    Your carvings are excellent, a wonder to behold. I work in 1/96 scale. I wish I had your skill in carving. - Hal

    On the copper plates, You can leave them bright. On the boats I ran the copper didn't turn brown/green until it was out of the water in the yard. Salty water is like sanding the copper on an active boat. Sitting at dock the above waterline copper will turn, but once moving through the water it turns bright as a new penny. That's how I remember it to be.-Hal

    I laminate thin wood ( like "plywood" ) to make my collars and hearts, then cut to shape. - Hal

    The first two books on your list would be the most useful for 17 th century ships' rigging, the others are mostly later. - Hal

    Hi Ron, I use dyed veneer to "paint" my ships. You can use a black dyed veneer for the wales. - Hal

    Remember the shroud length increases as they go aft ( mast head to deadeye ). I think it is harder to get the deadeyes even, rigging off the model. - Hal

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.
