    Still has a bit of a way to go yet till I get her completely flat - its seems to be taking several coats, yet still some of the areas are still what I would call a satin finish. OC.

    Evening all, I have completed attaching the two topgallant post tention ropes, down on to the two deadeyes - this means the foremast/bowsprit is now fully tentioned to each other, while I was in the mood I decided to give the whole ship several clear matt coats, to flatten everything down as the paintwork still had a bit of a sheen to her. Just the one (poor) photo. OC.

    Evening all I decided today to re - do the bobstay on the bowsprit as the original was not tidy - so I cut away the old a re fitted some fresh ropes and blocks, then I tentioned them correctly - at the same time I fitted a fresh stay from the center of the bowsprit underneath and fitted around the forecastle railng. Looks a bit more supported now. Heres the pics - OC.

    So - more ratlines to be done tomorrow then they will need a tidy up of thier ends, one thing did happen while I was working on them - I managed to break off the topgallant where it meets the topmast 🤧I was able to keep it in place due to the stays - I put loads of ca around the break and that seems to have done the trick........"Phewww.....🤞" OC.

    Evening all, firstly sincere thanks to all the likes/followers and comments - so onwards and upwards with the ratlines on the foremast, I decided to fit them by eyeball rather than making a paper mask, seems straight forward enough - just tricky as you need six pairs of hands to tie/ tention and glue the lines around each shroud, getting the spacing is fairly easy to do though - I have been rotating from side to side. Just a few pics. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    Fantastic work - a realy nice attractive finished job. OC.

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.
