    I prefer Box which is impossible to find any more. Years ago I used Cherry for frames on the Fair American (Lauckstreet kit) and the color has deepened to a beautiful brown. Maury

    I can't believe it's been two months since I posted last. I've been working off and on towards finishing the rigging. Jib halyards, main and fore sheets plus some minor things left to go. Pictures later. Maury

    Druxey, "Pouring medium" is what Janet had in her studio that looks / acts like "Matte Medium" but a bit more glossy. Working on the sheer poles. Chapelle describes them as 1" iron rods, served and wired to the outside of the shrouds. I cut some very thin (.025") box strips, rounded the edges and served them. They are tough to get / hold in place while lashing to the shrouds. The ends of the lanyards get in the way. Speaking of lanyards, they have been tightened up. After they reeve through the deadeyes, the working end is brought up to the throat of the shroud

    Lots of experiments with different cloth, silkspan, etc for the mast coats. I think this was a beige "Land" cloth (I think from a Hawaiian shirt. Cutting to shape many times to get it to fit to the mast on top and cover the wedges on the bottom. I saturated a small piece of cloth with "Pouring Medium" on a board, let it dry and cut to shape (Big "C"). Tweezers and a brush with more Medium to get it to fit. Texture looks like canvas. Maury

    Billt, I have a MicroMark mill with all sorts of accessories. If you want a bigger mill than the Sherline, send me a PM. It weighs a lot so shipping might be a cost issue. I'm in Ft Worth so give it a thought. Maury

    Toni, the planking looks great!! Maury
  31. Maury S
    Bob, your comment.. has convinced me it is fully running rigging. Common sense prevails! Thanks, Maury
  32. Maury S
    Bob, I thought the topping lift might be a special case (similar to pendants which seem to be tarred down to the point of a tackle being attached). Maury
  33. Maury S
    Thanks all. Allan, in this case, gun tackle/ topping lift tackle = a couple of blocks attached at the lower end of the topping lift to get some mechanical advantage in lifting the end of the boom. See pic. of Emma C. Berry plan attached. btw, scale here is 1:32. Maury
  34. Maury S
    Would it be considered Standing rigging (Dark color) with a gun tackle at he end or running rigging all the way up to the mast head? (light brown)? Maury
  35. Maury S
    The end is in sight! Maury

    John, Quite helpful. Thanks Maury

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.
