    You could try using a low coffee table or similar. I hate the idea of a stack of boards falling on your model!

    Might I suggest using pewter, not lead? Lead will deteriorate to lead salts over time. And that would be a pity on such a terrific model.

    A lathe is certainly not needed! There are a number of logs on this site where various methods of making anchors are shown. Just because the original was iron, it doesn't mean that you have to smith your anchors. Wood or plastic painted are valid solutions.

    It could just have been a convenient short cut. Something none of us ever do, right?

    This is good news, both for herself as well as for us!

    Nicely rendered, Bob. Now, get those dishes done!
  7. druxey
    Very nice and neat work.

    Again, beautifully rendered, Waldemar.

    Hah! Another rabbit hole that you are going down, Alan. Next it will be a back staff, then an octant....

    A well spun yarn and rope, SHJ!

    Looking very respectable, Bob!

    I'm sure your surgical skills are precise enough Mark! Your model is looking very nice indeed. And yes, it is much easier to correct projection in one plane at a time.

    I would diplomatically disagree with Marquandt if you are referring to an English ship. Pin racks are the term used by Steel. Very nice work, Greg.

    A lot of moving parts to keep track of and to coordinate! Devil's advocate here: Could you cut off the aft end decorative scroll and horse's head and reattach it slightly further down the head rails? Then it would not rise quite as high as at present. Feel free to ignore me, Marc!

    Aiiee! What a job to create all those containers. Nicely done. Did you consider making a single master and casting the rest of them?

    Two interesting items you've shown, Ron: that 'Quad hand' looks very helpful; and the dusting powders, which also look very effective. Thanks for bringing these to our attention.

    Stropping small blocks is not easy! Looks like you did well, Toni.

    Beautifully rendered, as usual! My reaction to the red anchors was the same as Ab's - even before reading his response. Surface rust.

    Lots to be learned from this wreck when it is studied! Thanks for posting this, Steven.

    Visiting this thread is always a pleasure, Rob! Obviously with such a vast quantity of rigging, time management and work flow becomes important.
  21. druxey
    Ah, yes: The joys and frustration of projection drawings.
  22. druxey
    Royce's lathe? That must be quite a story! I like the elasticized clips on the frame for stretching material. If you had a greater number of clips around the periphery, it would take care of the ripples when the fabric is wetted.

    Enjoying seeing your progress,SHJ!
  24. druxey
    Is there a possibility that a line was rigged from the main yardarm to swing the boat outboard sufficiently to clear the boom?
  25. druxey
    Such neat splices! Beautifully done, Johann.

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.
