    I used small deadeyes and drilled the middle out to create the bull eyes, as for gils message, most likely his inbox is full

    Right then - my turn to throw the cat amongst the pigeons you are at sea, When is the anchor rope removed from the hawse, how difficult a job was it and have you modelled the bungs to replace the rope I am asking the question after seeing this print by Geoff Hunt

  10. Kevin

  11. Kevin
    Nigel, I love the carvings, well done
  12. Kevin
    lovely work, lol you were on the windows last time I looked, just where is my time going to, I had to giggle when you were talking about the rudder pins and needing a bigger scale next time,and the same discussion would be brought up on some detail that we hadnt even thought of
  13. Kevin
    Good evening everyone, Well I found out where I went wrong, the martingales throught the Dolphin striker were incorrect, well one line was and I had one line to many the Fore Top gallant Stay, Flying Jib stay, Fore Topgallant Mast Stay and Jib stay still need to be secured presently I have moved onto the Main mast, completed the Jeer lashings and started the upper shrouds
  14. Kevin
    Yes grant, i do but i am having a slight issue for the routing of the stays to the pins, and knowing the names of the stays in the first place, i have found that i have three block places taken on the knightheads port and stbd, and those dont tie in with the longridge book.I will possibly have to redo some if what i have completed is wrong, but for now i have moved aft to do some more shrouds
  15. Kevin
    Forgot to say, she looks fantastic
  16. Kevin
    Harvey i seamed not to have been to your build for quite some time, lovely work, I guess we are about the same stage, at present I am putting in the shrouds to the mizzen mast, Been in build for 4 years now and so want to finish her this year, making the 37 sails will perhaps be my next big project I promise not to stay away for so long
  17. Kevin
    Harvey, I have given up with the plans, and my other two reference books differ, although the principles are the same, as the names of the stays differ slightly
  18. Kevin
    Good morning everyone standing riggng continues, I put the Bumpkins in and secured them into place with a bracket, I have managed to get quite confused where some of the lines get secured, like the Jib out haulers, and the 4 main stays, so that is work in progress, now i am going to move aft and start the main mast upper shrouds
  19. Kevin
    Rich I found when putting the deadeye strops in that I got a better and more secure result by drill a small hole in the side of the slot in the channel , I even put a drop of C/A on it, had no rips outs, but I did ensure that the chain plates would line up, I also pinned the channels into the hull
  20. Kevin
    lovely work bob,
  21. Kevin
    Very nice indeed, don't forget the bow gun-port openings
  22. Kevin
    when you run out of 1.3mm black thread, please remember the couple of metres on the rigging tool
  23. Kevin
    Lovely work
  24. Kevin
    I wish I had a fraction of your skills, those carvings look great
  25. Kevin
    I am so following this log, and other Confederacy builds since I decided it would be my next build, If chuck allows me

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.
