    Thanks John! Rick

    Really nice looking model! The sail looks great! what color paint did you use? Rick
  16. Rick310
    George, Jared, Thanks for your responses! Looking ahead, it looked to me that the given sizes looked really large on the model. On both of your builds, the rigging looks really good! Therefore I’ll follow the plans, adjusting where it looks appropriate! Rick
  17. Rick310
    George, I understand how the sizes work for the standing rigging, what I was asking was how many different sizes of rigging line did you use and how closely did they approximate the sizes given on the plans for the FF at 1 to 96 inch scale? Rick
  18. Rick310
    George, an unrelated question. How did you determine what size rigging line for the standing rigging to use? When I check line close to the given sizes given on the plans, it looks awfully big. Thanks, Rick

    Unbelievable Keith! Truly breathtaking work! Incredibly accurate! Rick
  20. Rick310
    Very nice! Rick

    Looking good Jared! You keep inching closer to the finish line! Well done!! Have a Happy New Year! Rick

    Incredible Kieth, truly incredible!! Rick
  23. Rick310
    Looking forward to that! Rick

    I decided to put the mast sections together to see how they look and to check for alignment. Still want to add some blocks and rigging line, but that is going to take some time as I figure out the sizes and lengths and prepare the lines. Also , started to make the jib boom. Merry Christmas to all! Rick

    Really well done!! Rick

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.
