    Keeping up with a clean work area and a beautiful Bluenose.

    Second dry fitted mast in place. So far so good. But I never realised the shere height of masts from waterline .

    I didn't know we have stipulations how clean a shop can be..... tried to find it in our "by-laws".😆

    My masting in works. Sorry for America and Syren in the background.😁😉

    I have also shaped the masts (bottom parts). Once shaped the will get a coat of pine varnish and clear varnish on top of that.

    I have surely not payed enough attention to this girl, but in the background changes and movement forward has occured. One area is the cabin furniture, the skylight gave me some headache about centering. Then I thought about tape, this way I could get the skylight perfect in all locations.

    Bienvenue Docker, Warm welcome to ModelShipWorld. You have found one of the largest model ship forums in the world. Here you are not a number, here you have name. We all are looking forward to see what you are bringing us. Do you have any questions? Of course you will; and that is why we are here, to help you and to guide you. And hopefully you have great ideas to share with us.

    Ian, that a nice start of the rigging. You are getting close to an end.

    Juhu, I have to applaud you, your model and building technique is crisp and clean. Regarding the sails, i.e silkspan is a good option when it comes to furled sails. Experiment with this material; as adding layers can create problems and unrealistic shape, single layer will look better but is harder to put into place as it can or will tear easily. I have found a very thin silk (not silk span) at a fabric store called JoAnns here in the USA, that I will use on my Bluenose and America. But again very nice and sharp build you have done!

    Allan, Thanks for the input. So what is the difference between this Mainstay unit and Amacos that is three times more expensive and only goes to 300° https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-4-Slice-Black-Toaster-Oven-with-Dishwasher-Safe-Rack-Pan-3-Piece/110482692 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Amaco-Polymer-Clay-and-Craft-Oven/12347699 Maybe Chuck has a thought to add.

    I am to do more trials rope making tomorrow. I find it easy to do but hard to master after only a couple of tries. Am to buy a small counter top oven/roaster for my workshop intended only for rope. This in order to keep the Admiral happy.😉

    Wish I had those skills! Truly amazing and very beautiful.

    Melissa, very nice final outcome! You should be proud of yourself.
  16. Nirvana
    Melissa, beautiful build of yours and also a great introduction of you. Warm welcome to MSW.

    Thanks for that link! Very good.

    Bill, according to wikipedia (which can be wrong too), The future Lord Nelson served as Agamemnon's captain from January 1793 for 3 years and 3 months, during which time she saw considerable service in the Mediterranean.

    Ursnyggt! Very nice!
  20. Nirvana
    I like the dead eye setup. Nice job.

    Jonathan, I will certainly pay attention to the pitfalls you are mentioning when it's time for me to get going with my SF. Yours look real good.
  22. Nirvana
    Michael, I am impressed. Strauss, Mozart or Handel doesn't matter or any other of composer of that classical era. Back in 2009 a small (very small) group of the choral I sang with, went to New York to sing Mozart Reqium at Charnegie Hall under direction of John Rutter. However, I do think we have a lot of hidden talents within our group.

    HEIC is a singular picture format for Apple. This format has to be converted in order to be uploaded to an universal unit. Any phone can save pictures as a jpg. This can be set within your phone. Change the saving setting to jpg and you will be okay. Good luck

    Bolin, that looks real good. And yes,it is real hard to get the planks 100% perfect without any gaps.
  25. Nirvana
    James, from third person in the Pacific North-West of USA (me) a Warm Welcome to MSW! Regarding Bluenose, go with the Model shipway kit, the instructions are better.... unless the IKEA style of instructions is preferred, which is multi-lingual.😄

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.
