    thank you Ross - Yes I am attempting the Amerigo Vespucci by Occre. (Great detective work) - I know it is above my skill level but when I saw this ship in the water (on YouTube) it gave me chills so I wanted it in my living room. yes I do indeed have 1mm holes at the end of the yards. I will have to study more about these sheet lines you all speak of. Roger I think you hit the nail on the head with your explanation. I wish they would at least show this line clearer in the photos. Some of the sails are set, while others not and they don’t really have a good photo showing this particular line on the furled (or half furled) sails. Mark P - thank you as well, it’s so complicated, the rigging, and I am going to get this book as well… ‘I do have some of these books mentioned, but I have a problem with transferring the info into the current builds - sometimes I don’t even know what I’m looking for. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated - cheers

    Hello everyone! Pardon ahead of time for my naval ignorance, I’m an old retired woman who loves to make model ships - but I don’t know much about how they work- just love how they look. . I’m wondering if one of you learned and experienced model ship builders can tell me from this diagram what to do. Let’s just take JT-99 on lefts side, and follow it from start to finish. My confusion is this.. so I should tie a line to top mid yard (left) then Do I tie it to the end of the same top yard and then tie to the sail below it at the bottom left corner then travel it through eyes of the yard below, etc.? I would appreciate your help very much. I’m stuck. Cheers, linda

    Hello everyone- hope someone can help me. The diagram I’ve attached is from the rigging plans - see where I have circled -j43,j44,j45,j89 etc -they have 8 threads going under this structure, but there are points to tie off the threads under this structure , I don’t understand why the lines are all going there. ?No pins or cleats. What do you do in the situation? Should I add pins under it? Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I will be taking your advice and researching with a bit more insight.  I don’t think my skill level is would justify the cost of the vanguard ships!  But they look awesome.

    Hi guys, I am a novice and attempted to build the Endeavour by AL years ago - I ended up so frustrated with the cheap materials and very bad instructions, I scraped it. Now I’m 66, looking for a Gratifying hobby so thought I’d give it another go. After reading many of the comments, I’ve narrowed my next model brand between Caldercraft or Occre. May I please have your experienced and expert opinions on which one to get? I’m interested in clear instructions and good quality. thanks - Linda
