    Looks like you already have some answers, Rich. If you're serious about getting the rigging right on your models, can I suggest you investigating purchasing a second hand copy of James Lees' "The Masting and Rigging Of English Ships Of War 1625-1860." You can probably pick up a copy off Abebooks for around $40 and you'll find it to be a very worthwhile investment. A more general and much smaller book is Lennarth Petersson's 'Rigging Period Ship Models", but that will probably set you back almost as much as a copy of Lees' book, so you might as well go for the gold standard.

    Welcome home Marc, and congratulations on completion of your build. John
  23. Jim Lad
    Rich, you are right in thinking that each yard is totally independent of the others and that there is no rigging running between yards. Perhaps if you could post a picture of your rigging diagram someone could shed some light on it. John

    Two builds at once! You must be in Covid-19 lockdown, Mario. John
  25. Jim Lad
    Looking very nice, indeed, Mario! 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.
