    I've ordered a smaller diameter scale rope to replace the backets, so it looks more realistic. The rope provided in the kit was somewhat funky - wouldn't hold a knot and clearly to big for the model.

    Hello all, my name is Tom, and I am new to wood ship models. I built a lot of plastic kits as a kid, including sailing ships (I loved doing the rigging), but I was always intimidated by wooden models. I've now retired, and decided to try a wood ship. I chose the Model Shipways 3 boat set as my entry into the hobby. Just finished the dory. I think it's not bad for my first model in 50 years. I learned a lot building it, including not to be afraid of wood ship model kits. Now on to the Norwegian sailing pram.

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.
