    Hi Jan, Nice to see a neighbour Cute little ship that you've got there. And what are the measurement of the Sherbourne ? I will see this coming to an end so I crab a seat and will follow you further on.

    Thanks for the comments and likes ! I'm happy that you like it @ Mick, It just the way you want to work. I'll doing it this way, one mast at the time from top to bottom. When I do first all the shrouds , then `i have a lot of ratlines to do. Now I can change my work....shrouds and then ratlines and then shrouds again and ratlines again etc,etc,etc If I have to re-do the shrouds,it's not that much. I hope I answer your question.

    Finally some pictures ! It's busy up there Wayne. Looks like the SI But great rigging job ! And now you have to finish her

    That looks really great Augie, Smooth and a pleasure for the eye...... When do you started planking on my Aggy ?
  8. Sjors
    Very nice shape those parrals. Again mass production ?
  9. Sjors
    Great job John ! Soon at the rigging ?

    Pictures !!!!! Between work I can do something. Placed the upper shrouds and tops deadeyes on the mizzen mast. Make the first ratlines. I can see that I don't have the " touch " again. When all the ratlines are there ,maybe I change this one. All the beginning is difficult......

    When you are working with black shrouds, use a white pencil or a piece of small rope ......
  12. Sjors
    I know Robbyn, I try is myself but for me it is not working. I have find another way. I give the shroud a black dot where the bottom of the deadeye has to come. That works for me So everyone is looking for a way that works the best for that person.
  13. Sjors
    Wow, wow and wow again ! That looks amazing Ulises ! Still one question.....your tops has to be in an angle ????? Nice white rope by the way

    Hi Grant, I've seen and i try it before but that's not working for me....... Because I have enough space around the mast, I can make them on the table and then place them. I have to make a little jig so that they are on the same spot. But thanks anyway !
  15. Sjors
    Hi Jim, I know what you mean.... I think it's just what Grant is saying, these are the little things for the eye that make it looks better. And this ship is never sailing but static ( or in port ) But it is a tricky job to get them on one line.

    Thank you all @ Mark, How can you've bin so busy lately.....you are retired. You should be having all the time in the world to do things But no problem. Thanks for the good words. This is the first time that someone called my build a masterpiece !!!!!!! And yes, I love to work at her. Maybe that's the reason that I don't mind to re-do things. With every new build I want to do things better, more things like serving the ropes where it needs to be served. With the Aggy I go one step further like tree nailing the deck, rigging the cannons and all that kind of stuff We will we see where it all ends !
  17. Sjors
    Thanks for pointing it out that the deadeyes are not good. There are now in one line.
  18. Sjors
    Small update..... Because of work not much time to do anything. The shrouds with deadeyes and lanyards on the mizzen lower part are done..... One side a few ratlines to see how it goes with the futtock stave. On the port side just put the deadeyes on the tops but no picture of that. I first want to finish the shrouds to the futtock stave before I make a picture of that . Be patient what concerns that. A few pictures of how everything looks.
  19. Sjors
    It's gonna get crowd on that deck ! But very good job that you are doing !
  20. Sjors
    Thanks Adriaan Just as Popeye is saying...a little filler, sanding and then the paint job !
  21. Sjors
    Hi Christian, The stern looks great. You did a good job on that !
  22. Sjors
    Hi Matt, You have been busy ! Looks fantastic ! The rigging of the cannons is something that I copy from you for my next build ! ( if you don't mind )
  23. Sjors
    PICTURES !!!!!!! You can say that you finished the bottom planking but I want proof !
  24. Sjors
    Great oven John ! Now for a few blocks of wood and a little ash and nobody knows that you build it
  25. Sjors
    Wow George ! That looks just amazing ! I hope I can do mine that good !

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.
