Decided to get back into wood after a side venture in plastic. My next wood kit is the Titanic Lifeboat by Artesania Latina in 1:35 scale. Purchased the kit through Tower Hobbies in Chicago when I heard that AL was in bankruptcy. Had this kit on my wish list for some time. Well here's the obligatory box photos. Interestingly the entire box was shrink wrapped in plastic, and the contents were likewise shrink wrapped in plastic over a large piece of cardboard. In addition each of the bundles were also shrink wrapped. Don't know if this is to prevent moisture; or sticky fingers absconding with spare parts or to prevent parts from getting lost if the box itself is damaged. At any rate it was a lot of plastic wrap to cut thru. One piece of laser cut ply had delaminated at one end caused 4 or 5 of the ribs to also delaminate, since the ply was 3 ply and only 1 ply came loose it was easy to reglue. First time I have encountered this with an AL kit. The part in the upper right corner of the next photo is the piece that delaminated. T

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.
