    For a ship of 1/72 scale, what would be the correct diameter for the running and standing rigging. The supplied line is out of scale.

    Merhaba kutakara, nasilsiniz. bluenose2 here. I was in Turkery 3 years ago and hiked down from Taksim square to the hobby shop and purchased this boat. It is next on my build list. Good to see your photos, I will follow your build. The instructions are in Turkish, but I will have them translated. Iyi aksamlar good luck.

    hello dragzz. bluenose2 here. I am on the final leg of my build of this schooner. A good web site for reference photos is hazegray.org. It shows the correct colouring for the boat as the Billings is incorrect for this build. You will encounter some scratch building such as for the aft pulley covers for the rudder control chain work. Also Blue Jacket ship crafters supplied me with far more accurate davits, search light and turnbuckles. They also provide accessories for the wheel house if interested. I have some pictures of my build log under bluenose2 if your interested. Good luck!

    Hello Les calling. With old decals such as yours it's a lost cause. I have had this happen to me as well as old decals shattering when soaked. Now I scan all decal sheets into the computer and save them. I can print them out using clear or white decal paper I get from my hobby shop or online. Spray with a fixative and apply. Hope this helps.

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.
