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.
Question about Spinnakers & Stunsails
in Masting, rigging and sails
Posted
Hello,
I am a ship enthusiast and filmmaker. I am currently working on a project that requires us to build a model of our ship for green-screen VFX shots. We are building scale model of a late 18th Century full-rigged ship styled after the Columbia Rediviva at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA.
We want the ship to have an imaginative, fantastic quality to it and so we are considering putting two giant sails on both sides of the main-mast that would fly from the main topgallant mast all the way to the deck. Would this be considered a spinnaker or stunsail? Also, if this were a real ship, would it be even possible?
Thanks,
Strangway
