    good morning everyone gardening, and puppy arrangements as well as PC gaming have got in the way of the Indy, never mind though its not a race, even though next build is planned LOL on table 201 -7 days when i put the Catharpin's in everything around the futtock staves looked bulky, so i redid the futtock shrouds and Catharpin's again and again it was 4 times before deciding to leave them, not brilliant but not looking quite as bad then made a decision that may bite me in the future, to go ahead a put the bowsprit on, as this was already made up and ready to go

    good evening everyone day 191 -6 foremast standing rigging with the lower shrouds completed onto the futtock shrouds, the deadeye assemblies are slightly different to that of the Caldercraft Victory in that the futtocks actually keep the deadeyes from pulling out rather than a catch that locks them into the channel the futtock staves are just a piece of 1mm brass rod

  19. Kevin
    lovely work my friend
  20. Kevin
    ty, i will do that, first though i will make up the required amounts of shrouds then reapply them, hopefully a lot tidier,
  21. Kevin
    good evening everyone 184-6 good evening everyone i have slowly been tidying up the bow and making up the masts, so yesterday i decided to insert the lower foremast, and tapped it into position, which gave a lovely satisfying sound telling ,e it was down on the keel, a measurement check confirmed the it was 1.3mm black thread, and 0.5 natural for the landwards, lets start the rigging two pair of pendants in first with 1mm thread and 2.5mm Thimble first pair to stbd these will all be removed and tidied up before i go on with the build, i find deck fittings get in my way so these will be added at a convenient time
  22. Kevin
    good evening everyone thank you for comments and like Foremast day 181 - 6 not a lot to say but oh so enjoyable, even the upper mast battens are included in the kit,
  23. Kevin
    lovely to see her back on the table, wish i had friends who abandon their RW, lol wish i had a friend
  24. Kevin
    good afternoon everyone thankyou for comments and likes day 180-6 today i made up the mizzen mast, all 3 are very basic for now, but i really wanted to get them out of the ways before the new puppy arrives, a couple of bits are pinned, but nothing is glued, so might seam a bit squiffy in places, also they they might not be in the fully home position I will possibly be have a few days of soon from the build, as the mancave display area, is to be made larger, and although it was only done a couple of years ago, its its small (lol always something to do)
  25. Kevin
    more stunning work

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.
