    I am also building this, my second I build the J Class ends our first then wanted something more challenging. Noticed a couple of mistakes (I think) for the main mast chain plates the instructions show it the wrong way round so the gun port is obscured. Because I had already done it I moved one of the lines and moved the link I clears the port now. Doing the rigging and found another issue the bowsprit is extremely delicate and I snapped it off whilst turning the boat around, going to leave the repair until I have finished the main mast rigging to avoid doing it again. I have the same question about the spreaders though and will j be adding a line from the end of the outriggers down to below the figurehead and a block up to the foredeck to hold them down. I started to wipe the thin raw lines with beeswax to get rid of the ‘furry’ look it also helps with keeping the knots in lace without having to use CA Thinking about what to do next though

    John Hoping you can help, i have just started to build the Endeavour J Class 1:80 model from Amati, unfortunately i had to order the kit from France  so i now have instructions in Italian and French.

    If you still have your instructions would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the English version?

    Cheers

      One more thing,,,,,   The summary PDF attached in the last note was scanned in from A4 paper (being a French kit and all).   So when you attempt to print it out you will need some A4 paper or adjust your printer to reduce the print to 8.5x11 paper

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.
