    Jotika Victory Mast Question On plan sheet 6, topgallant mast, front elevation, there appear to be 2 holes drilled through the mast: one immediately above the 4 mm square section and one below the upper, tapered octagon. Are through holes also required on the fore and mizzen topgallants, or, for that matter, any other mast section? Since I am constructing the masts from square stock, it would be eas1er to drill anyrequired through holes on a flat surface prior to shaping. Some more detail on the sheave assembly construction would also be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Bill Lell Birmingham, Alabama

    I suggest you GOOGLE "Instrument Ties" There are a number of video hits showing how to tie knots in tight places using surgical instruments and a small amount of thread. Really all you need is a couple of readily available hemostats. A little practice and you will tie knots like a surgeon. Good luck Bill Lell Birmingham, Alabama

    Beautiful work! Before you rig, do not forget to rotate that right deadeye (seen in the deadeye close-up) so the triangle points down. Really instructive build with great photos. Bill Lell

    Dennis You are creating another masterpiece every bit as nice as your outstanding HMS Victory. Remind me where you got your blocks. All the best, Bill Lell Vestavia Hills, Alabama

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.
