    Finished the bricks, sprayed automotive red primer, spackled and wiped it down, then added the pots to the top.

    So, 2 years and 11 months later, I have picked up this build again. got the last brick layers on and the top bricks as well. Still need to trim the stepped face.

    Actually, I think a model is never "finished" because you can always see something to add...... Finished means you have decided to stop working on it. Nic 😉

    It's the schooner Voldemort for legal reasons. Nic

    Rigging complete. now back to Al for a few finishing touches. Nic
  17. MrBlueJacket
    Never really blew a deadeye out like that, but I have had deadeyes where the separation between holes failed. Nic
  18. MrBlueJacket
    Running rigging on the Fore and Main complete. the end is in sight. Nic
  19. MrBlueJacket
    Standing rigging is now complete.

    Nice job covering the chain at that scale! Nic

    Foremast standing rigging is done.
  23. MrBlueJacket
    Yes they did use wire. 3mm dia wire is VERY strong. personally, I use CA when I cut the wire so it doesn't unravel. To fasten, I loop the wire through an eye, when use a 1/4" piece of 1/16 aluminum tube to crimp the wire in place. Nic
  24. MrBlueJacket
    Yes, printing 11 x 17 worked perfectly. That must have been the size of the original instructions. Nic

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.
