    time for an update........ I've been adding blocks and rope to the yards and was starting to get a little frustrated .... I guess most of us know how that goes..... so i decided to post my whereabouts on my build ........ nothing fancy goin on. just the finishing of the mast tops and yards...... thanks for looking in..... Mast tops completed yards completed That's it.... Like I said nothing real exciting but it brings yo up to date .. I'll follow up with another update as soon as I finish installing all the blocks to the yards. Thanks again Frank

    Hi Mark,....... You are undoubtedly a very intelligent person, seeing as how far you have gone testing this piece of equipment. I was actually lost after you took it out of the box ...... My concern for you is MM's knowledge of their own product??? For them to send out a piece of goods with components not installed properly is terrible at best. ( considering the cost) ...... so to be honest with you, I really don't think you're goin to get much help from their tech dept.I don't know how bad you really need, or want this machine , but if it were me , I definetly would save my money and get a better machine. It seems there's an awful lot of "Googling" going on for the MM machine . Have Fun!!!! Frank

    Hi Bryan..... you're moving right along, just wondering , do you have all the blocks attached to the masts. It looks as though some might be missing. You might want to look at all the plan sheets concerning the standing and running rigging. If you missed any nows the time to attach them, later will be very difficult . The reason I bring this up is, it looks like there should be two blocks at the very top of each mast, just ck it out to be on the safe side. Have Fun!!! Frank

    You do nice work Mark, so don't sweat it..... it's just a model! 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.
