    We're waiting to see your pics, Eamonn !
  2. drtrap
    And what about the size, I mean the diameter of the encircling line? Thanks
  3. drtrap
    Jason do you mean hypo gs cement? I can;t locate something like hypo gs glue, even I use my net browser...

    In the meantime, I just wonder: do I need any special rope material for the serving except those of the kit? Especially for the line that is encircling each mainrope, what kind of material and size is needed? Thank you all, one more time. Stergios

    Ok folks, that it was, I've placed my order. Next days I'll be waiting to receive the serving device. With your experienced skills and help I'm sure that I'll do my better, best. Stergios

    I agree Eamonn, I'll send a query to be sure that I can remove the motor to turn the procedure to a manual function.... Cheers

    Hello again mates. About that additional power option of the serving machine.... Do you consider it as an important feature except the basic 2.0 edition of the serving machine? Thanks
  8. drtrap
    I've sent a querying application to Alexey.....
  9. drtrap
    Thank you all of you guys, I really do appreciate your comments and encouragement.... Still in debate, but I'll see what I can do!
  10. drtrap
    Another question: are any instructional tutorial/videos on what a serving machine can "perform"? Thanks again
  11. drtrap
    Jim, I have no experience with serving.... Is there any help or manual about the basic steps? Thanks
  12. drtrap
    Cheers Eamonn I'll try to melt the debris the way you mentioned, thank you! About the serving tool.... is not a matter of money, is a matter of time! I believe that thte remaining time to finish "Snake" will be seriously increased with serving, that's why I continue to resist and try to do my best to accomplish the rigging section without any serving machine... Thanks again... Stergios
  13. drtrap
    Echo this! How are you trimming those knots Jim?
  14. drtrap
    Some times I think to buy a serving tool but every time I change my thoughts....

    Trying to fit the burton pendants... I used black line 1mm from the kit and passed it three times on natural wax.... The wax's debris are inevitable (?) especially on the black rope... Last pic after the debridement and a light black paint...

    Fine work Jim, I like that contrast to the shrouds. Do u use the lines of the kit or aftermarket supplies? Have u used any kind of beewax in advance? Thanks.
  17. drtrap
    Great job Jason!
  18. drtrap
    A lot of questions...about the shrouds and the mizzen mast... Should I start making loops in the middle of each line and creating that way a double line running towards a respective pair of deadeyes? At what distance from the mast should I make the seizing of each pair of line? Thank you all.
  19. drtrap
    I try to finish all the peripheral fittings before the final rigging-battle of the masts and their components
  20. drtrap
    Jigs for the 5mm and 3,5mm deadeyes laynards are ready
  21. drtrap
    Hi Jason, do you have any information about the length of the burton pendants? Is there any length difference between those of mizzen mast and those of main mast? I'm studying "Rigging period ship models" but olny the plans are illustrated.... Thanks.
  22. drtrap
    Jason, Mort thank you again for your assistance... That is really what I wanted to do....
  23. drtrap
    I think that the best option is to form this kind of loop for the double 55mm block. It seems more historically accurate, I don't know whether exist any comment for this... Thanks
  24. drtrap
    Hi Mort and thank you. Did you place it in the middle of the last crosstree?
  25. drtrap
    Hi everybody, as a question, in brief..: that K (5mm double block): it is a single one in the middle of the last crosstree of the mizen-lowermast or it is a pair of blocks arising from each tressletree? I was looking all the evening your posts and pics with no clear result. Thanks for sharing. Stergios

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.
