    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

    Can't give you a definitive answer, but James Lees, in his book, "The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War" states that crows feet were generally not in use after the end of the eighteenth century and they are certainly not rigged on 'Victory' as she is preserved today - supposedly as she was at Trafalgar.

    Love the use of the rocks, Eric. Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall reading that the Vikings used large stones to hold timbers to shape while soaking in water, so an excellent period method in use there. John

    Maury, some good advice there from Allan. Just like an aircraft, a ships hull has very few flats or straight lines - I can only agree that your best bet is to check out the planking tutorial right here on MSW before you start the actual planking. John

    Hello Daryl, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. I'm not familiar with the merits of different kits for a newcomer to the hobby, but I'm sure someone will chip in with some good advice. John

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.
