    Anchors done (only 2) and all the rigging done too! That concludes this adventure 🙂 It was a great kit to make, very diverse, high quality, I enjoyed every minute of it. I am also quite pleased with the result, it's not perfect I know and I have some points to improve for the next ship. What I really need to tell myself more often is not to hurry and go slowly. It doesn't matter if the build takes 2 weeks more, but taking your time greatly improves quality and reduces frustration imo. Some pictures then...

    Ziet er goed uit!! (looking great 😉 ) But yes, the lovely weather is a bit of an issue here as well...

    I was wondering about blocks for my next ship indeed, I'm not going to change them on my Flirt, I've nearly finished her (pics soon ish) But the new standard blocks from Chris look already better?

    Looking great! It's a lot of rigging yes 😉

    The question is; is there a Nelson's ship coming? 😉

    I'm liking this a lot actually ☺️ Shame there's only 2 masts 😉

    Really appreciated B.E. thanks. Not quite your level yet, but I'm getting there 😉

    More rigging and still not done 😊 But getting close now

    Looking great! Some of these riggers here are insanely good indeed yes 😉

    Is that second planking really thin? like veneer?
  11. wvdhee
    I like it, nice subject.
  12. wvdhee
    Ah that makes sense now indeed! Thanks a lot 😃

    Small question... in the plans is shown that these "A lines" start at a block.... And in the photos in the instruction manual there is indeed a stopper knot on one side of the blocks. I am more than happy to do that as well, but what is really the point or purpose of this?
  14. wvdhee
    File the edges, paint them black and they look perfect imho.
  15. wvdhee
    I'll do more cannons on the next 😉
  16. wvdhee
    More rigging 🙂 Still a lot to do, also cleaning up and some ropes I want to redo, but here she is, close to seaworthyness 😉 And I really will do some proper photos soon, but you know how it goes, no time cause stays to attach
  17. wvdhee
    And great photography too! I got so much to learn still ...
  18. wvdhee
    It really does change it a lot yes, gives it 'volume' and presence 😊
  19. wvdhee
    Looking great and enjoy yourselves! 😃
  20. wvdhee
    Yards on the fore mast And that's all for now 😉

    Bit of bowsprit rigging... I'm liking this a lot to be honest 😃 slowly but surely.
  22. wvdhee
    Nothing wrong with using pins for first planking imho.
  23. wvdhee
    Ummagumma!!
  24. wvdhee
    That was just a proposal on how to add bulwarks to the quarter deck and for castle no? Sphinx never had that if I'm correct.
  25. wvdhee
    It is yes, very hard forged steel. It stays sharp for a long time and I'm sharpening it with water stones. Again, no power tools 😉

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.
