Hi Ferit, Yes, the rope is grey/beige and a little shiny. Bit the picture makes it more shiny then it is. And that you missed the Mirage is no problem. Things happened when you are building 2 ship at the same time. I have for the ratlines 3 parts on the main mast and fore mast….2 parts at the mizzen mast and 1 part at the bowsprit... So, a lot of ratlines…..

The shrouds are re-done…... It's not perfect on the seizing and it need some cutting on the wires but I let it stay this way. I see the Mirage as a learning build for the rigging of the San Ildefonso. I can not do the foremast yet because I need some chains and deadeyes because they are broken. For the San Ildefonso I also need chains for the deadeyes. The ones that are provide by OcCre are just terrible so I have to order new ones. But that is for later. So the San Ildefonso is on the shelf again. When I go further at her I have to ships at the same time to do the rigging. Now I can switch a little. Rigging the Mirage and making the masts for the San Ildefonso. And of course a few pictures……. Tomorrow I can start on the ratlines….a few of them !

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.
