    How are you tying the ratlines? I started a build of this same kit years ago and I am not a master you like you. I wanted to do something a little more pretty than the ugly molded ratlines that come with the kit. How are you tying yours? I had a problem that the shrouds were not stiff enough to tie to reliably.

    Thanks for the welcome lamarvalley, my current project is a Revell Cutty Sark (1:96) that I started years and years ago. I know that isn't much being plastic and all. I am about to graduate college next month and then I am starting another Revell Cutty Sark. My main goal there is just to get good at painting and such and I will do a build log. My overall goal is to begin modelling in wood maybe next year or so. The main thing holding me back is just cost. I am following your build log and several others too so that I can learn all I can about modelling with wood. I am extremely impressed with your workmanship too! Please, keep posting lots of photos!

    Hey, I am new here, and I am not the greatest modeler (though I hope to become one over the coming years). I just wanted to comment on the blackening of brass: washing all of the parts with detergent and then acetone may help a lot. Even the slightest bit of oil, even if it is just from your skin, will impede the blacking process (called bluing in other disciplines).

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.
