    Hi everyone. Progress has been slow,but I have got the fore & main sails rigged(except for the tacks). The mizzen topsail is done also. Now I need to make a bunch of rope coils to hang on the belaying points before adding the lateen yard due to space to get my hands in getting limited . Thanks for looking in. Mark

    Hi Bob - welcome to the forum from your neighbor to the north in Iowa! You will find the members here very helpful if you encounter a problem or need advice. Mark

    Beautiful work,B.E. Mark

    All good advice - as far as seeing a doctor,don`t bother. You are becoming what`s known as a "shipaholic" like most of us here. there is no known cure,so just go with it. Mark

    Thanks OC. The close-ups really show how bad the sail material is - looks more like burlap than cloth. Mark

    update - topmast sails almost done. Main & fore sails started. Getting hard to get my hands in around the belaying points - my next ship will not have sails! Mark

    Simplified,yes - I was only referring to this particular ship,not the evolution of sail configurations. Mark
  32. marktiedens
    You are correct - the lower mizzen yard is only used to hold the lower corners of the mizzen topsail. Very nice job you are doing,by the way! Mark

    Hi everyone. Haven`t posted for a while due to being tied up with house stuff. I have,however,got the topgallant yards & sails rigged along with attaching the topmast yards. Not perfect,but I think it passes the galloping horse test. Thanks for looking in! Mark

    Hi - I was also getting some bad reactions with regular CA. Then I found this at my local hobby shop - it`s odorless & seems to have no bad fumes. It`s even safe for foam. Since I started using this all the bad reactions went away. It`s a bit pricey,but worth it to me to be able to use it with no bad reactions. It seems to hold just as good as "regular" CA,plus it takes a couple of seconds more to grab,giving you a little more time to position things. It says eye irritant on the label,but it doesn`t seem to bother me. A 2 ounce bottle will run about 30$ - A 1ounce bottle a bit less. It`s made by Bob Smith Industries in California. Mark

    Wow,that`s a lot of fiddly work! Mark

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.
