    Thanks for the reply. Not sure what you mean by "open your log".

    Bought the subject model on eBay recently. Took a chance that the open box had content intact, except for instructions and thread for rigging, as advertised. Sold in "as is" condition. I lost - lesson learned. Most of it is there, but parts of masts are missing (so far). Wondering if someone out there may have the same model kicking around that was damaged beyond repair (I've seen stories about that on modeling blogs - cats wandering on shelves, a sudden gust of wind thorough an open window, etc.) that they are still hanging onto and might want to part with. Or maybe someonr can alert me to a source that they may have seen. From what I have read, it is a lost cause contacting Revell.

    Thanks Bowsprit, I'll check it out.

    OK, slightly off-topic, but I have a question on thread for standing and running rigging. Just purchased a 1/96 Revell model of Cutty Sark off eBay. No thread included, and no assembly instructions. Found instruction OK, but no idea on what size/gauge the thread should be. I know the standing rigging is Black and heavier than the running rigging which is Tan, but I'd like to get the thickness of the threas proportional to the scale of the model. Any suggestions? Thanks

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.
