    Chris, The kit didn't tell me to glue the shroud lines to the bulwark. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was an accident. I couldn't get the shroud lines to glue to the deck. I have a fair number of tools. I do small woodworking. But maybe I'll have to get rigging-specific tools. I want to do the two other Columbus ships, but that won't be until spring of 2027. The idea of installing the eyebolts to the shroud lines before installation is mine, not the kit maker's. I thought of that after I was done with the kit. Have you ever used the tweezers with teflon ends? Could they work? Or is that just a gimmick? Best regards, Dan

    First time I built model from established kit. Felt a bit lonely. Eyebolts and "walls" installed before shrouds installed. A. Are we supposed to build in instruction order, or should we think ahead about these things., and think the construction through to the en Very difficult to attach shroud lines to eyebolts with "walls" attached. I even cut a "window" in the "wall" to help to thread the shroud lines through the eyebolts. This did not work, so I cut off the eyebolts and tried to glue the shroud lines to the deck. This did not work either. B. If we are supposed to build in instruction order, is there a tool (besides tweezers) to help in this situation C. Can we attach the shroud lines to the eyebolts, then attach the eyebolts to the deck? Dan I Somerville, MA, USA I

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.
