Small update....... main sail attached to mast. this one I had to cut down some, I wish I had left a liitle more sail to work with on the top, well anyway it's done. Just have to attach a couple more blocks to the deck then then I can start the standing rigging, This ought to be fun.... they did'nt include a belaying plan .... To be honest,I do'nt have the slightest idea where half of them tie off..... so there might be some confusion goin on in the near future Thanks for looking in......... frank

Time out for a little update.......... I,m starting to attach the mizzen and main mast sails.... the first one finished is the mizzen. the sail was a little big so I had to cut it some... unlike the yard sails that are reduced a third of their size , these are full , I thought it would be a little difficult leaving them full lenght and width, but as it turned out at least the mizzen did'nt come out too bad. I soaked it up pretty good with the glue mixture so hopefully it'll set OK . Here I'm marking were the rings will atacg to the sail the furl is complete just letting it dry up some temporarily set on deck This last one shows zip sizeings being made Thanks for ooking in Frank

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.
