I'd say Vanguard or Syren. Both are very innovative is both kit design and documentation. Both have their manuals online. Syren's are here and Vanguard's are on their site. Both have development logs here on MSW.

Between Chris and Chuck, they're both leaving the rest in the dust. Instead of just following the "this is the way it's always been done", they're innovating.

Mark, Look up Dockyard Model Company chisels. They have or had excellent tools. I have four of their sets and they are wonderful. Last time I checked their products were available at a couple of places. -

Here's how to do a log... https://modelshipworld.com/forum/160-read-before-you-start-your-scratch-build-log/ -
I would think that the shrouds would prevent mast movement under sail. But, rope does stretch so maybe this is somewhat of a fail safe kind of thing.

Shipwreck of the schooner Ironton found in Lake Huron
mtaylor replied to DelF's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I think so but there are those who will ignore it and basically destroy the site as far as research and preservation is concerned. Even naval war graves (sunk during battle) have been destroyed. -

Welcome to MSW, Al. That looks to be a excellent project of a rare model. Feel free to open a Restoration log in the Scratch Area. By doing that, you might get more info and also help as needed and we get to watch. -
Welcome to MSW, Ralph. Beautiful work on the Bellona.

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.
