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

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

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)

nothing is fixed, i am no way ready for masts at this time, but wanted to progress them before the new pup arrival, i also want to redo my display area, so the shed where i did the masts is going to be a temp storage area soon the pups photo was added by mistake, but decided to leave it there, taken yesterday, with just the boys in it, we will be having one of them but will decide which one, as we have first pick, in a couple of weeks time, his name has already been decided, and will be Apollo

good morning everyone Bowsprit 177-6 also completed yesterday well that was a fun little project, i went for the longer version of the two options available and went with the flying Jibboom. this extents the build by another 110mm, the most difficult part was the angle for the masts passing through the cap, done now and im quite pleased with the result

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.
