    I had to jump in here if EJ doesn't mind, with my peal build I put wood dowels inside the plastic masts and use wood spars, this helps to strengthen everything to do with the riging. OC.

    Thank you kindly. OC.

    Yeah the unit was going vertualy free but I had to go over and diss-assemble it first, the person I got it from was pleased to see it go and wasn't sure it would come apart without damage, it did - I knew my old carpentry skills would come in useful. Best thing is - it fits a treat in the space I made for it. OC.

    I have a new home for the pearl and others built, I had to diss-assemble and re-assemble it yesterday, it is a mainly glass unit with a wood back - top and bottom, I have a few more kits to be built that will share the space when ready. OC.

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.
