    Bow sail is installed and rigged. It's not perfect, but I like the look. And I'm impressed with what I'm learning about rigging sails. It's a logical system allowing the sailors to move the sail in any direction along the mast. Incredibly clever.

    Success. I managed to find a paint that closely matched the existing tint of the sails. Repeated misting of the burnt area, and a final misting of all of the sails got me to a satisfactory match while covering the problem area. I re-stretched/starched the sail with the issue, and re-dried it. I think the results look good. I cleaned up any overspray with a q-tip soaked in acetone.

    Thanks, I'll reconfigure that if I have room!
  15. Tim1786
    I actually ditched the vinyl and covered the inside with mahogany strips, matching the hull of the ship. I think the results are better.
  16. Tim1786
    Thanks, both good ideas.
  17. Tim1786
    Thanks, I agree, but this is for my 86 year old mother, and she expects light sails, so it's more of an aesthetic issue than a historical one. I will take your advise in for the next model, I wasn't aware they were ever any darker than a tea color.

    Ugh. I burnt one of my sails a bit. My plan is to buy some ivory colored paint and mist the sails until the spot is hidden and the sails are all the same color--unless one of you has a better idea!

    I don't think I'll ever forget how to tie a clove hitch..

    All lower ratlines completed.

    Ship update. Putting in ratlines. The graph paper is a guide. Every intersection gets a clove hitch knot. No plastic ratlines for this baby.

    Main Mast is set and drying.
  25. Tim1786
    Bow sprite installed and lashed. All of the mast and yard blocks attached. the frame around the model is part of a jig to set the masts plumb.
  26. Tim1786
    Rr⅘Some details finished in the last few days. Anchors installed, Mayflower emblem painted and installed, Boat installed and lashed down. Working on blocks for masts and yards.
  27. Tim1786
    Added all furniture, except the kit was a few belaying pins short, so they're on order. Working on blocks for the masts.

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.
