Yes Augie, It's another avatar. This is also in a bus but then at Portsmouth when we are there with Mobbsie and Grant And also a little update. The bowsprit has shaped. And dry fit on it. Now it is time to put all the blocks and violin blocks, deadeyes and all that stuff on it. Also placed the figure head. And the last picture of the whole ship with everything on it ( dry fit )

Hi Lawrence, I have two builds going on at the moment. The Agamemnon is still in the box under the workbench. And she stay there till I finished one of the other two.

Augie, Maybe a silly question but do you have to cut out the gun ports out of that beam ???????? You need a chainsaw for that..... Or do I understand things not correctly.

@ Sam, they are thinking that a high ceiling brings the heat and cold up..... But in the summer it is still hot in the house ( flat roof ) and in the winter it is still cold when I don't use the central heater..... But it give me space with the masts..... When I'm at the rigging stage of the top gallant mast, I have to put her on the floor And what you are saying at the other lines is for me Chinees....Sorry. And I mean from the part OSHA ! @ Demonborger, I have seen the Principe De Austurias but i don't no where anymore . It's a lovely ship and I keep a close eye on that one. I hope they bring it also out in the open !

Yesterday evening I was talking with Mobbsie and he tells me that I have to take a look at Cornwall Model boats Aspecially by OcCre. And I can not believe what I see........The San Ildefonso for sale ....... I thought I have something special but not anymore. I think OcCre see the light somewhere. So if anyone wants to build her, now you can do it.

You make everything at one I see…. I don't do that. I finish first all the lower part of the masts with all the holes and blocks. Then I do the shrouds and ratlines. After that I go to the next part of the mast and finish that. Then I make the yards and spars. When I do that all together I think that I not know where everything goes anymore or I place the wrong yards at the wrong place…. And on the drawings I mark all the things I have done with a yellow marker. So I can see if everything is there and don't forget things. It's funny to see that everyone has his own way of building. But you have to do what works for you !

@ Adrieke, We are inviting people over…. When ever you are in the neighbourhood, you are more then welcome ! You should be not the first one. Mobbsie and his Admiral are coming for a few days in November….so please after that when you want to come @ Augie, Still one room available That's a idea , to build the Victory on scale 1:24…. But I think I have to remove Anja to the bathroom….I need then all the space ! @ Ben, Thank you Yes, in the future ( couple of weeks ) again ratlines I don't mind that at all. Almost like it ! @ Pygothian, Do the same what i did. I give my wife ( Anja ) a kit of her own and now she's also a builder…. So we share the room now ( I have a little bit more space ) And now we are using one of the room as shipyard, we can leave everything as it is and walk away without first cleaning the room. When you are building in the living room, you have to clear things up every time when you stopped with the build. And what about the sawdust and smell of glue and paint ? Tell your wife that that is the reason that you need a room of your own @ Dave, Give one of the kids a cabin in the garden and tell her/him that she/he has to live of her/his own Then you have a room of your own !

Hi Jason, I can magnify the pictures and when I do that, I don't believe that you are shaping and painting that wood. I think it comes strait out of the box, painted and all ! Unbelievable neat and shapely …….

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.
