Hello Everyone, While I’m new to MSW I am not new to model ship building. In my earlier life, I built two period sailing ships: Heller 1/200 L'indomptable and the Revell 1/96 Elizabethan Man ‘O War. Sadly, these did not survive the decades since I built them. My current project is the Heller 1/100 HMS Victory. While I say ‘current’ my story is similar to that of others in this forum. I bought my kit around about 1984 but a busy career and family life meant the project became an on-again off-again proposition. Clearly, more off than on. I am now retired and motivated to push this project to completion. I have poured through the building logs of several of the MSW members and am mind blown - while also a tad bit intimidated - by the quality of the builds and the amount of knowledge out there. I will need help. And lots of it. Many thanks in advance! Cheers, Malcolm

Hello to all builders Heller's 1/100 scale model of The HMS Victory. After reading others who have posted on this forum about the advantages and disadvantages of the Heller 1/00 scale model of the HMS Victory. I have just bought one and while it will be some time before I start building it ( I have started my first plank on bulkhead wood kit: The Brig Niagara by Model Expo.) I have noticed the comments about the French to English translation problem and I was pleasantly surprised to find that my copy was all in English although the model is indeed the Heller version both on the box and the instructions themselves. My scanner is too small to scan it all but maybe I can scan it a half of a page at a time. Many of the pages are split frame in layout but others are full page and would be split. I am open to suggestions that would benefit members of this forum who have an interest in this subject Joseph Lieuallen

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.
