    First  -   Welcome to MSW!!!   

    USUALLY the standing rigging is dark brown or close to black and the running rigging tan or beige.  To figure the line diameter, wrap the line around a ruler for an inch and count the number of wraps and divide into 1 which will give you the diameter.   There are very few rigging line suppliers available anymore so you may have to just go with thread that is close in color and size from your local  fabric store or look on the internet.    You can try to contact the kit manufacturer as well.  As you are new, making your own rope may not be something you want to get into,,,,,, yet.

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.
