    If you're re-doing the footropes, consider using fine wire. It can be shaped to have realistic curvature. Go to this link and then to post #251

    Very similar - they are both 3-masted extreme clippers. Arrangement of deck furniture is a little different. FC - 225 ft, built 1851 Boston by McKay RJ - 251 ft, built 1853 Rockland by Thomas

    Hi, We looked at some of our older kits. We did re-introduce the USS Perry (similar to Cabot) and we have the Red Jacket to replace FC. Otherwise, no plans. Nic

    Is your hull shiny or dull? If dull, then a coat of flat clear will hide the shiny glue, but not the bump. Perhaps some careful sanding will help. I would worry about debonder, try it on a prepared piece of scrap first. 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.
