Hi JD, Welcome to MSW. It's great that they had the instructions available. There's no place to post them as MSW does not support the posting of copyrighted material. However, if you ever see someone asking for instructions to an AL kit, you can point them in the right direction.

In looking at the photo, at the bottom of the picture, some of the deck is visible (not much). On second look, that may be the deck between the wheels... or he camera angle.

I think Roger has the right idea and it makes sense. One question in my mind, is the camera angle deceiving our eyes? If we look at the bottom of the picture, the planking that can be seen looks... "different".

That looks like a great idea. I'm thinking it would work better than the two nails in block of wood method.

Looks really good, Carl. I like seeing the difference ways this kit can be done. Now we need to "push" Popeye and get the group photo.

Al, That's one of my references. I located the original plans (some but not all) but not the re-build plans. As built, Le Renommee would be close. Very ornate. So far, the only ones that exist are the NMM that I can find. I'll give my searching another few days and then go with what I think the carvings were.

Rope-Stropped Blocks for Boom Vang
mtaylor replied to Julie Mo's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Very impressive work, Julie. The block looks fantastic. -
Goto the Main Page and scroll down to "Members Build Logs". You'll find all the build logs in those two topics that are shown. Go to either the kit or scratch forum depending on you model. Open a new topic (with your post) and people will find it. I hope this helps.

Angel, You really should start a build log on your ship.

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.
