    Hi Mick, good to see you back for the moment, good luck with the op, like you say, ship building will hopefully take your mind off it until the time comes,which hopefully won't be too long and you'll be back fighting fit and building more. So, to the rigging. I hope to get the masts built up later today but am waiting for a new stock of cord to arrive before I can go much further. However, I have been studying the rigging plan very carefully, talk about confusing, it seems either a big photo copier or an array of mirrors would be useful as you need to see both sides of the plan and the instructions at the same time. I must say, this would have any beginner running for cover. Good luck for now. Ferret

    Hi Mick from another new comer, I am also building the "Will" and not far behind you, so, have been following with interest. Re your unidentified parts, post, 18th January, it is the engine throttle controland, if you look very carefully at drawing sheet 1, you will see a small square between the compass binicle and engine hatch, thats it. It took me ages to find it and I haven't worked out how tall it should be yet, I guess a little taller than the compass. Hope this helps as I agree with everyone elses views of Billings instructions. Good luck with it and if I can help further I will jump in. Also good luck with your health, I know how hard it can be.

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.
