    Does the gluing of painted parts give you any problems?

    I think this is as good as i can get it. Really learned a lot of what should and should not have been done first. It is a pretty good "stand-off scale" Also i ran out of 3mm and 6mm blocks.

    Making more progress with the Cutty. Tying a lot of knots. Not very pretty, but it is starting to look somewhat better. Knot counters won't like my knots, but I am learning. Still breaking a lot of old parts. I am going to start repairing these shortly. Terry

    If a person wants to be tested for dexterity and arthritis, Try some rigging on a model ship. It would have been soooo much easier to do this 15 years ago. I wish I would of had Squares link many years ago.

    After 15+ years of storage in a plastic bag, I am going to try and continue with this Constructo Cutty Sark. I, do have some full size plans, but no written instructions. First picture is freshly in covered. Second with some repairs. Third showing some really brittle fittings, what are they called? Fourth is more work done. I am not hopping for a scale build, but just getting it to look like a ship! Terry

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.
