    This is definitely the most complete description I have read. I recommend it be a permanent part of the planking instruction in this website. Thank you dgreen10

    I really appreciate the info. I am grateful for the help in presenting different ideas. Sounds as if you are an ambitious builder (shipwright) Thank dgreen10

    I am writing just to ask if anyone can help me finding the way to bring the drastic (Sharp( form to the stern of the Cutty Sark. The planking is 2mm thick and 6mm wide thereby creating quite a challenge. I know it would be best if you had a picture but possibly someone has experience enough to help. What is the best way or manner to create this sharp and twisted bend? Thank YOu dgreen10

    I am just starting the Cutty Sark (Constructo).  It appears to be rather light weight or thin material in the frames and keel.  However, I have built it in the plastic (Revell) and it is a beauty.  Sure love to go to England and see the updated ship in Greenwich I believe.

    You might want to try building your own holder if you do considerable model work. The crux of the matter is square, square, square as we all know. dgreen10

    I am building Rattlesnake, the Mamoli company. I cannot figure out how to assemble the bow pieces number 15 and 16. Looking at the print leaves me without confidence in putting it together. If anyone has experience this ship and this assembly problem, I will appreciate your imput. It appears to me there is a problem gluing the above mentioned pieces on without making some correction to eith the false deck or the pieces themselves. Thank you so much. dgreen10

    How do I upload a picture for the finished scratch built gallery

  21. dgreen10

    I am in thimble of rehabbing an old 1880s model of a 2 mast schooner. The hull is finished and now I am working on the standing and running rigging. I have no plans so it is to be rigged based on my research and consolidation of information. I will post a picture of it in the next couple of says. I hope some one has similar experience and can maybe give me some feed back (help). dgreen10

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.
