    Bob, I just scrolled through this build log. Amazing work! Your other builds are inspiring as well. And I know what you mean about aging eyes. At 45, I just found out I need reading glasses for the first time. Erik

    My 18th Century Longboat kit came from Model Shipways yesterday. I double checked to make sure everything that should be in the box was, and snapped a couple of photos. Though I consider myself a fairly accomplished modeler with other materials, this is my first wooden boat model. I'm excited to jump in! Being new at this, I welcome any input and advice you seasoned veterans have to offer, so please feel free to offer a critique/constructive criticism of my work. Now, it's time to break out my modeling supplies and tools, and get started . . . Erik

    Jerry, As mentioned above, Grandt Line may have something you can use: http://www.grandtline.com/products/arch/quarter/quarter_scale_architectural_windows.html As far as using a plastic detail on a wooden ship model, I'm not sure what's "acceptable". It would seem to me if it's OK to use metal castings, it would be OK to use an odd plastic part if there were no viable wood alternative. But, being new to this wooden ship endeavor myself . . . I may be branded a heretic for that suggestion. Erik

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.
