Hi Joe, What a lovely vessel you are building ! And so neat and tidy ! Your paint job is fabulous ! Can I take lessons from you ???? I enjoy every picture ! You know , I'm building a model that's a "little" bit bigger then yours But when I see that small stuff, I take my hat off for you ! I will look over your shoulder to see what you are doing further ( if you don't mind ) Sjors

Spanker boom and gaff and spanker sail are on also a few ropes. Now I can move to the main mast and make the yards and all that stuff. Another update can take a while so enjoy this one ( at least I will ) 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

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

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

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.
