    Another visual update. There is not left to do. Tidying up the lines and some touch up painting. This has been a great journey.

    55 or 57?

    Mike, I am joining this group too, just found the couch and the pop-corn.
  4. Nirvana
    Nice Bel-Air!

    Pierre, That's a nice start. I like the setup with the build ramp. Wish they have the same on MS ships. Knowing the height or angle from the beginning without having to measure it yourself.

    Steve, I used lines from Chuck, really good investment! When it came to the seizing I used the poly/cotton thread from the fabric store.

    Steve, that looks so nice having the mast on the side. It's a very clean setup.

    My Second decided it was time, time for the night.

    Phil, good choice of kit! And Ibrahimovic with United seems to be a good combination too......

    Nick, As far as I understand the plans the bulkhead tops are to beveled before inside planking commence. What does the instruction say? So, the deck can be installed prior any bulkhead tops are trimmed. Please disregard the three sentences above.

    Bob, Are you going try to simulate the sheets of steel on her? Or do you think the scale is to small for such adventure?

    How about three minutes epoxy. Gives you a little window to work and no clamps needed, use needles instead.

    The funny thing is that the Longboat was a Christmas gift from her.

    Getting there, Now it's time to get the bowsprit installed and doing the final part of rigging. Some paint touch up and then give it to my Admiral. It was her birthday last Friday. Couple of days late, but still.
  16. Nirvana
    Bug, I think Augie is smiling now and am very greatful letting you do the final job. My hat off to both of you.

    Aah, a friendly face has appeared on MSW after some absence. Welcome back Floyd.

    At one time sailing my T37 I lost rudder control, it was hard to her back just using the sails but I was able to do it. You were lucky!

    In order to get the shrouds equally I used the deadeye claw while tying the opposite side. Think it worked out fairly nice. I am intending to work the shroud tying just like when doing tighten up nuts/bolts on the wheels of the car, crosswise. This way they will be equally taught.

    I am so glad having Lennart Petersson's book regarding rigging. I needed details of connecting the deadeyes. Perfect illustrated on page 2.

    Bug, That is a very nice setup you have for photo sessions. Good use of a table tennis unit. Back in Sweden in my early days I had a Stiga too. Useful for many things.
  22. Nirvana
    Oh, I really like the possibility of uploading many pictures at one and the same time.
  23. Nirvana
    Well, I am into rigging and things are coming together. This is a lot of fun. I am enjoying it tremendously! Here are a few pictures I took with my phone. Not the best but showing what is going on.

    Similar tape can be bought from car paint shops. They have a very nice flexible blue tape that does the trick. I don't know about the price difference, but would guess the tape from a car paint shop should be slightly cheaper. But when it comes to the pinnace I am surprised of the difficulties involved. I would have guessed the pinnace would have been little easier than the longboat. This due to it's size. But Mike, you have done a fantastic job and recovery of her.
  25. Nirvana
    Oh, and as for the divider, make sure the needles are replaceable. Now back to the build of the Gunboat - Mike take over.

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.
