    In our office pharmacy we use a pill counting app on our cell phones. It works great for similar sized pills (or objects). You obviously wouldn't use it for small groups but for packages of >10 it might be a useful app.

    Here's a jig that can be made out of heavy card or aircraft ply. It's not my design but solves the spacing problem between the deadeyes.

    Now that’s a Pegasus! Very impressive Giampiero. I note on the Swan plan and other contemporary figureheads the presence of stippling on the small uncarved section under the belly and legs. I think it adds texture and visual interest. Did you notice this feature?

    These belaying pins are fabulous! The 1/4" ones are perfectly proportioned and fit a #66 hole. Note - most commercially available belaying pins have very fat handles. Chuck has just saved me hours of work. And adding thimbles to his store would be equally amazing as the commercially made brass ones are no longer available (Crafty Sailor).

    Your model is very lovely so far. Your concept of rigging the lower yards only with the top masts lowered and mostly derigged is reminiscent of illustrations I’ve seen off these ships in their winter configurations. Perhaps consider not gluing in the masts. Once you’ve added the shrouds, stays and back stays they are almost impossible to move but minor adjustments may be made by adjusting the standing rigging (just like the real vessel).

    Mine goes from 23" to 50". You can set the high and low with a memory button. This will prevent me from impailing my mainmast into a ceiling tile.

    Very sorry to hear of your recent losses Ab. If we live long enough this becomes inevitable I suppose. Your model is quite lovely. You have a very discernable style which produces simple elegant models.

    I just bought this FlexiSpot E7 and it's phenomenol. I bought the cheaper version and applied my own top. It is motorized and smooth as silk.

    I'm happy that you've created a new view of Doris's work. Though I suspect shee is done with ship model making her work deserves to be preserved gere forever as a resource. I would hate to lose it if some sort of crash occured.

    Your work is truely inspirational Johann. Could you have worked the thimbles into the pendants prior to installing them under the shrouds?
  31. dvm27
    The problem with such meticulous work is that the joint is barely visible when completed. Lovely work!

    While watching your video and your bowsprit problem I was going to suggest checking the stieve of your bowsprit vs. the plan. But you came up with this on your own. Your solution worked out well though. You could have worked in a set of beams on either side afore beam #1 but it will be hidden so not really an issue. You mentioned the "as built home plan" vs the architect's original plan. I'm sure you're aware that many ships plans were labelled "as built" and differed from the original plans as well, likrly for the same reasons.

    Hemostats, by nature, are designed to securely hold and crush tissue for hemostasis. The box section is rivited and there is no way to modify it for a looser grip (that would defeat their purpose). While I've not used them for ship model making you may want to try Doyen intestinal forceps. They have longitudinal groves designed to hold tissue but not damage it. As an example https://universalsurgical.com/product/doyen-forceps/. I think the 7" version might work well for your needs.

    Well done, Kevin! That's some tricky fitting.

    Love Leo's build and yours as well. I'll bet if you e-mailed Leo he would send you a piece of timber you could incorporate into the hull. I have corresponded with him in the past and he is indeed as nice as he seems

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.
