    Thanks everyone, Questions has to be answered ,so here we go. @ Lawrence and Augie, I hate it to tell you but we don't need ( or have ) a hairdryer....... And to buy one for only one time.....nope, that's not gonna happened ! We both have hair but not that long ! When I was 18 yes, I needed a hairdryer Hair till my shoulders....... ( the gold old days ) @ Lawrence, I have plenty of space to display her. She can go to the corridor, hobby room ( with all the dust ) or bedroom. I think it's gonna be the last one. But she's not finished yet ! @ Mobbsie, It's difficult to find the way to that jungle. It's looking very carefully where the ropes are going and I have to re-do a lot of ropes.... But that's normal for me @ John, Thank you ! Sails are complicated ! But all the 23 sails are on it now There was a question from Lawrence a while back about the stay sails.....yes I have them and yes, they are on ! Randy, You are not the only one who's confused ! Count me also in please. Maybe it looks easy but I tell you, it isn't !!!!!!! When I start the next rope I have to examine closely the drawing to see where they goes ! Then with your big hands, you have to crawl over and under everything....... @ Adam and John, Thanks !!!!!!! Also thanks for the likes !!!!! It goes fast this way Sjors

    Found you !!!!!! A new project and not an easy one....... So you also take a plunge to the dark side. With your skills it should be not that difficult. I will follow you from now on. Don't ask me things because I don't know what you are doing....I'm just gonna read and watch the pictures. So a lot of pictures please !!!!!!! Sjors

    Yesterday I find a few lost hours..... So I used them to put some more sails on her. The Flying jib, jib and fore mast jib sail are also attach. With all the ropes.... It just looks like spaghetti now And of course a few pictures !!!!!!! Sjors

    Nice forrest Augie, One question...those coloured tooth picks....has that a meaning ???? You give each cannon that colour ????? Sjors
  20. Sjors
    Thanks Frank, I was thinking of furling the sail but then I have only one furled sail. I will keep it this way otherwise I have a lot to change and I just want to finish her and not continue Sjors
  21. Sjors
    I have take another look at the bowsprit sail and when I'm getting them lower, you don't see the figure head anymore. I know it is an ugly lion but it is still a lion ( ugly but ok ) So I keep it this way and thank you again Grant and Augie for such comment. Now I know that my post will get a good look with a magnifier Sjors
  22. Sjors
    Thank you all ! @ Mobbsie, I will continue the way I'll be going....Spanish ! I have to see if I can found a can of shangri-la @ Grant and Augie, I know what you are meaning but I have take a look at the pictures and photo and I have done it the way they show me. A little more up and not vertical.... Maybe at the time they show me this the ship was sailing slowly ????? They don't need those sails at that time ??? @ Bob, Thanks you ! Coming from a great builder like you means a lot to me !!!!! I still do what I can but I think the next time a ship with no sails please ! Wait a minute, the next one has no sails Sjors
  23. Sjors
    The bowsprit sails are on ! Also the rigging. I thought it was easy by the drawings but no, not that easy...... Some ropes are going somewhere and they don't tell you where to go. So I take the book of Peterson next to it. But then....I have a Spanish ship and not English. Can i just imagine that she is captured by the English and re-rigged ? Is this sound strange ? What do you think...... Sjors
  24. Sjors
    Indeed great rigging George !!!! I love the colours on the stern, I'll be copy that Sjors
  25. Sjors
    Nice anchors John. But one question...I never see round bars at the top of the anchor. Is this only for the anchors for the Morgan ? 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.
