    Peter,
     
    Thanks so much for your answer - super helpful - now I understand more (:-)
     
    And thanks for your so kind words. The tops were a bit of a challenge, I'm comfortable with how they came out. 
     
    Regarding your post - This is what I understood you to say. Hope that I got it right?

    Hi Mates,
     
    Took some time, and now getting back to the yard. Here is a minor update (as mine seem to always be) so still working on the mizenmast putting the bits together;
     
    ••Fiddle blocks for mainstays (amazing how long these small bits actually take to put together) – nothing new here you have all certainly thought the same thing working on your builds—
     
    ••Lower cap along with its release clasp metal bits- done
     
    ••Completed the lower platform
     
    ••Finished the lower mast as well
     
    So now - onto installing everything Hmmm….
     
    PS: those two locking pins will be cut to proper size (:-)
     
    Cheers

    Hi Mates,
     
    I NEED some advice, before I attach the two mizzenmast shafts together, I don’t know what should be the correct mounting?
     
    Pic 1)
     
    Lower main then attaches its mid shaft with the correct clamp and pins, along with the center pulley that will have a rope run through it – then attached to the lower cap on each side. This I understand – in case of a need to lower that mast.
     

     
    Pics 2 & 3)
     
    But – here is my confusion – for the mizzenmast I also added the metal brace and pins.
    SO should the mid shaft of the mizzen be attached permanently to its lower mast with those two pins? (Excuse my lack of correct vocabulary)
     
    Are those two pins correct?
     
    As always thanks for the posts, and for the likes.
    Thanks in advance for your advice for this bit.

    Yes, that's it.
    To lower the mast, the top rope would be used to first lift the mast enough to take the load off the fid.
    Then the fid could be pulled out and the topmast lowered.

    Another small update - made up the skid beams for the ship`s boat using 2x2 & 2x3mm lumber,& added gussets at the corners,& glued in place.
    After that I drilled & filed the holes in the catheads & glued them in place. Still waiting for some small blocks to arrive so I can get the rest of the guns in place on those upper decks.

    This picture is what I have a question for ... does any one know what  it's function is.... there are a few of these on the deck
     

     
     
    This picture shows two of the previous pictures piece. the way these two pieces are set up on the deck
    leaves no room for the crew to get to the bow of the ship, I cant imagine them trying to climb over these. take a look........

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.
