Hi all, thanks to everyone for the kind comments and likes. I thought that this was a suitable time to post a latest progress shot as tomorrow is the third anniversary for this build. As you can see I've made some inroads into the standing rigging and I'm currently working on the dead eyes. A tip for anybody doing this one in future would be to leave the gun port covers until the rigging is complete as I've managed to knock about 50% of them off so far. Finally a Happy New Year to you all

Hi, As always thank you for the comments and support. Latest update is the Bowsprit is now rigged as far as I can at present, so I'm now well under way with the Fore mast, and the spars are drying in their new colours. I find this part of the build one of the most rewarding, as you complete each stage you can see a significant change.

Hi all, Thanks to the usual people for the comments, they are always appreciated. With reference to my last post and the "Only the anchors to go comment", I missed two little things ( ships boats). As per usual I completely underestimated how long these were going to take, after all they are only small... what a mug they are taking for ever, anyway here's the progress

I've been out of the country a fair bit recently, but I have finally got the final parts of the stern decoration in place. There is still quite a bit of tidying up to do, but while I have been waiting for the filler to set I started on the upper deck cannons. A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all.

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.
