    I have been working on old pond boots for a while now. my work is to preserve as close to original as I can. boats pre ww2 tended to use cotton, lineal.silk, flax or wire. a good supply for these natural lines is fishing lines. I have been buying a stocking my shop with it for years. ebay is a good source. Etsy and google search will lead you to some. if the boat is old and unrestored I will darken the new looking line with shoe polish or wood stain to make them look old. here is a link of a book I scanned with all pages to build a marblehead yacht but could be scaled down for a starter build. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=347828308200014&set=pcb.347828588199986

      I am putting the finishing touches on a 50" Marblehead pond yacht I started last year at the wooden boat school in brooklin maine.I need to finish the rigging and add a pin stripe to the hull today. we have sailed it before painting and it is amazing on the water. radio control is two channel and controls the rudder and sails. I will do a build log with 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.
