    Creativity and ingenuity prevent everything being cookie-cutter. I couldn't be more delighted. Send me a couple of pix and a paragraph or two of your mods and I'll make it "model of the month" sometime. Nic

    Even though this ship has battens instead of ratlines, it still has ratlines every 5th batten to the outer shrouds.

    Once the battens are glued to the shrouds, the ends are clipped off and we have beautifully spaced and even battens.
  19. MrBlueJacket
    Now to add the battens. We developed a unique method to insure the battens are evenly spaced. We made a "batten ladder"

    When doing the chains for the Red Jacket, I first tied fine sewing thread to the chain, then stiffened the other end with CA glue. I think you will find it much easier. Nic

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.
