    Wow! I actually have difficulties to really imagine the size of this rifle rack. Thomas

    Patrick, there is really nothing special I do for serving with silk thread. If you don't fix the serving at the ends it will unravel. However, a little CA glue or if you know the length of your served rope feeding the silk thread through the rope at the ends will easily do the job. Thomas

    This is really nice work, BE! The cover idea makes a big difference. Thomas

    Bob and Harshil, thank you for your kind comments! And thanks for all the likes! Harshil, for seizing the blocks I use served rope. I serve the rope with a 100wt silk thread which leads to a very smooth surface. I did this the first time when rigging the carronades and liked the look of it 🙂 Thomas

    A little update . . . I made the travelers (imgs 1 to 3). The leather lining was simulated with a layer of silkspan painted with leather paint. The jibboom was lashed to the bowsprit (img 4), the flying jibboom was mounted and the various blocks added. Imgs 5 to 8 show the blocks and the simulated round seizing. Img 9 presents the current state of the bowsprit assembly. Thomas Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Image 5 Image 6 Image 7 Image 8 Image 9

    I finally moved into rope making, too, using Chuck's recipe and rope Rocket. After a little experimentation the results turned out very satisfactory. Between our dining table and a little Black& Decker work bench I can easily make ropes of about 25' (see picture). Although it was much easier to just buy the finished high quality ropes form Chuck 😊 Thomas

    Thank you, this formula is most helpful! Thomas

    Superb work! And your photography is amazing . . . on some of those images it is really difficult to tell whether you are looking at the real ship or a model 🙂 Thomas

    Wonderful work! It is a delight to follow your build log! Thomas

    My next model will be a POF model. It would be wonderful to have some good choices! But first I need to get my Syren finished 😉 Thomas

    Your planking looks really good! Thomas

    Beautiful work! In my opinion a nicely executed wooden ship's wheel makes a big difference to a ship model. Thomas
  22. Gahm
    What a wonderful model! Thomas
  23. Gahm
    Wonderful work, Mike! Your oven looks like you could start preparing dinner on it right away 🙂 Thomas

    I love your galleries! They are so much better than the kit provided stuff! Thomas

    Super! 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.
