I'm coming to the end of my Beagle build, and I can only confirm that the instructions get worse the further you go. When we get to the rigging, the paper instructions are completely wrong and omit essential connection points, the video instructions for the same ropes don't make it clear what goes where, but firmly contradict the paper instruction, but at least there's an option on the box photo showing a third way to get it wrong.  

As an "entry level" model for Occre, I'm amazing anyone ever buys another of their kits after their experience of this one.

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.
