Hello JesseLee, I'm not familiar with the plans on the rigging for the Syren, but there is a book: The Mastereing and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625 - 1860 / Lees, which could help you out. I've got my copy second hand and it is quite pristine. Unfortunately I cannot remember the price ... Maybe a library of some sorts could help you out if it is to expensive ... Or if you need specific information, I'm happy to scan some pages so you can see if it will be of any use - send me a PM with your requirements ... Cheers

The only rigging problem I currently see is the rigging taped to the outside of the bottle ... I'm certain you'll figure the problem out and solve it in the wink of an eye !!! Cheers

Wonderful work Ed ... I hope to be able to do a tenth of what you accomplish some time in the future ... I've been enjoying your build tremendously ... Something different than boats and belaying pins ... might I suggest blocks, and deadeyes ... (just pulling the proverbial legg) you'll find a distraction Cheers

Another Tool Addict ... didn't know Gremlin's were capable of seduction ... I know Tools muddle with the brain, especially tools you don't have ... they've got that special wavelength ... capable t tune into your brainwaves ... (WiFi like) ...

They look good, though. Both pictures and rigging .. You might use indirect lighting ... shine you lamps away from the subject on white paper or aluminum foil, a photographer's umbrella, etc ...or use transparent paper to diffuse the light ... which will make the shadows softer if any are left ... Cheers

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.
