Thank you, Dirk! Where the color is concerned the hammocks look whiter in the images than they really are. I chose an eggshell colored fabric, the silkspan is kind of yellowish too, and the white glue (in spite of its name 😉) did not really whiten up the end result either. I know, Mondfeld states that the hammocks should be brownish because of all the dirt. But then he also describes the making of a hammock as simply 'folding a little roll of fabric . . . ' ☺️ Thomas -

Jason, Jim, Carl, B.E., thank you so much for your kind words! And thanks for all the 'likes'! After weeks of building nothing else but hammocks I am really happy to have them finished, and encouraged to get this kind of feedback! It is much appreciated. Thomas -

For me adding the bowsprit always changes the looks of a ship's hull completely. Your's looks VERY good! Thomas

Gun port lids along with working hinges can be very fiddly. But as usual your end result looks great! Thomas

Thank you, Harley! These hammocks due to their large number really are an endurance test 🙂 Thomas -
Hello Richard! Great to hear from you again! Your Syren is a beauty! But what happened to your hammocks? I am now stuck with these things 😉 Thomas

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.
