    I use a Craftsman 3-D Sander. It features 3 small pivoting sanding heads that will sand any shape just as the templates indicate. Bill

    Tres magnifique! Bill

    The kit is around 1/168. However, that is a close guestimate . . . Bill

    I am very amazed at this model! It all started with an impressive planking job. Well done, sir! Bill

    I, for one, enjoy solid hull kits as well as POB. Bill
  23. Bill Morrison
    Bluejacket once had several very interesting solid hull ship model kits. I currently have their old Half Moon and their Continental Navy Ship Cabot. I would love to have their Flying Cloud. I wish that Bluejacket would manufacture them again. Bill

    This is the BEST model of the Alfred that I have ever seen! OUTSTANDING work so far! Please keep posting. Bill
  25. Bill Morrison
    Although both kits have some problems, the most egregious one can be found in the hull moldings. There is really good detail as far as wood grain, but there are no planks. They almost look like the ships were carved out of logs. That said, I like both models and have planked over the hulls as much as possible. Problem solved . . . Bill
  26. Bill Morrison
    I only have one question. You are doing a truly exceptional job. I particularly like the white trim at the bow and stern. But where did you get the plastic wood? Bill
  27. Bill Morrison
    I began building PoF ships when I was stationed in Italy at the end of the 1970s. At the time, there existed a company called Aeropiccola that had a range of smaller ship models called "Super Mec. I have built two of them early in my modeling experience, HMS Victory and HMS Prince. They were of 1/144 to 1/180 scale. Although they were basic, they were of a perfect size for most homes. The builder was also free to add detailing as he or she wanted. I wish that we could have more ships in these small scales. Bill

    I am struck with your decks! Did you paint the decks or use wood? They are beautiful! Bill
  29. Bill Morrison
    Well, it may be a difficult kit but you are making a masterpiece of it! You are making excellent progress,! Bill
  30. Bill Morrison
    I have this kit awaiting me in my stash. I am taking inspiration from your excellent job so far! Bill
  31. Bill Morrison
    Amen to that! Bill

    I have the old Marine Models kit of the Sea Witch. You are inspiring me to build it! Bill

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.
