    Creativity and ingenuity prevent everything being cookie-cutter. I couldn't be more delighted. Send me a couple of pix and a paragraph or two of your mods and I'll make it "model of the month" sometime. Nic
  2. MrBlueJacket

    Even though this ship has battens instead of ratlines, it still has ratlines every 5th batten to the outer shrouds.

    Very nice, Bill.

    That's where we sent the tug kit to. Give me your new address and I'll correct your customer file Nic

    After a month, although there were a couple of initial inquiries, I am still actively searching for the right person to carry on the tradition. Nic

    No need to return the bad bottle - like I said, I'll send you one. Just need to know the color. nic
  15. MrBlueJacket
    Hi, Give me your gummy paint color and I'll replace it Nic
  16. MrBlueJacket
    Once the battens are glued to the shrouds, the ends are clipped off and we have beautifully spaced and even battens.
  17. MrBlueJacket
    Now to add the battens. We developed a unique method to insure the battens are evenly spaced. We made a "batten ladder"

    The rest of the lower shrouds on #6 mast

    Turned the ship around to work on the starboard side. First 2 stays in place.

    Congratulations, Mark. Beautiful work. Your customer file now shows you will get a 10% discount on the next kit you buy from us. Nic

    When doing the chains for the Red Jacket, I first tied fine sewing thread to the chain, then stiffened the other end with CA glue. I think you will find it much easier. Nic

    Rigged the rear gaff......
  25. MrBlueJacket
    Started to fit out the rear boom. Interesting that on the bottom of the boom there is a block and tackle setup that apparently goes nowhere. I seem to recall (and correct me if I'm wrong) that it is a tensioner to help prevent hogging of the boom itself. In the Penobscott Marine Museum there is a schooner model with the same setup, belaying to the jaws.

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.
