    Awesome! Looks like I found it. There is a rope chart found at the site Jaager sent ( http://www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com/miniature-rope.php) and I was able to match up what I needed. That site also converts from standard to metric. Turns out I need .012 standard (or .3mm). Just goes to show that one is never too old to learn! Thanks again everyone! :-)

    Thanks a ton folks. This is indeed helpful. I now see that I was in error though. It is calling for .3, .6 and .9 mm flax thread. The orignal rigging thread that was in the box and listed as "medium" and "thick" is fairly stout and somewhat rigid (great for getting through the knots!). I assume they would be the .6 and .9mm thread mentioned in the newer instructions. I'll take a look at the sites listed and report back. Thanks again!

    I have a very old Aurora/Heller 1/50th scale model of the French ship class "Le Chebec". I have finally gotten it mostly together, but I have run out of the rigging thread then supplied. Heller now makes the same ship by themselves and I was able to download the new instructions. They now say the thread is not supplied and that I need .03mm, .06mm and .09mm Flax Thread (beige). I can't seem to find this anywhere locally (in NC, USA) and no luck on the internet. Can anyone provide a tip for where to find this? So close after 30+ years to finishing this model.... Thanks in advance for any help!

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.
