    Please forgive me if my questions seem rather elementary. This would be my first sail ship…… - I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the instructions. I’m to the point in the process where I’m running the thread rigging. The instructions have an “A”, “B”, and “C” options? (This is confusing me) Would this be 3 different detail levels? - If so, at what point do I add the sails? The instructions shows adding sails, followed up by more rigging without the sails? (It’s blowing my mind, dude!)🤪

    and auto racing enthusiast and competition driver (40 yrs of amateur sports car road racing) now old and retired from working and racing. In my retirement, I’ve revived my love of model building. Most of my 100 plus kits are of race cars. (Go figure) But, as a 6 year Veteran and Petty Officer in the world’s finest Navy, I’ve done a handful of ship builds too. Most of them are of warships from my era. I found and assembled resin kits of the two destroyers I served on, an aircraft carrier, a battleship, and my only sailing ship was a very small and simple Bonhomme Richard. (I don’t remember the manufacturer.) A couple of years ago, I was gifted a Revell Cutty Sark from a friend who bought the kit but he never got around to it. I didn’t realize that Revell made this kit in two scales. I got the smaller scale. (1/220?…..please correct me if wrong) I’m pretty deep into the assembly and should be rigging soon. This is where I’m may need some advice. Peace/Love, (old hippie) ✌️ Jack

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.
