    Did some work on the lower port side shrouds and even some rat lines. Made a few blocks.

    Spent most of the day making kingposts and dead eyes etc and added shrouds to rear mast. After rigging the port side shrouds to the channels and chains, I thought good but after a few hrs I felt something was wrong. Then sadly I noticed the channel dead eyes were wrong. Grrrrrrr. Need to redo them. Wasted time.

    Another evening has come. Decks almost compleated, need more furnishings then on to the more tedious work….rigging and making deadeyes and blocks. Someone still using the head.😜
  22. JimO
    Still working on the decks, main deck laid , forecastle deck laid as is the poop deck. Need to make some deck furnature etc. but some stowaway is using the port head.
  23. JimO
    Guns and port hole covers on, working om decks and a wee bit of rigging.

    Yet another day done. Short time spent finishing gun port hatches. Cut some dowel for yard arms and tied them up to see what they would look. My Airfix 1:35 scale Ferret Scout Car finally arived after over a month. May take a ship break and do the ferret turretless version that I drove and later commanded back in the mid to late 70s.
  25. JimO
    So ends another day but not a lot done. Made some hatch rope. Adding ropes to gun port covers and then install.

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.
