    I think I will buy this kit. It looks pretty sharp, and not too dinky for my clumsy hands. I’d appreciate knowing if Maris Stella is top quality or not. I haven’t done one of theirs before. My last was Occre, which I thought was really good quality. Thanks, John Carleton

    I’m building Prinz Eugen (Occre) and having trouble with painting the brass and Britannia parts. I’m using ModelExpo acrylic water soluble paint with brushes. After drying the paint tends to slip off when touched, so I must be doing something wrong. Do I need to prep the metal? BTW, I am really enjoying the kit, it is first class.

    I am doing the Syren. After putting on the copper plate adhesive backed plates, should I apply a coat of poly or varnish? What keeps the corners of the tape from dog earring while I work on other parts? Advise please? John

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.
