    Your attention to detail on your rigging is fantastic. I really appreciate you sharing all the detailed photos and explaining everything. It's really helping me understand how it's done. I'm doing my first rigging on a simple schooner and this really helps. Thank you.

    I've only gone through and looked at your photos but plan to go back and read all your posts. Your Speedy looks amazing and you have convinced me that I need to get this kit.

    Thank you for letting me know. I'll start saving up.

    Erik, I've been going through your build log for a third time. One reason is that I want to learn as much as I can but also because your photography is really beautiful. I'm an amateur photographer and really appreciate seeing you work. I was wondering one thing. In one of your photos you show Cheerful on your work area. Do you do your dusty work there? It's amazingly neat and clean.

    Wow, she looks absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine this as a second build.

    May I ask how much it was? I need to start saving for one.

    I know this is an old thread. These are some great ideas. I have a question though. My Serv-O-Matic binds a little bit so is not smooth. Is there any way to help it run smoother? Will it break in?
  29. alde
    I picked up some sheet stock a little while ago to try cutting it out. I think it's the best way to go.
  30. alde
    It's not much. I'm going to the local hobby shop to get some sheet brass and plastic and try both. I'll try bending the brass strip to.
  31. alde
    Not U shaped. It would be 2 separate pieces about the length of 2 stations. About 2" long.
  32. alde
    Yes, it will be painted. I didn't think of using plastic. That would sure be easier.
  33. alde
    Thanks for the help. The brass strip supplied in the kit is 3/32" x 1/64" and would be bent on the larger dimension. I think you guys are right about cutting it from a brass sheet. The radius would probably be around 10" give or take.
  34. alde
    Can anyone recommend a method of making a large radius edge bend of brass strip? I'm making a sheet metal guard to go on top of the railings at the bow, around the anchors on my Glad Tidings.

    "Pretty well"? I think it looks fantastic. Mine is a complete hack job in comparison.

    She's looking really nice.

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.
