    I have left the damage, as is Decided to go aft and complete the Mizzen mast, which I hope to have completed in the next week, the advantage, is that I have another 6 to 8 inches to move the lump around,

    I made the decision to do the ratlines prior to the cleats, presently looking as to where the cleats are fitted, The last thing i wanted was for them to be in the way of the spacing
  3. Kevin
    not the answer you are looking for, but i use c/a and then use a diluted mat black paint over any any marks,

    spent quite a lot of time tieing off the loose ends after ensuring they were taught enough, turn the build around and DAMMMMMMMMMMMMM, snapped the Jib boom, tried to repair but unable to as all the lines attached will not allow me to get a decent repair, so am going to leave it for now, Went to the other end and now working on the mizzen mast, presently fitting the futtock shrouds there is a big moral story to all this, but dont want to admit that it was a big mistake doing the bow area out of sequence

    Good afternoon everyone I completed the fore mast standing Riggiing, and now onto the Mainmast, quite windy outside, but managed a few shots and its great for blowing the dust off
  14. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, took me ages to find my own thread, after nearly two ,months away again Anyway, i have completed the netting around the boomkins, and happy with them but i have now resolved where I think the lines go wrt the 6 lines that come from above the round house and pass through the thimbles on the spirit sail yard My big question now is WHEN DO I START TO TIE EVERYTHING OFF AND SECURE THEM? Sorry about picture quality, and my mancave is a tip
  15. Kevin
    now that is starting to look really nice

    Rich, as mentioned in a previous post, no doors are supplied, but I remember a group discussion a couple of years back, that no one is 100% sure that they existed in the first place at the time of Trafalgar, mine are currently open whilst I decide what to do with them

    Its nice Good morning Pete It is nice to see their offer is back on, unfortunately i may never have the opportunity to build another 1st rate, and still have quite a lot to do on my present one, I just had the big choice at the start to do one or the other

    Good news on the hearing, Great photos of your lovely build Wives are always right (apparently), in only rigging to the lower tops, gives you a years advantage, towards another build

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.
