    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

    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
  3. Kevin
    lovely work bob,
  4. Kevin
    Very nice indeed, don't forget the bow gun-port openings
  5. Kevin
    when you run out of 1.3mm black thread, please remember the couple of metres on the rigging tool
  6. Kevin
    Lovely work
  7. Kevin
    I wish I had a fraction of your skills, those carvings look great
  8. Kevin
    I am so following this log, and other Confederacy builds since I decided it would be my next build, If chuck allows me
  9. Kevin
    I managed to complete the main stay and preventer lacing, and put two new lines in from the foremast to the bowspit, I just need now to work out what they are called, I had not provisioned for the blocks fitted to the gammoning - and hope that what i have done will do the job, even if they are over sized

    Standing Rigging continues (and might be for a while)
  11. Kevin
    I like the idea, wish I had done the fancy wood work, lol bit late for me on this build
  12. Kevin
    lovely work, what are you going to use to bring out the detail on those whales
  13. Kevin
    agreed , but i have not seen a Victory build with the foredeck lanyards did you see plate 43?
  14. Kevin
    Dafi - do you have Longbridge "The Anatomy Of Nelsons ships", if so can you please have a look at plate 43, My scanner is not working at present, however it seams that tjhat the lanyards for the chaser lids were controlled from the fore deck
  15. Kevin
    Thank you Sjors
  16. Kevin
    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
  17. Kevin
    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
  18. Kevin
    Looking very nice, even nicer to see the team work, well done
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. Kevin
    lovely work, all this detail and soon to be covered over for ever
  22. Kevin
    Dafi - what a compliment from the Victory master, Thankyou so very much, that means so much to me
  23. Kevin
    Frank just caught up with your work, she looks fantastic, love the way you have attached the sails in the furled position
  24. Kevin
    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
  25. Kevin
    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

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.
