    Dear James

    Several years ago I bought a huge quanity of Amati parts - from, anchors to port holes to ladders etc 1000's of parts all sealed and bagged individually.

    I am looking to give them away as I have taken what I shall need for several lifetimes and I want to give them to charity

    Ideally I would like to give them to this forum for you to sell as you wish and keep the money to keep this great institution afloat.

    Or do you know any school or model club etc who would like them

    I will pay the cost of shipping also

    Best wishes, Bettina

    Dear Spyglass I have been one of your silent lurkers for the past year and have got a lot out of following your build. The reason for my post is that along with your build, I have been following your recovery since September and I just wanted to wish you the very best for 2015, warmest wishes, Bettina

    Dear Stuart, unfortunately I can only hit the "Like" button once, as i REALLY, REALLY, REALLY Like this!!!

    Just a quick follow up for to all you kind folk who took the time in recommending a hand plane. I did buy the Lie Nielson No 100 and it is probably the best tool I have ever bought, worth every penny. Thanks to all

    Like most of us following this excellent log, I was always frustrated by the lack of actual images Billings released of the Warrior. One measly promo image by Billings doesn’t really give us the detail we want to see. Anyway browsing through MSW today I saw a thread on the Nurnberg Toy Fair 2014 with a whole lot of (untitled) completed build shots of kits from companies like Corel and Billings and sure enough there are a couple of the Warrior These really do give an idea of scale and size (although we all know we will need big shelves for this kit!). Anyway for those interested I have pasted

    Hi Holty, I got a Dremel too for my Birthday last year (best present ever!!!) Still getting to grips with it though and a looking forward to doing some cutting very soon.....! BTW your grating looks superb Best wishes, Bettina

    Dear Alistair, I couldn’t resist in adding my comment on your superb “blue”. After following B.E.’s inspirational Pegasus and then seeing the front cover of the cover of the 2012 Shipwright book, I knew that this was the way I wanted to go (regarding the build and the paint choice) but had doubts on my decisions. After seeing your recent posts however I know I have made the right decision and am experimenting with creating my own blue colour too. I really hope that B.E.'s and your work, inspires more model boat builders to experiment with their colour schemes too rather than follow the su

    Dear Rodgerdodger, thank you for starting this log. I will be following with interest as I really like the look of this kit and have wondered how the construction would progress. All the best, Bettina

    Dear Stuart I too am following your build. After seeing the Warrior last year I have been longing to have a go at building a model of her. However my past experience of Billing Boats have not been good due to the paucity of instructions they include with their kist, so I do wish you all the best in this and will be following the log with great interest. For some of the finer details, I was given at Christmas an excellent book “HMS Warrior - Ironclad: Seaforth Historic Ships Series” which if you don’t already have it, I would strongly recommend. Best wishes, Bettina

    Hi Holty, I used .50 thread but not the thread supplied in the kit as I found it too furry and it just looked a bit to "String" like. I prefer Caldercraft rigging thread. Best wishes, Bettina

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.
