    Looking very good, Bill. Enamel for airbrushing should be the thickness of milk. I start with 1:2 thinner:paint and then thin more if necessary. Nic

    Looks good to me. I'll be following this. When you're done, you will get a 10% discount on the next kit you get from us. Nic
  14. MrBlueJacket started following USS CONSTITUTION by Brian Falke - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - Scale 1:96, Swampscott Dory by ZackP - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - 1:12, Yankee Hero by MichaelW - BlueJacket Shipcrafters - 3/8"=1' - 1889 Quoddy Boat and 1 other

    We tentatively scheduled the 2021 rigging class for May 24-28, I'm going to push it off until Sept 27 - Oct 1.
  16. MrBlueJacket
    And now i can say all the braces are done!
  17. MrBlueJacket
    The problem is that the other end of the line is glued to a belaying pin and rope coil. So I had to find an inconspicuous spot to splice the new line to the remains of the old.
  18. MrBlueJacket
    DISASTER! While using a battery Dremel to clear a hole, it accidentally caught one of the brace lines, ripping it asunder And here's the broken line and block that was ripped off

    Looking good! For white paint touch-up you can just spray a little white onto a piece of wax paper and then paint with it. The gloss paint is for the bare wood, like the tiller, mahogany and stand. Nic
  20. MrBlueJacket
    Deck looks good! A coil or two of rope will hide numerous irregularities. Nic
  21. MrBlueJacket
    Glad I was able to help! Nic
  22. MrBlueJacket
    Can you find an HO scale porcelain bowl?
  23. MrBlueJacket
    I decided I'm tired of weaving through the rigging, so I diverted to the Jib staysail halyards and downhauls, which are out in the open. Call it a mental break....
  24. MrBlueJacket
    OK, staysail rigging done, back to braces. At this point, all that's left are the top 3 pairs on the mizzen.
  25. MrBlueJacket
    "it would not keep anyone from going over the side it would just ensure that they went over head first." HA HA HA I can picture that
  26. MrBlueJacket
    Never mind, it looks good now!

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.
