    Congratulation for the enchanting model.

    Hi Ed, I am always enthralled by your meticulous work, how to do the details. Also, I admire your documentation of the work.

    Since I was also busy with the construction of the masts I look with great interest on your masts with equipment for the Pandora. Your Pandora is a wonderful model, a masterpiece of model making. Just as high quality are the associated masts.

    Hello, before I go on with the report, I would like to thank you for your interest and compliments, also for the LIKES. The bowsprit is ready so far except for the rings for the font fish. The dolphin striker for the La Crèole was forged from iron. The jib boom and the flying jib boom have now been made. Here are some pictures:

    Hi Ed, that's a great performance again.

    Hello, many thanks for the interest and the nice comments, but also for the LIKES. I'm very glad about that. In the meantime, I made a new bowsprit. The previous one was from Ramin, which does not fit the other masts. The mast-rings still need to be supplemented.

    Excellent performance! Your work inspires me. Here LINK you can see my method for making the fittings for the dead-eyes.

    Very nice work!

    Hi Karl, very good job!

    Wow, very very good job!

    Fantastic work!

    Hello, many thanks for the stimulating comments, and also for the LIKES. The last details on the masts are made. These are hoops around the lower masts with holders for pins, so-called spider bands. The holder was made of brass investment casting. The left fragment of a hoop is a failed attempt. The right hoop looks much better, right?

    Very nice!
  14. archjofo
    Wow, fantastic work!

    Hello, thanks for the kind comments. Little progress has been made, but the lower mast coats are completed. For this a picture. I hope you like it.

    Hello, meanwhile, I've made some small progress: I turned the supporting bodies for the mastcoats on my Unimat. The tarred canvas I imitate by fine silk that I dyed black with poster paint.

    Fantastic Work!

    Hello Albert, Your model is an absolute masterpiece. This is model building in its best form. I still have a lot to learn.

    Hello Ed, the overall view of the model with the masts is very impressive.

    Hello Karl, a really extremely precise detail work. I'm excited.
  22. archjofo
    Very good detail work.

    Hello Michael and Thomas, many thanks for your friendly comments. Enclosed two photos of the model ship with the provisional installed masts.

    Hello Patrick, Thank you for your interest and your kind comment. I do not have any accessories for my Unimat. I can show you my Unimat anyway, at which I just turn a lower mast coat. In the background, my mini circular saw can be seen. Also, I still have a FET of Proxxon. @albert @ Mirabell61 Thank you, also you both.

    @JOUFF Hello Patrick, many thanks for your nice note. @All Thanks for thumbs up! Today, I report on the final work on the masts. The last rings were installed at foremast. The next three pictures show the finished masts. Beside this are the top masts.

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.
