WalrusGuy Posted March 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2020 I have just purchased a Corel Greyhound kit and it will be arriving in a few weeks. This would be my second model (first was an Artesania Latina Virginia 1819 which I completed a couple of months ago). I am aware the Corel Greyhound kit does not have best instructions, and will require some scratch building. I looked over some Greyhound build logs and a user, Hamilton, mentioned he purchased the following two books: - The 20-gun ship Blandford by Peter Goodwin - The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625 - 1860 by James Lee I would love to hear some opinions on these books or is there any other resources I should be eyeing out for? Thanks a lot!

Jaager Posted March 3, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2020 Both are excellent books. There is no Arban manual for this endeavor - no single "answer-to-it". It is more like a hermit crab adding bits from here and bits from there and it can be a money sink. The NRJ back issue CD's and SIS CD's have a wealth of information. It would be wonderful if the same could be done for Model Shipbuilder. mtaylor, EricWilliamMarshall and uss frolick 3 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Jaager Posted March 3, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 3, 2020 The NRG link at the top of this page. (More) (NRG store) The guild store sells the CD's for both journals. You can also subscribe for the current issues. SIS and Model Shipwright no longer publish. There is a CD with issues of an even earlier journal that died - Model Ship Builder. mtaylor and EricWilliamMarshall 2 Quote NRG member 45 years Current: HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.
