hand. Although I do have bluing liquid and it works better on steel.
  16. Isaiah
    Sorry I edited the post from bulwarks to bulkheads. I got them mixed up. What will you be using for the bulkhead frames?
  17. Isaiah
    I want to know if it’s possible to view a profiles builds in a list. I know you can view all their posts but is there a way to see all there builds?
  18. Isaiah
    What wood will you be using for the bulkheads? Or will you use ply or mdf?
  19. Isaiah
    Here it is, from a scrap piece of steel. Very fiddly doing stuff like this.
  20. Isaiah
    I took this from another discussion on tiller rigging, thanks @Dr PR
  21. Isaiah
    Should I use this as a reference? I couldn’t really find anything else that’s for the ships time frame.
  22. Isaiah
    Here is the new tiller:
  23. Isaiah
    I finished all the yards except the bowsprit yard. The main yards are an improvement over the fore yards I did first with a better overall quality. Some things I’ve changed: I’ve listened to you Ferrus and changed the belaying point for the boom lift, it can now swing freely without fouling. I’ve added proper cleats for the davit lifts and made hanks. Should I keep the loops on the deck or hang them on the cleat? As you can see I’ve broke the tiller off as I was never fully happy with the shape so I’ll redo that. Tomorrow I’ll be doing lots of yard rigging. Not sure why the photos are so bad, once I post them to the site they go blurry. 🤔
  24. Isaiah
    Such clean work, looks very nice. Excuse me if this has been mentioned, but is this the cord that’s included in the kit? I’m looking at purchasing a kit by Vanguard.
  25. Isaiah
    I have thought about sails. I’ve decided I’m not going to use them, as I personally like model ships without them.

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.
