    Inspirational, Alex. I have never seen a better build than your Cumberland. Doug

    I am here to follow and cheer you on. My first tall ship build was the Revell Cutty Sark )1:96) kit from 1969. It is still proudly displayed in my parents home. I was a youngster with keen eyes and a steady hand then but I still build the model ever so often to remind myself of how great the experience was. My main recommendations: use brass eyebolts for any "load bearing" rigging, use wooden or metal blocks (usually the smallest size available): and fashion your jib boom and top masts out of wood by duplicating their plastic counterparts. These are the parts that break over time. Also, make sure you wax all your standing lines.

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.
