    Looking good, Paul. I especially like that photo taken from astern. John

    Nothing extra special about it, Dave. Like all such pieces of rigging just a length of rope of the correct size to suit the job. John

    Looking very slick, Paul. John

    I agree with Keith. Your choices would seem to be: leave the area alone, destroy the decoration, carve the decoration deeper to preserve it while sanding. John

    Jeff, spending the rest of your life tying little knots is one of the joys of rigging a large sailing ship! Actually, clove hitches are very quick and easy to tie and will help your model to look really authentic. Tension on the shrouds shouldn't be a problem as the ratlines are slightly slack and don't pull on the shrouds. John

    That photo was taken from one of the boats. The ship isn't moving very fast in the light breeze and if you look closely, you can see a line leading back from the whisker boom - no doubt a painter to make sure the boat didn't get left behind. John

    That looks very nice, indeed. John

    Bruma, this link to a photo of the 'Cutty Sark' taken in Sydney during her working days may be of use to you. It's from a glass plate negative, so is very fine grained and can be enlarged quite a bit. John State Library Victoria - CUTTY SARK (slv.vic.gov.au)

    Coming along beautifully, Keith. I think I like the idea of slicing off those hex. nuts. 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.
