    Hi Jim and Mario....... thanks for the encouraging words , I'm fairly pleased with the way the sails came out, considering everything was done by eye. at least they add a little character to the ship !! Frank

    Wow! Sjors, just catching up , she's just beautiful ! I see you've conqured the crows nest, nice job. I'm glad you've decided not to bombard my Supply, after seeing all those guns, you've put the fear of Sjors in me !!! frank

    Hi Patrick...... glad you stopped by....... the addition of the sails seems to have given her a more weathered look .... I bought the fabric at "JoAnn's " fabric and craft store. It's a cotton fabric real light in weight. I thought I still had the receipt but I don't . If you have A Jo Ann's out your way, PM me your address and I'll send you a piece of the fabric, then you can go to the store and they'll help you find it . OK? I'll send you the fabric if you want even if you don't have a JOAnns .That way you can go to some other fabric store if you want. Augie...... Thanks for the boost!! ...... I have the same regards for your Syren..... by the way, you'd better keep your Syren on alert !!!!!!! Sjors...... thank you , thank you , thank you. I was worried there for awhile that I might have to steel plate my Supply to save her from your cottonball bombardment !! Sherry....... always nice hearing from you...... that sail really looks a whole lot bettter being full and attached to the mast. I'm glad I found the Surprise picture to help me..... I see your San Felipe is coming along nicely, keep up the good work. Hi Carl........ Thank You for your nice comments.... glad you like the look!!! Frank

    a little update...... When I first attached the sail to the gaff it looked a little skimpy, so I went on line and found a picture of the Surprise with its gaff sail furled. They had it attached to the mast also. I made the correction and it looks alot better....thanks for look'n in.. Frank

    Sjors....... thank you for your interest in my Supply, I just hope you'er not thinking that the sails will make good target practice when all of your guns are in place on your TWO men o' war !! Derek....... yeah. I like the furled idea too, that way the sails don't hide all the rigging, thanks for look'n in. Peter...... I'm glad you like the overall look, I hope I didn't go overboard !!

    OK...... just a little picture update..... all the yards fitted with salis and attached to the masts, this almost completes the standing rigging, I need to run the yard braces and tye off the backstays, then I can start to work on painting up the crew!! Boom gaff and driver gaff have to be attached ..... almost forgot those... 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.
