  13. Sjors
    Thanks Sam and Ferit ! @ Sam, When I can do it you can do it also.... Don't disappoint me please @ Ferit, There are totally about 21 sails on it..... So it's gonna take a while before all the sails are on it. And how about your build ? Maybe in the future we can see something from you ? Sjors
  14. Sjors
    Tony, I know it all ready..... Anja told me this afternoon all ready... I have to change it tomorrow ! But thanks.... @ Mark, I have put on the topsail and the royal sail.... But below that it's only the yard. But thanks for the explanation about the low yard. No sails on it Only the mizzen because the others have it. Sjors
  15. Sjors
    I shall tell you Augie..... They all ready make in the box Only the ropes that you need when you furled the sails, I have make them......( reef points ) Sjors
  16. Sjors
    I will do that Piet Sjors
  17. Sjors
    Update time ! Am I on the right log ???? yep ! The first two sail's are on it The Mizzen royal sail and the Mizzen topgallant sail. Attention please.....only the sails ! Not the rigging of that... I know I should do furled sails but I found out that I have a few more sails then I thought. There are also stay sails ( never knew that that exist ) So, the Fonz gonna have full sails ! Also the spanker boom and gaff are done. That one gonna have the sails ( I hope ) this weekend otherwise next week. Picture below all this nonsens... Then ( yes there he is again ) question. On the mizzen mast there is no Mizzen topsail. There is the yard and that's it ! Does anyone knows why ???????? Sjors
  18. Sjors
    Piet and Theo, Thank you both !!!!! @ Piet, You are always welcome.... My house is your house and when you are gone it will be mine again Theo shows me a good way to do it ! @ Theo, Thanks !!!!!!! Maybe you find the way how I should do it ! So please, let the pictures where they are. It's not only for me but also for others...... I will use that when I'm gonna do the rudder. That can take a few months because I wanted to finished the Fonz first...... @ Augie , Welcome home and you see, I keep my promise....finish the copperplates before you are back Thanks for the good words my friend ( I'm happy that you are back again....(missed you ! ) Sjors
  19. Sjors
    Very nice Mark ! It looks a little like the Arc of Triumph.....( or a rose arch ) Sjors
  20. Sjors
    The lost one is back ! Welcome home Augie !! Sjors
  21. Sjors
    Jason, You just understand what I'm saying Also for me it's to difficult to bend those plates, just what you are saying also. I don't get an edge of 90 degrees. So I'm happy with it and I keep it this way For the rudder itself ,I'll do the same thing. Only where the hinges are coming , I paint it the copper colour.... Otherwise I've got problems with those hinges ( if that's the correct word for it ) Sjors
  22. Sjors
    Very nice again Bob ! Please be careful with that bowsprit and boom under it. It's easy to break such thing ! Sjors
  23. Sjors
    That's not bad at all Larry ! When you are doing a little bit of sanding and then stain on it, I think there will be not much difference between the planks. And just what Russ is saying....no deck was ever perfect ! Sjors
  24. Sjors
    Thanks Popeye, On the rudder post I have put them vertical . Not the rudder it self Also at the bow post. I just leave it that way. I never get a clean cut when I place that also horizontal. Sjors
  25. Sjors
    Congrats Randy ! You can be proud of her !!!!!! Give her a nice place and admire her every day..... You've done it ! Sjors

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.
