    Welcome home Marc, and congratulations on completion of your build. John

    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

    Looking very nice, indeed, Mario! John

    I've never used a plank bending tool, Troy (I steam my planks), but if they're breaking with just a little pressure it sounds like the wood is extremely brittle. You could try soaking them in boiling water for a few minutes and see if that makes any difference. John

    Rob, as far as I'm aware, the studdingsail yards were stowed with the sails. John

    Malas, at the mast head there is either a collar (a step in the mast) cut in at the height of the shrouds and forestay, or small thumb cleats fixed to the mast at this height. John

    G'day Paul, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That looks like work on your longboat. John

    More delightful work, Keith. Those pad eyes down aft look like they're made for some pretty heavy duty work. One could almost take them for towing brackets except this is a yacht and there aren't any towing leads near the one you show. Is there anything large and heavy in the vicinity that would need some serious lashing down? John

    A great job - especially on your first wooden model. Congratulations! John

    You've certainly made a good start on the whaler restoration! John

    It's been a while since I looked in, but she's certainly coming along nicely. 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.
