So now I have put all 3 top yards on and attached their lifts. Now this project goes on hold while I build a New Bedford Whaleboat for a customer.

Been too busy to do much. Here's the fore top yard almost done. Need to add 4 blocks, then it can be mounted.

I leave some DNA on every model. Usually just a little blood from getting poked by the #11 blade.

To try to line up the upper deadeyes, of course you can increase or decrease the tension on the lanyards. Another method not so well known is to twist up or unravel the shrouds themselves. That only goes so far, however before it makes other troubles.

Notice how the deck furniture placement is rastered into the deck - saves a lot of measuring!

When the centerboard is down, the eye is close to the deck. When the centerboard is up, the eye is of course much further up as well. Nic

Very artistic. I love natural wood like that, and the cantilever is visually interesting. Nice walk-around video, too. 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.
