    Thanks. You should write a book. I can't wait to try this method; it sounds better than Bob Hunt's method. Thanks again. BTY: What model are you working on now?

    I have one more question. I believe that you had a method of tying/creating the coils of line that are attached to various cleats, timberheads, etc. Would it be possible to remember how that was done? Thanks.

    I am using a hair straightener - set on low heat and only one pass - and the kit rope is behaving much better. I still like the look of the morope, however. Thanks for your help. Cheers

    Thanks. I am doing the rigging now (Chapter 9 in the practicum). Now I am worried since I am using the kit supplied rope. I will try morope on my next model. Thanks again.

    Your method of "bouy making" was very helpful. So I would like to ask for another trip down memory lane and your mothod for rigging the cannons. I had a log of trouble with the kit supplied rope being stiff. When I tried to fasten the blocks to the cheeks and hull, the rope would constantly "pull" them off. My rigging looks sloppy while yours looks tight and proper. Any help I can use of future models would be appreciated. Thanks.

    As someone in the middle of building the AVS, I wish I had access to the full blog, with your comments. I found your comments to be as valuable as the practicum. Thanks.

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.
