Hi Daniel, Which wood did you use for the masts and spars (antennas) ? Is it pear ? I'm thinking of using red cedar, what is your idea ?

Hi riggers, Did someone tried this already ? I have the idea of putting furled sails on all the spars, staysails and jibs. And this on a 1/48 the scale model. Can I get advice on how to do it and kind of materials. I was thinking about using silk paper. I would be grateful for all the input of the local experts. Thanks in advance Marc

Hi riggers, Did someone tried this already ? I have the idea of constructing and assembling the masts and spars off-site. I mean: putting the shrouds over the mastheads, but let them hang loose. Putting the assembled spars with furled sails onto the masts, etc. And then, later on, installing the completely assembled masts on the ship, tensioning the shrouds, etc It would be much easier to handle all those bits and pieces. I would be grateful for all the input of the local experts.

Hi, There is also a Swiss company selling very nice blocks. But why not making them yourself ? -

Hi guys, I'm using Egyptian gassed cotton 185/2 as serving thread. I think it's OK for my 1/48 build. -
Hi Michael, You've got mail.

Hi, I'm using Egyptian cotton 185/2 as the serving line. It's the thinnest I could find in Europe. -

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.
