    Every little bit you manage is a delight to see, Toni! John
  2. Jim Lad
    Yes, I too am wondering why you're going to the trouble of rigging deadeyes when you don't have a deck on as yet. John
  3. Jim Lad
    Looks like you're making nice progress on your Arethusa! John
  4. Jim Lad
    Pete, It should work well providing it's thin enough for scale. Remember that you tug's hull plates would probably only have been 1/4 or 3/8 inch thick. John
  5. Jim Lad
    That ought to keep them firmly in place, mate! John
  6. Jim Lad
    Geoff, Your anchor cable should definitely be of rope for this period. The circumference of the cable should be 0.62 the diameter of the mainmast. John
  7. Jim Lad
    Well done, Ollie! By the time your internet is fully operational again I suppose that boat will be finished! John
  8. Jim Lad
    Looks like you're getting the 'hang' of the gallows, mate! John
  9. Jim Lad
    Aha! A little more progress here! John
  10. Jim Lad
    It's great to see your 'Newsboy' back here, Peter. John
  11. Jim Lad
    Pretty much ready to rock and roll, Kats! John
  12. Jim Lad
    Yes, the stripe looks really good, mate! John
  13. Jim Lad
    Delightful blacksmithing, Augie. She's looking 'top drawer.' John
  14. Jim Lad
    A beautiful schooner that will make a beautiful model. John
  15. Jim Lad
    Your trained spiders are doing a great job there, Grant! John
  16. Jim Lad
    Aha! Genuine sawdust! Now you're really moving, Mark. John
  17. Jim Lad
    Lovely, Danny! When does the carving start? John
  18. Jim Lad
    Nearly there, Tom. She's looking great! John
  19. Jim Lad
    Just catching up, Remco - she's looking absolutely first class John
  20. Jim Lad
    Good to see that you have a converted (and convertible) workspace getting close to go, Kats! John
  21. Jim Lad
    Well, that certainly looks to part, Danny! John
  22. Jim Lad
    That gun has turned out very well indeed, Piet! John
  23. Jim Lad
    Sorry, Ollie, I forgot to attach the picture of the carronade! I think we all expected various buildings in Cooktown to loose their roofs, but looking at that photo, it seems the town has got off a lot lighter than was expected, which is excellent news. John
  24. Jim Lad
    Beautiful wood colour contrast there, Danny - and not a bad bit of cabinet work, as well! John
  25. Jim Lad
    Ollie, Eamonn has given you good advice. The tackle should be rigged as shown in this photo of a carronade on the Trincomalee. The line is spiced to the strop on the single block; through the first sheave of the double block; back through the sheave of the single block and then back through the second sheave of the double block. You can also see that the blocks are 'hook blocks' - attached by hooks for easy removal and re-positioning - you can get away with simple attachments to the rings. 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.
