    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.
  5. druxey
    Ah, yes: The joys and frustration of projection drawings.

    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!

    Is there a possibility that a line was rigged from the main yardarm to swing the boat outboard sufficiently to clear the boom?
  9. druxey
    Such neat splices! Beautifully done, Johann.

    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.

    Do read the planking articles posted on this site!

    Sorry to read of your health issues, Dan. Hopefully you will be able to shake the last symptoms off soon. Nice forensic work using those photographs. Take care of yourself first!
  14. druxey
    Nice result, Greg.
  15. druxey
    Nice progress. Ron.

    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.
  18. druxey
    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?
  19. druxey
    Just catching up with your work. Superb rendering!
  20. druxey
    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.
  21. druxey
    Rob, I hate to cavil (groan), but the lay of your rope on the deckhouse looks very loose.
  22. druxey
    Looking great, Giampiero. You are as adept with metal as you are with wood!
  23. druxey
    Looking quite delightful in its setting!
  24. druxey
    Certainly British Naval gun carriages were not iron shod: only land-based guns were. Whether the French did the same, I do not know.
  25. druxey
    Ye gads! That looks like a medieval torture instrument, Kevin. It should simply scare the plank into shape! Ingenious.

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.
