    An interesting looking sailing vessel. John

    Thanks, mate. Ratlines on the 'Duchess' are made more interesting by the fact that she has 6 staves across the shrouds before the rope ratlines begin. Lashing them to the shrouds is such fun! John

    Things are progressing. I now have the mizzen staysails rigged and the fore topgallant and royal braces rigged up through their lead blocks ready to attach to their yards. This was necessary as I needed to get the brace whips rigged before I start on the square sails on the mainmast. I've also started on the fore ratlines. This will be an intermittent job in between the rigging of the mainmast, but at least I've made a start on them. John

    The only problem I have with this model is that it's on the other side of the world and i can't see it in person! Thank goodness we have the forum so that we can still enjoy other members models! John

    Greg, this is worse than rigging a sailing ship model! 😀 John

    That's an unusual configuration - having both right and left handed propellers on the same side of the ship. John

    Sometimes we simply need to follow the traditional Nike trademark - Just do it! John

    Hang in there, Keith. remember, if it does come to surgery, the surgeons have had another five years' experience to make them even better! John

    Any photos of the 'Duchess' are helpful, mate, even at this late stage! 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.
