    Good morning Charlene (and Jerry) hope you are both well I am still progressing the snaking on the main stay and preventer, hope to complete that tomorrow Friday (work gets in the way during the week) Once the studding spars are fitted to the build, I will not have any where within the house to display her so my man cave will have to be altered to display her, at a guess she will be at least 18" wider - so is going to take a lot of space

    good evening Sjors sorry about the setback, - other than that she is looking mighty fine, will be interested to see what the rope is like when you get it
  3. Kevin

    Nick Even though I pm'd you today, just got home and looking at "The extended eyes you have on the bottom of the Sprit Sail Yard?" - lol i am perhaps not looking at what you are seeing my friend
  5. Kevin
    I forgot to do my post last night (even though I thought I had , - to tired, spent 4 hours snaking the main stay and main preventer stay, but wish i had done it before doing the ratlines, as they are going to be in my way, oh hum, can some one please tell me which is the bob stay and which is the bowspit shrouds, at a guess i think the bottom of the three cut water lines is the bobstay

    Frank just caught up with your work, she looks fantastic, love the way you have attached the sails in the furled position

    Hi Lawrence Yes I will be adding stuns to the build, which will mean 36 sails I think, presently sourcing the cloth to build them (well the wife will be) Im still enjoying the standing rigging stage, just a bit more difficult than it needs to be, due to being in the conservatory rather than the man cave Now 7 months old Dobbie is growing up fast and hopefully will allow me to go back into the man cave soon, at present to try to spend to much time keeping an eye on what we are doing, and the British weather makes that impossible, so that was the reason I moved into the house thank you for looking in, hope you are well

    well I actually feel i am getting somewhere with the build, although not checked i quess that I have spent more time on her this year so far than the whole of 2015 the bow now seams to be looking tidier and so far i am happy with it, but with limited build space, it is a bit of a handful tomorrow i hope to lave the main stay and preventer stay

    just had a wonderful lunch break catching up on your log, what lovely clean crisp work, everything that my build isn't,
  12. Kevin
    what about a big chair structure for fishing at the front the type used for spotting things in the distance
  13. Kevin
    wow - wish my 1st planking was that well done, I could not get the 2nd layer on fast enough to hide it Lovely work
  14. Kevin
    Good evening everyone although I have been absent from MSW I am actually Boat building in my spare time, I read in one of the post not long ago, to attempt to do one thing per night on a build even if it is tying one knot, Now as I am working out of a temporary man cave, I am trying to avoid swinging her around a lot, so have decided to to work on the bows and see how things go I made up a quick spirit sail yard as I try to work out where all the lines go, and have adopted the approach of not guessing, but try to work out what each line is trying to achieve - making it much easier for me anyway,
  15. Kevin
    wonderful display for a fantastic build
  16. Kevin
    dont forget all the gun port openings on the bow
  17. Kevin
    Robert, I doubt there is anything here worth taking, but by all means - after 4 years i am still only on page 4 of Gil Middleton build
  18. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, I pinned a stub 8mm spar to the formast to practice rigging the Jeers, but without much success, the lines keep dropping in and crossing over them selves within the cleat, will try again with a thicker thread, as a result the jeer blocks are at different heights
  19. Kevin
    Ian its lovely to catch up with your build again, I seam to have been out of the loop for some time
  20. Kevin
    permission to follow your build please
  21. Kevin
    Lovely work Dennis
  22. Kevin
    well my first attempt at lacing
  23. Kevin
    this fiddler than anticipated
  24. Kevin
    permission to follow your build please, this will be my next purchase
  25. Kevin
    Thankyou Lawrence, Im really enjoying the build again, I got so close to just giving up on her last year, but once the masts started being worked on my attitude to the build changed, But hopefully I can progress quite a lot this year and get her to the completed stage, the final decision has been made on my next build, after lots of changing my mind, the money is set aside, just dont want to buy it yet in case that gets started and delays this, It will be the USF Confederacyhttp://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/model-shipways-confederacy-MS2262.html

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.
