    Make sure you seal the paper on both sides with a clear sealant to protect it.

    You’ll have to make a new account. The old ones didn’t transfer from their old website.

    Greg, Absolutely incredible work!

    It’s a Type 1934a Destroyer. I ran a quick search for a model kit of a Type 1934a Destroyer on Google and several kits turned up. You should be able to alter the markings to match the Z13.

    The sprit sail is on and with it, the running rigging commences! Needless to say, the sprit sail has several more rigging lines to be installed. This is only my second ever square/ship rigged ship. The first was Mamoli’s 1/100 Endeavour which had greatly simplified rigging and no sails. That one, built a decade ago, took me something like 3 months to rig. It was an 18 month build overall. Hopefully, I do better this time. I spent about four hours today studying the rigging plan to make sure I understood it.

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.
