    Woody well done, looks great, keep up the good work. Love to sail a lighting again. cheers. Peter Rumgay

    Woody. Did receive you e-mail and sent pictures that l Hope help. Lightings of that era had mast tracks and slides very hard to reproduce at that scale and beyond my skills, that's why l went thin brass rod with very tiny rings to hold sail. Cheers Peter

    Woody l haven't worked out how to send pictures to MSW yet. I can send you pictures of my model if you sent me an e-mail drumgay@cogeco.ca. My turnbuckles came from a. J. Fisher models with some modification.Blocks came Cornwall model fittings (England) the corell line of ship model kits. The stainless wire rigging and halyards which make the model look so good came from Cornwall models as well. Mast & Boom track is made thin brass rod. I too purchase the Dumas kit but only used it as guide to build my lighting as the rib sizes were wrong. The block sizes on mine are out , make sure you scale them properly . You model is really coming along and going to look great. Peter.

    Wow, my father and l built Lighting 7759 in 1966 in our basement. We both shared a great love of sailing and ship model building. At 91 my father remembered he still had the blue prints of the Lighting and asked me to built him a model of our boat. I hope you have a much fun building your Lighting as l did because it brought back such great memories. Cheers, Peter Rumgay

    David, building two ships at the same time is beyond me, never mind planking two hulls. I have trouble enough just finding my way home. Both ships look great keep up the good work.

    David, My late father started Agamemnon at age 92 and he enjoyed every minute he spent building it.I know he would be thrilled that your going to complete the model and that it is in such capable hands. We should all be so lucky to be in the ship yard at that age . Hope you enjoy it as much as he did.

    Retired construction worker, life long sailor with a passion for collecting Canadian ship portraits.My ship model collection focus on Great Lakes schooners and their development over a fifty year period , each scratch built model is of a ship that was either owned or built in my home town of Port Hope. On my bench now is the North King a side wheel steamer that moved cargo and passengers between Canada and United States. This site has inhanced my skills and helped in fulfilling a life long dream of building good ship models. What a great hobby.

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.
