First model kit - Mantua 1/200 H.M.S. Victory

Followers 0

This is my first build and (I realised after buying!) a comparatively challenging one for a newcomer! I owe much to the Lazy Saint for his excellent build log of this kit - I hope you did finish it, LS!

Overall I am pleased with the results - there are imperfections, lessons were learned along the way, and the railings proved so troublesome I eventually decided to forgo them. Nonetheless, she doesn't look too shabby, although perhaps not able to survive 2 centuries!

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.
