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!

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.

Mediaeval Shipwreck found in England
druxey replied to Louie da fly's topic in Nautical/Naval History
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.

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.

Are you able to rig in your sleep by now, Rob? Beautiful work, as ever.

Re-dos: The mark of a true model-maker. Good on you, Bob! You'll be glad you revised the rigging. There should be a little stretch in the shrouds to allow you to align them.

To prevent 'hourglassing' the shrouds due to over-tightening ratlines, do every fifth ratline first, then every third and lastly the remaining ones. It's easier to control the tension that way.

Well done, Bob. Those home-made eyebolts look fine.

Good for you doing that surgery, Marc. If you make an angled bend at the corner of the beakhead bulkhead, would that not give a straight run to the back of the figure?

And I thought that the yard was seen from behind so that the stirrups were correctly hung! Well, what do I know? Nice anchor stocks. Are they the right way around? Now I doubt all that I see.

Rob, I hate to cavil (groan), but the lay of your rope on the deckhouse looks very loose.

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.
