    When you buy the kit, we send you a 124 page PDF monograph with step-by-step instructions. Toni's instructions are very detailed. Mary NRG Office manger

    Don't forget that NRG members get a 20% discount when using the NRG discount code on this kit and most other items in our webstore. If you are not an NRG member, this is a good reason to join! Memberships start as low as $40 per year and you would save over $25 on the rigging kit with your membership. If you are an NRG member and forgot the code, please PM me or contact our office by email (NRGhomeoffice@gmail.com) and I can give it to you. Sorry - only paid NRG members get the code. Mary

    Toni is at the IPMS conference in Wisconsin this weekend. I'll make sure she sees your question when she gets back. We have a saw jig that is available, but if you are cutting the wood manually, toni would probably have some better suggestions than I can offer. Mary

    I have to send your name in to Jim Hatch and he puts them up. I did that just now, so you should see your logo soon. 😁

    17 people have purchased the kit so far (including you). Yours was shipped out less than an hour ago. Have fun with the build! Mary

    If you missed the live presentation, the video of this workshop will be up on the NRG website soon. If you weren't an NRG member at the time, join now and you, too, can see the presentation of that workshop and other previous NRG workshops!

    Hey everybody! Spring is almost over, but we are nowhere near reaching our goal to keep this great site going. Our admin work hard to bring you the best model ship forum around. How about showing them some love by making a donation today to support this website? Donate $10 or more by the end of June and we will send you an MSW sticker (looks just like the MSW logo!) Send $15 or more and we will send you TWO MSW stickers. Be sure to add your address to your PayPal payment, or send a message to Mary, our office manager, at NRGhomeoffice@gmail.com so she knows where to send your sticker(s). PS - Yes you can get 2 NRG stickers or 1 of each if you prefer. 😁

    We just activated it in the store a few minutes ago. We have an initial batch of 25 ready to go. If they start going fast we will order more parts right away! Mary

    I noticed that, too. If the white lines are cotton, they could be moth eaten, whereas the dark lines, being stained, were not affected. I have never seen such bad lines!

    Hi Dindsy, Sorry to say, you may want to redo the rigging. You won't be able to properly treat it with anything while the rope is on the model, and even with treatment, it may appear lumpy. Bob is right that you may want to invest in rope from Ropes of Scale. They have excellent rope and it is properly dyed so the colors are smooth and even. I have handled a lot of their rope and have never had problems with it turning fuzzy or fraying. They are an MSW sponsor, so you can reach their website by going to the MSW homepage and looking for their banner ad on the right side of the page about halfway down. Mary PS - I didn't mean to exclude Syren in my recommendations. They are the best in the US for blocks and rope, but Chuck is so busy that you might get the rope faster from Ropes of Scale.

    WOO HOO!!!! Mary

    Don't forget that MSW is "Open" 24/7. There are people who visit this site at all hours of the day and night. There are also members who browse without logging in, so you don't see them, but they are there. They have to eventually log in to see certain parts of MSW (the build logs, for example). I think I've seen as many as 500 people logged in at once, but usually it's between 200 and 300. Mary

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.
