Anyone recommend a good reference for the standing rigging on Napoleonic ships?
No, I'm not planning on doing it. I'm married to a veterinary surgeon, who is much better at micro-sutures than I am. ;)

I am not sure what scale you are shooting for but Rod Langton's site is hard to beat. http://www.rodlangton.com/napoleonic/booklet.htm
ReplyDeleteThis is not half bad either: http://www.larsonweb.com/Transfer/Miniatures/Sail/NAPSHIPS.htm
Those are sources I have used.
For books some older ones that I have are: Plank-on-Frame modesl and Scale Masting & Rigging. Vol I and Vol II by Harold R Underhill. The rigging information is in Vol II.

I found the rigging tutorial that came with http://www.warartisan.com/ ships to be helpful. A quick Google search finds http://goo.gl/3A5tKs
