“Running” rigging, which is used to manipulate spars and sails.“Standing” or “Fixed” rigging, which is used to support the Masts and Bowsprit.The rigging of a ship can be divided into two main parts: We’ll either be able to advise you ourselves or refer you another modeller in your area who’ll be happy to help you with “hands-on” assistance. If having thought about it, you still have a problem then contact us. It is necessary to spend as much time thinking about the task at hand as actually doing it. In this small leaflet, we can’t hope to cover all the problems and queries that may be encountered in the construction of your model. The approaches described are not the only way of doing things and the order in which the various processes are carried out may be varied, within reason, to suit the individual modeller.īuilding a model ship is as much an exercise in using the mind as it is in using your fingers and hands.In particular, it must be emphasised that any illustrations used in this leaflet are purely for the purpose of example and may not relate to your specific model.

This is a general guide only and is to be used in conjunction with any instructions and plans provided by the kit manufacturer.Modeller’s Shipyard has produced the following information as an introduction to the Rigging of a model ship. We do strongly recommend “Ship Modelling Simplified” by Mastini – it contains excellent advice on ship modelling in general and has a good section on rigging. For further information call our office or visit our website. This is a comprehensive set which shows all aspects of preparing the masts, spars and yards and the rigging for a period model. Highly recommended is a 3 DVD set available from Modellers Shipyard on Masting and Rigging. Whilst there are several specialised and very detailed books on masting and rigging, they are more concerned with matters of historical and technical accuracy than with the sort of advice that might help the beginner to understand the best way of going about what might appear to be quite a daunting task.
