    paul ron's post in Question on Sails was marked as the answer   
    i searched the net n cant find any reference to tells on square riggers. i think i saw something in one of my books about the anatomy of a sail on square riggers.

    are you thinking of reefers?
     
    reef lines... H
    the rows of short ropes are used to reef the sail... shorten the sail. 
     
     

     
    perhaps on square riggers, they may have used the pendants or flags as tells?

    paul ron's post in Looking for crew members 1/100 scale was marked as the answer   
    ive been looking for crew as well. so far, there are many threads in the forums about 3d printing them as well as finding figures for model railroads that can be modified and repainted to fit your needs. you would think finding proper scale figures being so difficult to find raises the question why hasnt anyone capitalized on this market yet? too small, not enough demand, just not worth the time?
     
    i did find one place mentioned in those threads that has figures...

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.
