Very neat rigging, Siggi. John -
A nice bit of complex construction on that deckhouse, Phil. John

Thank you for your comments and concern, gentlemen. I must say I'm looking forward to a bit of a break - this has been a much bigger project than I had first imagined, and I've been putting a lot of time in. As for the upcoming treatment, it's akin to pulling up a single weed roots and all before it can grow into a whole garden of weeds. Side effects should be minimal and each days treatment is short, but having to be at the hospital during the day means (obviously) that I can't be at the museum. The 'Duchess' will wait patiently in her temporary case. John.

That double winch looks like it will be a lot of fun to make, Phil. John

Another small update. The mizzen upper topsail is now rigged (apart from the halliard), so only 3 more square sails to go and then the 3 sails on the jigger. Of course, there's still a mass of work to do on he after all the sails are on, but at least she'll look more or less like a complete ship then. This will probably be the last update for some time. We're off on holiday next week and then I'm up for daily medical treatment for some time after that so that will stop me getting to the museum for a while. John

My 'go to' awl is an Edwardian era ladies hat pin that I picked up in a junk shop years ago. Works a treat and the decorative bead end feels good in the hand. 🙂 John John

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.
