    Thank you Mattie and Nigel for looking in and your kind comments..... Just a quick update as to where I'm at,( no pictures at this time, sorry Sjors!) I don't want anyone to think I've abandoned ship ......... it's been awhile since I've posted any progress..... All I have left to do on the rigging is to tie off the port side fore mast back stays , then I'm finished with the rigging. this I plan to do today :D :D . The only things left to do will be adding some misc. features and reinstalling the cat heads.When that's finished then I'll post some finished pictures . My thanks to everyone here for all the help I've received to put this together. Frank

    Good idea of Augies, those keel holders on the Amati are movable so you should be able to put enough pressure where needed.

    If there is no correct way of correcting this , I'd do like you do when you go to the gas station... "filler up"

    Hey Wayne,Almost forgot how nice those older kits were without the pre-cut parts. Half the fun of making the kit was cutting out the parts and finishing them to fit.That's when kit builders needed a scroll saw. Mine just sits on a bench now out in the garage just waiting to sink its teeth into some 5mm ply Frank
  23. riverboat
    Good luck on your new build Wayne...... looks like a nice kit, back in the day they were one of the best. 3 builds going huh?............. ( I think you caught "Popeyebuilditice" ) Frank
  24. riverboat
    GREAT!! work Augie..... too bad the Broncos didn't take a look at your build before game time, it certainly would have given them some inspiration..... ( to WIN ) I was hoping to see them win...... but it turned out to be a most embarrassing day . Next year!! :D 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.
