    Augie, I don't know it also what is "official" Maybe someone else can give the answer? But at different builds with those tops, are black. So I will do the same. And for the planking is all ready to late…. Otherwise I have to remove everything and that is one ting I don't want to do that ! I like it the way it fits now.

    Thank you all that you like what I'm doing. @ Mick, I have only those three. That's enough, how many do you have ? @ Popeye, If I begins with the Aggy, then it is also wood and not rigging Even if some builders are thinking that I work on her…… @ Patrick, I think the ratlines are still far away. I have found out that the masts on the top are squire….. And it take some time to do that. @ Randy, That's the reason I have two builds. If I have enough of the rigging, I go to wood working. I only has to be careful that I'm not with this one also at the stage of the rigging….. If it is, then I have to ships at the same level and both rigging. @ Augie, Good question, On the manual they are saying that I have to plank the tops. But when I look at other builds, they are all black painted. Also the part of the mast that goes to the mast gap. So I'll be following that. I think that it looks better. I don't do varnish or paint at the masts. It's a nice difference then…… The masts stays sappily wood.

    Thanks Mobbsie and Grant, @ Mobbsie, I'm glad that i have a drill for doing the holes…..if I have to do it by hand, it was to much @ Grant, So these things are calling tops….. And it's indeed a pleasant change from the rigging. That's why I'm doing it

    A little update with pictures… I'm working on the platforms for the masts. On the left , mizzen mast finished. Middle , main mast platform 1/2 way. On the right, fore mast platform still need to be done. I have to paint it and drilling the holes for the cross feet. But now you can see that I doing something…

    He Nick, I'm glad that I see you again. How is life with the two young ones ???? They are eating all your time I think…… I'll be waiting for your update ! Only I can not learn from you anymore @ Shaz, Thank you that you believe me ! You can hear the echo of the Aggy….that's correct ! When I open the box for the unbelievers, she was thinking that I gonna start at her…… Sorry for her, but she stay still in the box ! But I'm happy that a few builders believe me.

    That's an idea Popeye….. Sending it to you. But I think that the shipping cost are to high for me So I'll do it by myself ( if you don't mind of course )
  8. Sjors
    I know how you feel Adriaan. That's why I'am driving the bus ! Always a seat available
  9. Sjors
    Let me see…. The Harriet Lane is on the corner. The books are on the box. There is a ship with no planking. To what ship I'm watching now ??? I don't know it anymore

    Popeye, It's not that bad that i see ratlines in my dreams…. I only see two finished ships When I have done the shrouds and ratlines of the San Ildefonso, I go back to the mirage…… And when those two are finished, maybe , and I say maybe, I go to the Aggy !
  11. Sjors
    Hi Robert, That planking looks very good. If you don't see it anymore, we know that it is there !
  12. Sjors
    Adriaan, I like the part…travel with a bus And you are getting tired from sitting in a bus ?????? Strange people those Belgium who are moved to Down Under
  13. Sjors
    Thanks Aldo ! It's a "little" different then the Le Mirage In a few weeks back at the ratlines again
  14. Sjors

  15. Sjors

    Piet, I have a secret to tell you….. I was borne and raise in Amsterdam I know the Trams very well. Just under mine bedroom window they where passing….with that BIG bell in front ! When we are coming ( don't no when but it's gonna be happening ) to the USA , I let you know !
  18. Sjors

  19. Sjors
    Hi Rich, I thought your name was Rich and not Rach……. Looks good !( the gun ports ) And a nice cutter what Harvey is showing you
  20. Sjors
    That's what I mean Wayne ! Great !!! And thanks JPett for the other one. I think that Wayne makes that one as a screen saver
  21. Sjors
    @ Grant, I want to do something else then the rigging… And how sooner I'm at the ratlines, how better. I have now the feeling how to do it and I want to hold that tight….. The rigging for the Le Mirage will continue but not for now. @ Popeye, You where asking in a previous post about the San Ildefonso ,so I thought I go back to her That a few cannons are in the way, it's not a problem…… I was looking for the best place to put on the chainplates and i think this is it. When there are lanyards in the way , then it is a spare cannon @ Adam, Thank you very much. You give me to much credits. The only thing that I can do is my best and each time it goes better ! If you want to do this ship, I think you have a problem then. She is not at the open market But there are a lot of other decorative and colourful ships for sale. First the masts and then the ratlines again , just love it ! @ Andy, I hold my horses…….bon voyage
  22. Sjors
    Nice progress Mick ! Soon at the ratlines
  23. Sjors
    Very nice Wayne, The view and the ship. A hint for the next time…try to make a picture that way that you don't see the standard….. It looks then if she is in the water
  24. Sjors
    @ Randy, Thank you I leave the Aggy where she is……in the box ! It's nice to do something else then alone rigging. Because the price is out of your range, for you it's free @ Patrick, Thank you also. Yes, I want to do something else then rigging. So a little bit further on the other beauty. I think I gonna start with the masts. Le Mirage is not walking away ( I hope ) @ Augie, Nobody tells you that cotton cannonballs don't course any damages ???? So I have to go around it. @ Andy, You are over reacting I have placed a few updates on the Mirage…. Oke, there al the same, ratlines ! But what will my build log will be without all the side steps? It's the same as a ship without a realworkingsailor
  25. Sjors
    Augie, Can you take for me a close up picture from the treenails? For the rest it looks great ! ( i'm not excepting something else form you )

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.
