Good luck! I have this book as well and this is one I’m considering for my first scratch build too. Am very interested in following your journey. Thanks for sharing.

The rigging section on this website has lots of information on rigging. YouTube has plenty as well. Also Google searches can probably give you specifically what you’re looking for. I did all this when I rigged my first model and it worked out well. Good luck. It all gets easier as you gain more experience.

NRG Rigging Project by tlevine

Fantastic idea Toni! I recently completed the NRG’s Planking Tutorial that you were instrumental in developing. That was very educational. I’ll be purchasing once available. Should prove useful when I get to rigging the Mayflower I’m currently working on. Thank you for creating this!- 29 replies

David, I ended up doing the same on mine. I think it’s a manufacturing issue with the kit. Shims resolved the issue for me. Below is how mine turned out. Very educational and worthwhile.

Before beginning the planking process in Chapter 2 I wanted to learn and practice a bit more . To help with my skills I’ve been working through the planking skill building project that’s offered through the NRG. A very helpful tool! If you want some additional training and practice this is a wonderful resource. I’ll begin Chapter 2 once I’ve completed this half hull. Happy New Year 🎊 everyone!

That’s what I did when I built mine. No regrets…would do the same again.

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.
