    Wow, you certainly churn these out. The finished product always looks first class. You need to share your secret!

    Good progress Robin. Ratlines are time consuming. Watered down PVA glue is fine for securing the ratlines. I like to get them all square and evenly spaced before committing to glue. Just protect your deck from any splashes!

    Your approach to the tuck worked well. Looks good with a coat of varnish.👍

    Sorry to hear about your broken fingers, hope you are on the mend. You are on the right track using an electric drill/screwdriver to help shape the yards. Just take your time avoiding putting too much pressure on the yard arm nearest the screwdriver chuck. Once you get the taper close to where you want it, just proceed by hand using sandpaper.

    Andrew, Sorry to hear about your health, hope you are on the mend. Please take care of yourself. I am sure the warmer weather is just around the corner, and you will be back in your shipyard soon. 😁

    Looking forward to this build, popcorn at the ready. 🍿

    Good save!

    Really taking shape now, Robin. We have all been there with snapped drill bits. It’s fun digging them out 😡 The fine bits cannot take a lot of lateral pressure. Apparently HSS bits are stronger than the tungsten carbide ones, although the former are more expensive. You should be able to source suitably sized walnut dowel to replace the stock you used on the pumps.In the UK Cornwall Model Boat stocks various sizes. I am sure you will find somewhere closer to home.

    Glenn, Ouch!! Paul’s tubing idea made me think that you could “fish” the mast and call it a battle damage repair!
  32. Craigie65
    That is a serious piece of kit!
  33. Craigie65
    Excellent job on the second planking, nice symmetry to your work.
  34. Craigie65
    Gorgeous!
  35. Craigie65
    Ah historical accuracy, it’s a bit of a martinet!

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.
