    I’m sure I’ll learn a thing or two. Is this your first wooden model?
  2. Isaiah
    Foremast yards ready to be rigged to the foremast. I am waiting on some dowel and cord for the main mast yards.

    Here is the full pdf instructions if you’d like to see them: https://www.modelerscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Perseverance-Instructions-V3.0.pdf

    Thank you Ferrus, the diagrams you’ve showed me look very similar to what mine is supposed to look like. I’ll show you the other pages one of these days.
  5. Isaiah
    Yard construction has commenced.

    Thank you! I’m not too sure on what my next build would be, I like the look of the Soleil Royale by Mantua or something similar. One of the main reasons I chose the Perseverance was because it included the DVDs and beginner friendly instructions. For my next one I’ll be more free to choose as I’ll know what I’m looking for and won’t have to constrain to certain things that I thought I needed. I also didn’t know about the Modellers ship world forum before I started.

    Thank you Ferrus. Are you talking about the lines belayed at the cleats?

    I will be spending more time on the model as I want to get it done in the next few months. I have just completed a few running rigging items including: The boom, boom lift and topping lift, boom mainsheet, the gaff, throat halliard and peak halliard.

    I added my follow. even at 1:200 scale it’s still a large model. Goes to show how much of a behemoth these battleships are.
  10. Isaiah
    Congrats on the completion of the model! I bet you’d be a bit sad giving away something you’ve spent so much time on.
  11. Isaiah
    Merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🎅🎄 I had no idea you were working on this model but it looks very nice.
  12. Isaiah
    I hope it will be at least slightly better than ratlines.
  13. Isaiah
    Good timing mate! I just finished the top mast and top gallant shrouds with the accompanying ratlines which I prolonged because I found it so boring. I’m happy to have got that out of the way and onto the running rigging. here is my progress.
  14. Isaiah
    I thought I’d share my progress since I just finished rigging the ratlines. The flying jib stays and the bowsprit stay are also rigged. Rigging the ratlines sure are tedious and boring but I think they look pretty good.
  15. Isaiah
    Congratulations Ferrus, you’ve done a marvellous job. I will be following your next build.
  16. Isaiah
    I’ll have to think about it. Would I just do it on the forestay’s where two of them are close together?
  17. Isaiah
    Ok thank you, I’ll just loop it through the hole that I’ll drill. This was my vague original idea.
  18. Isaiah
    I have the two jib stays just sitting there right now because there’s just too much strain on the bowsprit. Next thing I do before rigging the flying jib stay as well as tightening the others is rigging the bowsprit stay. (See photos below) One question I have is how to connect the stay to the keel. Not really sure on how to do that.
  19. Isaiah
    Ran out of black cord today, this is where I got up to. I have loosely rigged the fore topmast stay and two of the jib stays. I also shortened the distance between the fore stay deadeyes.
  20. Isaiah
    Looking good Ferrus, I will be following your next build as well whenever you start that.
  21. Isaiah
    Oh ok. Will you just build from scratch using the HMS Bounty/Beagle plans? Also, will that be your first wood model?
  22. Isaiah
    Is it called HMS Botany Bay? I couldn’t find any info on the ship.
  23. Isaiah
    It depends on what you want to do, 40-1500 hours. I’m still studying with books at the moment.
  24. Isaiah
    I’m working towards a career in aviation. First trying to obtain my Private pilots licence. (PPL)
  25. Isaiah
    I meant work on the ship in general. haven’t really done much since my last post.

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.
