My first kit arrived yesterday. Not the greatest timing since I have a lot going on, but I decided to check things out tonight. I got a little temporary work space set up topnight, and since I have a biopsy early in the morning tomorrow, I didn't get into anything serious. I did open it up and took inventory of all the parts & tools, and started reading into the instruction book. I've been eagerly awaiting this since I ordered it sometime last week. I'll also be getting an OcCre Polaris expecting tomorrow which will come with a cutting board and some other tools this Dory kit didn't come with so I should be in a good spot to start. I'm very excited and a little nervous to get into it, but my mind is a little occupied with my procedure tomorrow. I'll be pretty drugged up; but if it wears off quick enough I may be able to take the first step or two tomorrow evening. If not, I expect to get into it Thursday. I'm not going to list them all, but I appreciate all the other build logs I've read through, they've been incredibly helpful. I may have gotten a little obsessive about going through them and psyched myself out a little bit when it comes to certain steps though! Thaty may not be a terrible thing since I'll be extra aware of common issues. I'm already starting to remind myself that this is my first model and is not going to be perfect, however I still like to take care in what I do.

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.
