    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,

    wonderful display for a fantastic build
  6. Kevin
    dont forget all the gun port openings on the bow

    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

    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

    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

    Good evening spent a lot of time on the build this weekend, - I may have to re-do the main mast again, as I forgot the fire buckets, have managed to put then in now but they are not rigged with handles, Mizzen mast shrouds now going in

    Good afternoon everyone Progress and a dry day to take her outside for the first time this year, main mast cathapins and futtock shrouds are now in place
  23. Kevin
    robipod, I tend to force my self to sit, but as I and not in my normal mancave at present i dont have the right amount of leg room to make my self comfy, as for the build - hope to have her completed this year, Im already thinking of what sail material to use and how to make all the spars and finding decent drawings for the stuns to be deployed
  24. Kevin
    Brilliant work my friend
  25. Kevin
    Im worried about the fire below, hope you dont loose the supply of tic tacs

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.
