'Nisha' was a Brixham 'Mumble-bee' from 1907. I will be building this one concurrently with 'Erycina' for release around the same time. All I currently require for this one is the photo-etch and sails, which should be with me quite shortly. While there is no picture of Nisha, here's a photo of another 'Mumble Bee' class fisher. This one is smaller than Erycina and very petite. Like that one and other kits in VM's range, this starts with an MDF core, plenty of bulkheads with bevel lines on them, and a nice selection of pear in numerous thicknesses. An MDF construction cradle is supplied as well as an acrylic stand for display. Also some nice 3D printed and brass parts too. Again, I've not shown the plank strips here or the dowel for the masts. Note the shrouds and rats in the above pic. Ok, I'm still on my personally enforced 7-day workshop hiatus, so I can spend my spare time on my new PlayStation, but I do have the original prototype photos to study too, so both models will be started next Monday. Until then...

Hello all, This is the start of a new build log for me and my first kit from Vanguard models, I won't go into the background of the vessel as @James H has already done that here only recently:- But as this is my first Vanguard kit, I thought I would post up a few pictures for the box opening ceremony and my initial thoughts. First the kit came well protected, the "Finished" box was inside a stiff brown cardboard box and that was itself was inside the courier box, so well protected for transport 👍 A smallish box but stuffed to the lid with goodies; firstly the weighty "tome" of the building manual, 58 pages, many of which you will see from James's prototype build log and you can download that from the website. Then there was a pack of 10 "Plan sheets", clearly printed and in what initially seems a clear order from parts call out to hull build then masts, rigging and sail plans. A few sample pictures of those, not forgetting the nice touch of the coaster to rest my tea on! 😀 Next up the wood parts...

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.
