    I am so sorry to hear Denis.........usually I look in on your projects, but this one seemed to have slipped by my radar. do they know what it is? my fingers are crossed for you.......and your in my thoughts! get well soon my friend!

    superbly done Nils! all those added touches really make her look busy

    thanks Pat, Lawrence, and Nils for the kind comment....and to all who hit the like button it's a small step......I hope to add more to this saga soon
  13. popeye the sailor
    super looking ship's boat Nenad
  14. popeye the sailor
    yea.......kinda like Newton with the apple.......who would have thought
  15. popeye the sailor
    very nicely done Glenn
  16. popeye the sailor
    shrouds look great! really like the way you have them terminated and spaced. good luck with the ratlines.....I agree about the sag.......after all, the shrouds are adjustable and they need the extra room to move {in real application, of course}.
  17. popeye the sailor
    it's called the whisker.......part of the cat head. one remedy I've heard of is with wire. thin wire with eyes soldered on, and then cemented via holes drilled into the end of the cat head, or banded along side of it. you could also get in touch with someone who has a stock pile of these parts.......but that's a long shot {only one person I know of, who would be n that position}. anyway......it's a thought....hope you can get it sorted out
  18. popeye the sailor
    super looking hatch Grant......do the inner guides fold away from the wiring?
  19. popeye the sailor
    great job Frank! she looks super with her sails looking forward in seeing the N.L. build!
  20. popeye the sailor
    super nice job on the long boat! the inner detail you've put into it so far really set it off nicely
  21. popeye the sailor
    sorry Steve for causing you to redo the rat lines......especially when I saw you ended up cutting them. they do look much better now though. super job with the fore and main mast...the standing rigging looks superb
  22. popeye the sailor
    pretty interesting about the bobstays....you would think that with the length of the spirit and boom and the given stress of the rigging, there would at least be a pair or two terminated at the stem. thanks for the info
  23. popeye the sailor
    glad to see your recovering nicely........quite a surgery you had. even with all that went on.......and still produce some stellar updates. she's looking really top notch!
  24. popeye the sailor
    wonderful job on her Jerry........congratz to a job well done!
  25. popeye the sailor
    nice work with that part of the super structure.....came out very good. the PE parts will enhance the model for sure! the reels look great

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.
