    I love the ability to change things easily with the computer drawings. As you can see, this is quite different from this same drawing posted earlier. Still have to add the gaffs, deadeyes, rigging and a few other details.

    More as-yet completed drawings. The image with the spacing of the lower deadeyes shown is probably the most useful one. On the rigging drawings, they will take the appropriate angles to match the stays and shrouds.

    This week and next (at a minimum) will be spent drawing. I've been creating the plans by importing the laser drawings as a base which speeds up the process and also gives me another fit check. These two will probably be rearranged several times before they're done. These are the 24" x 36" sheets.

    A few more details added. The boat on the davits has lasered floorboards and thwarts added and fire buckets have been placed around the skylight. Another boat with lashings has been added to the fore house roof.

    Added the top view of the framing. Port side just shows subdeck applied, starboard side shows actual framing, fillers, etc. I do like the ability to add color to the drawings to differentiate the parts.

    Some of today's drawings. These are part of the hull construction sheet. This is reduced copy as the sheet will be 36" wide.

    Time to start the strings, I guess.

    And the "sticks" are drawn.

    Third set of plans. Working on the "stick" drawings now.
  21. alross2
    Second set of plans. Next up will be standard side view/top view drawings of both houses as completed.

    First of the kit drawings. AFT HOUSE CONSTRUCTION.pdf
  24. alross2
    Both houses, both hatches, and the cap rails are now glued on.
  25. alross2
    Stanchions are in. Cap rail will go on next week.
  26. alross2
    Starting some assembly now. Today I have to drill and paint the 30+ deadeyes with chainplates.
  27. alross2
    The basic "sticks" are done. Each mast has a dozen mast hoops from .015" laserboard. At the moment, I'm stropping blocks with twisted wire.

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.
