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.
Rigging Instructions 1/96 Revell Constitution
in Masting, rigging and sails
Posted
Hello--I have become thoroughly confused by the newer instructions for my 1:96 Revell USS Constitution I have been working on now for close to two years, my first tall sailing ship model. Was wondering if anyone might be familiar with the newer instructions--BOOK 2--that could help me figure out what rigging steps I need to do to complete my model. I'd like to be able to put some sails on it, but not necessarily all sails on it, but still debating that. If someone more experienced than I am can offer me some advice, I'd be very grateful. Man, I am lost!!!
(From Book II of the instructions that came with the Revell kit:)
STEP 13-STEP 18 -- Running Rigging
STEP 19-STEP 26 -- Running Rigging
STEP 27-STEP 33 -- Running Rigging With Sails
STEP 34-STEP 41 -- Running Rigging With Sails
Oddly, the rigging diagram showing where the lines attach for STEP 13 is identical to STEP 27. The other two are different from each other. Each of the above steps has a ? before the title, which is Revell's way of usually indicating an option. If I want to rig my ship with sails, do I skip the steps marked Running Rigging and go directly to STEP 27 Running Rigging With Sails?
Thanks for any advice! TERRY
