    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.
  2. Isaiah
    Merry Christmas and a happy new year. 🎅🎄 I had no idea you were working on this model but it looks very nice.
  3. Isaiah
    I hope it will be at least slightly better than ratlines.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    Congratulations Ferrus, you’ve done a marvellous job. I will be following your next build.
  7. Isaiah
    I’ll have to think about it. Would I just do it on the forestay’s where two of them are close together?
  8. Isaiah
    Ok thank you, I’ll just loop it through the hole that I’ll drill. This was my vague original idea.
  9. 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.

    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.

    Looking good Ferrus, I will be following your next build as well whenever you start that.
  12. Isaiah
    Oh ok. Will you just build from scratch using the HMS Bounty/Beagle plans? Also, will that be your first wood model?
  13. Isaiah
    Is it called HMS Botany Bay? I couldn’t find any info on the ship.
  14. Isaiah
    It depends on what you want to do, 40-1500 hours. I’m still studying with books at the moment.

    I’m working towards a career in aviation. First trying to obtain my Private pilots licence. (PPL)
  16. Isaiah
    I meant work on the ship in general. haven’t really done much since my last post.
  17. Isaiah
    Thank you Ferrus for the feedback and encouragement. I will try to correct the forestay one of these days.
  18. Isaiah
    Don’t worry I’ve broken many other things as well.
  19. Isaiah
    I have rigged some of the standing rigging, thought I’d share my progress. And yes, I broke the belfry.
  20. Isaiah
    Happy birthday mate! How’s your degree in nautical history going? Are you going to start or have you started already?
  21. Isaiah
    Hello, not that I know what I’m saying but I don’t know about the sail dragging on the deck. Seems like it’s in the way? 🤷‍♂️ At least that’s what I can see, please correct me if it’s not.

    I have assembled the main mast then gave both masts a coat of matte varnish. Both masts are pretty much identical except for height. I still have to add a few more blocks to the main mast before I can start rigging. One thing I would do differently is make my own solid wood mast heads, as the plywood ones tend to chip and aren’t as strong. I still haven’t installed the pin rail for the foremast, I will either make the pins or order them.
  23. Isaiah
    I agree with Patrick, you’re not too far away from completion so finish the galleon. then your next build will feel much more straight forward and organised.
  24. Isaiah
    Thanks Steven, With enough force it came loose by itself. the topgallent mast is now straight. on to the main mast.
  25. Isaiah
    I have assembled the foremast and is just sitting in place at the moment with no varnish. the construction was straight forward with not too much difficulty, I think I’ve done everything correct. I don’t know if you can see but the Topgallent mast is leaning back slightly on the lateral axis. As soon I assembled with glue and looked back to make sure it was square it was too late. The glue had already taken hold. I will have to remove it somehow. I also textured the mast to make it look less like a machined dowel, and more like an actual mast, since I used the lathe method of tapering and shaping. I will continue on and start the assembly of the main mast.

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.
