    I am presently building the Cutty Sark. I had finished the hull several years ago, and have now decided to carry on with the rigging. I am still at the reading stage, and gleaning all information I can to make my task easier. Anyone who can give me hints on making my task easier, is welcome to contact me. I also speak German, and notice that there are extremely high numbers of Modelers in Europe. Thanx, and Gruess Gott

    Hallo Mirabell61, I am building a model of the Cutty Sark, and am running into the same problems you have explained here. I managed to obtain the hollow thread you used for your sails, and it seems to work well. I see you used stainless steel with the thread to shape the sails. I still have a few questions about the sewing of the sails. I am not going to try the sewing, but I have a neighbour that is able to do that for me. My email address is ike@telus.net, and I live on Vancouver island on the West Coast of Canada, and would like to make contact with you, so that I can relay instructions to my neighbour. I spent 14 years in Germany while I was in the Canadian military, and did learn some German. Ich hoffe bald von Ihnen zu hoehren. Bis dann, Viele Gruesse, Heinz

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.
