    Thanks Keith 😁 I was so surprised about such an obvious gap in the market, the American market for such a kit must be large excluding the rest of the world..they are so distinctive that it would stand out in my world of sail..

    I'm looking for a quality US civil war iron side wooden ship kit...any suggestions as I was surprised there is nothing around that jumps out at me?

    Looking good , planking the deck is a really satisfying task, all the enjoyment but non of the stress of other elements of a ship build😁

    Great log, this build with steam is on my to do list.
  22. Ian B
    An epic build 😁

    I got mine a few years ago second hand on eBay for not a lot of money and found it invaluable the collot is hollow so long sections go through the main body leaving just the end sticking out so there's no flexing or whipping when sanding/filing. Id go for it.

    Lol..that's exactly the right attitude 😜 I have a white tiled floor in my workshop so I don't loose anything if I drop it..but I still do!!!

    Hey, it's coming on a treat David. I've nearly finished mine...I'll look forward to seeing your progress it is a very good kit if a little challenging in places 😃 Cheers ian

    I know I know I know I haven't finished doing the lashings on the small boats but this was far more exciting to do 15cm guns and turrets ... The scheme is yellow upper surfaces but I toned it down to a more green/yellow purely for artistic looks..

    slowly getting there-- how come life keeps getting in the way?--doesn't it know I'm trying to build a boat LOL ! I made the small boat flotilla. I am in the process attaching them and then doing the lashings.. If you look close the two most inner boats by the mast are lashed the others are all just placed in position.

    No where near the scale you are considering..but POB with a lot of sanding and filling does work for a steel hull ship
  33. Ian B
    It's really taking shape, great contours

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.
