    Hi, I have experience as a luthier, We use hide glue(available from Woodcraft supply). it comes in flake form dissolve in water @ 104 * F or find an new or old glue pot . all Violins etc. are glued together with hide glue very very strong but can come apart for maintenance and or repair. Many other trades used hide glue furnaturemakers etc.

    Not knowing where to start so I decided to build a rudder that was missing. I inserted a brass tube and pin to attach to the wheel post. I'll prime and paint to match paint or lack thereof on keel. Help would be greatly appreciated

    thanks for your rapid reply! I'm trying to learn to navigate your site. I'm not a digital/ web guy. Jewelers supply is a good lead I guess your opinion is I should try and reproduce the way the ship was originally made. All my research just shows rigging using string/rope nothing about chain. I'm comfortable with coming as close to the way it was originally built if I can. There are some major questions as I'm not a "Modeler" nor do I have plans on becoming one. I'm just a retired educator/artist/craftsman (sailor) that is constantly finding challenges I can't resist. Your and other suggestions are much appreciated!

    this is how I documented the removal of the masts and sails along with many photographs that have been printed and mounted in a journal

    what do I do next? I have carefully disassembled and documented down to the hull. I was surprised to find it still weighs 20lbs. I found out it's a poured keel and appears to be a carved hull possibly out of Basswood? I cleaned the decking with soapy water and "Q" tips about 100 "Q" tips and a toothbrush to remove 100+ years of grime and dust. after that lightly cleaning gunk with denatured alcohol got some bad spots off. Do I work on the deck Items (cabins,and hatches) first or restore and mount the masts? when working on the deck items a few were missing and some like the main one with rescue boats on top had the windows painted or on with paper decals now falling off. Question on the masts: all yardarms were hung with fine chains? along with metal casting around masts. should I be faithful to original and replace chain and where do I locate such fine chaining?

    Restoration scratch built Flying Cloud, This is my first clipper ship restoration . I'm not an experienced modeler. Scale ? Measurements 55 1/2" bow sprint to stern, 41 1/2 keel to top of Main mast 8" beam. original build possibly 1930"s just started taking apart and documenting one step at time. Finding things I did not expect like use of fine chain to attach yard arms to masts

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.
