    good evening everyone thank you for all comments and likes day 213 -8 forestay snaking - possible subject to a redo having completed both sides of the lower forestay shrouds and rats i moved forward to put the forestay and preventer snaking in, having now done them twice now they still dont look right, i have adequate tightness on the stays and the snaking thread is not pulling them in, but at a distance they look like they are being pulled together

    good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes days 207-7 fore mast yard i am aware i am doing this all the wrong way around, and that certain things need to be done first, however i wanted to know to myself that i was still able to do certain tasks, having now proved those tasks i can go to the conventional way of rigging my build, i will still continue to work forward to aft, but concentrate on getting the Ratlines done before the yards fore yard made made slings being fitted Jeers

    good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes day 204-7 apologies for not interacting with the forum much recently, lots going on in the background, nothing at all bad, just busy before you all laugh at me about my way of rigging this build, i vowed i would start at the front and work aft, most lines are still just temp and still to be fixed into position, today the foemast mast yard will be mad up, then hopefully get the ratlines done it might all just bite me on the bum the line between the fore and main is a temp backstay as non are fitted

    good morning everyone gardening, and puppy arrangements as well as PC gaming have got in the way of the Indy, never mind though its not a race, even though next build is planned LOL on table 201 -7 days when i put the Catharpin's in everything around the futtock staves looked bulky, so i redid the futtock shrouds and Catharpin's again and again it was 4 times before deciding to leave them, not brilliant but not looking quite as bad then made a decision that may bite me in the future, to go ahead a put the bowsprit on, as this was already made up and ready to go

    lovely to see an update
  18. Kevin
    lovely to hear from you again, in my dreams i will finish her, in reality i doubt she will ever be advanced, my skill levels dont seam to be improving, maybe i should stop fooling myself and stick to kits

    a little bit of thread drift, created by myself This is Apollo, a nearly 5 week old Show Cocker Spaniel and yes he picked me, will be coming home with us in 4 weeks

    i hope not to have a SD14 moment, that still brings tears to my eyes
  21. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 191 -6 foremast standing rigging with the lower shrouds completed onto the futtock shrouds, the deadeye assemblies are slightly different to that of the Caldercraft Victory in that the futtocks actually keep the deadeyes from pulling out rather than a catch that locks them into the channel the futtock staves are just a piece of 1mm brass rod
  22. Kevin
    thank you i did a better job on her than my currant build
  23. Kevin
    i will avoid the boat building as long as possible
  24. Kevin

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.
