    So, after more then 3 years I can tell you that the rigging is done.... Not the total build because there are a few things that has to be done like.....hammock netting ( yep, still to do ) anchors and lanterns. But as it goes in the whole build now and then an update. Don't ask me where all those ropes are going.....I don't know it anymore. I have done the best I can do with it. At the end it looks like spaghetti and all the time the hands are in the way. I had the feeling that tying blocks will never come to an end. Even at the last drawing I have to make blocks. I think it is to difficult to show it in the first drawings..... I try to put all the ropes on there own position but even that was not possible. The belaying pins are that small that I can not put an hair around it ! I try because you don't see the difference with my grey hair or the grey rope But i'm satisfied with it. Then rest me only one thing and that are pictures. Sjors

    Sean, You have done something that is almost impossible. Augie was a master of modelling and you are at the same level as he was. I know he will look from above and agree with me that no one could finish his work as you did! I take my hat of for both of you. With tears in my eyes i admire the confed. Thanks for all that you have done for Augie and all of us here on MSW. It's a beauty and give her a nice place at your home. Sjors

    Hi Mr. Pucko. When i see the planking of you with that bamboo then i'm happy that i use planks from my Aggy. There is a lot of work for you what about filling and sanding..... But i have faith in you that you bring it to a good end. Sjors

    Thanks for the visit my friends ( and the likes) Still busy with the standing rigging ( almost finished with that) And now i have seen a few problems... Maybe my mistake or the drawings are that clear. Next week i will make a phone call to Hennie to see if he has the same problem ( or solution) Sjors

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.
