    As suggested on my opening forum in New to MSW by Allan, I am opening this forum to solicit information/suggestions or insights in completing a model of the Roger B.Taney that I inherited. The model was started by my farther but was not completed. I am now working with a modeler at the SDGO Maritime Museum both fixing damage and trying to complete. I have attached photos to my open forum in New to MSW along with additional information. In studying the rigging and sails as inherited it appears that my father took liberties in design of the sail plan increasing the sail area to increase speed. As I look at the rigging it also appears that the modifications will not work as rigged(not complete). I have found a number of references but none address the specific rigging or the modifications. Any insight or assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul Decided to add photos...

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.
