    This one is finished and ready for the show.I went a very light rust for a ship probably could of gone lighter seeing I did nothing with the deck area but it was to be a clean build but once men hit the decks that changed. FYI when I over did the rust I used those rubber brushes to remove it it worked frigg'in excellent!!

    They are isolators Mike their is actually a lot more on Chikuma than what I depicted.I believe they operated much like on a plane to keep the line from vibrating so much in the wind.I used Mike the same glue we use for making clear glass.

    I am getting really close here on this one being completed the men are the PE started realizing I can been them?Duh!The flag is paper from a spares box the colors look more natural and easy to fold.That's all for now.

    Mike I use a medium CA glue sticking to plastic yeah an accelerator helps but the line to line No-No man I got caught a few times instant bond fighting it to come loose.I have some men may put back there on the flight deck?

    So,this is were I am at the rigging is completed I tried quite a few times to get a sagging line that is not hard getting two next to each other do the same thing.I finally in the end went a taut line though one or two are to taut that area out front of the SS was a little of a PIA till I just backed off an maybe try Mike's idea about some sprue for curved line on Mogami.I knocked off some planes that need to be reattached and the decals for the sternwith some touchups in paint..

    It's not an issue for you up there Eric but 90miles from New Orleans we have Formosan Termites little bastards and they are ravenous. I used the shavings from planing all the way around the shop base since mine is pole barn built.I know you are more excited than us here but will be nice to see the walls go up I like building like that kinda like that treehouse guy.

    It was worth it Craig sometimes I go WTf! Why?

    And significantly stronger way stronger.I notched my rafters for a shed were they met the walls then ran a member from wall to wall on the rafter with two angled uprights from the cross member to the rafter.I have three Oaks in my back yard one is 7/8' in diameter to which I lost 2X limbs during Katrina one landed on that shed 's roof bounced off and laid against the back wall.The limb was about 14/18" thick and 30/35' in length it was heavy no damage at all needless to say the workshop got the same treatment.That aromatic Cedar is some beautiful wood and smells so good when cut.

    Some common thinking going about.....?
  16. Javlin
    Eric does G lay on top or my thinking F/G are notched? I like working cedar strong enough but easy to sand made my last door for the shop out of Cedar will be my last termites 2x.

    See I was thinking those lines were for radio com. but they are for flags.Now what about when not in use they are fairly taut?He gave a big bend to give the effect of movement.wind.The drawings still show taut for the most part and with the double line means a pulley thus flags learn every day.
  18. Javlin
    I usually see radio and turret targeting lines to sag.So the lines out front of the bridge and the ones in this case off the rear mast there's a radio station in the mast.The four lines off the main mast I would go fairly taut never seen in drawings otherwise.You could prove me wrong though.
  19. Javlin
    I luv rigging!Thks
  20. Javlin
    I am now working the the lines for the SS probably 15/20 more out front it's hard to get a sag?Maybe I need to go to stretched sprue?Some pics............
  21. Javlin
    Sanity!!
  22. Javlin
    A multiple front kind of Guy? Looking good Craig.
  23. Javlin
    I was hoping they did this one since I am about to embark on a new project.I thinks it would be neat to build that portion of deck from beam-to-beam(?) with all the goodies on deck?
  24. Javlin
    I have thought about getting one of these myself was waiting to see a build.
  25. Javlin
    The fact you have do this to handle/build takes me out of the equation Nice Work!

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.
