    Thanks Steven I have the project of modelling a simplified version of the Saint-Philippe, a french at time of Louis XIVth, a three decked war ship, but I have first to read all the documentation (weight = 4 kg... 😘) At scale 1/48, it's a 1.20 m length baby :

    Some general views after Mizain installation :
  23. Chris.
    I understand you're right, latin rigging of Niña is 1492 dated The administration of MSW could perhaps move this log in Middle-age section, before 1500 AD ? I prepared this morning the mizain rigging :
  24. Chris.
    I found the latin rigging much more difficult than the classical squared rigging, it looks easy, but it isn't... About the classification of my built, sorry, am I also right : it's a scratch built, not a kit, and more, without verifiable historic source, following an original method, starting from logical reasoning to compensate for the lack of reliable documentation I hope that you will,nt be disappointed... 😘

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.
