    Possibly the smaller unit was for "warping" the ship? I do know that sometimes both were used in unison with the "little nippers" scurrying quickly with the gaskets to purchase the hawse

    Many thanks for the welcome

    Regained an interest in model boat building again so thought I would say hello. I have built many kits in the past and have a stash that I may start on soon. Very keen to model 17th century ships but possibly 5th rates or the new "Frigate" construction. If anybody knows a good set of plans from NMM of this period it would be appreciated but from my search most drafts are from around 1720 onwards. Shame that drafts were not the norm then rather than 1/4 scale replicas. I have done quite a bit of 3D modelling work for Flight Sim and the last commercial release was Aerosoft's F14 Tomcat and the Kitty Hawk which I modelled. Finalising the Eagle for release soon. Hope to learn and contribute if qualified.

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.
