    New to plastic kit building so please be patient. Gluing two hull halves together, best to apply glue to both mating surfaces, let stand 20 secs or so, then clamp together? OR, clamp together, then apply glue to inside seam? General question - is it best to glue mating seam, or mating surfaces? Many thanks -

    I didn't wash those parts. I will wash my next batch. Is it customary to prime the parts while on the sprues?

    I have been practicing painting before my 'real' plastic ship model (1/98 Constitution). I bought some Krylon primer at the auto parts store. It seems very, very, runny. Is this typical? When I try to paint an item like a rudder, or plane wing, the primer runs on the flat surface as I am trying to get the thin edge. Does a primer coat need to be 100% coverage? Will a light dusting of the primer be adequate? If not, should i practice patience and put on two light dusting coats? Many thanks -

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.
