    Hello all, I'm new to this forum so probably getting things screwed up! Looking for some opinions / advice. I recently purchased the Artesania King of the Mississippi and after sotd what was bothering me - main deck beam looks too shallow. The Belle of Calhoun and similar vessels provided a clue in their main deck shear and upper deck supports; it looks to me like the King could do with 4 feet either side 'overhang' on deck beam extentions (which is what Belle of Calhoun had). This would provide the additional space for door openings, access to gangways and aft passageway, stores, particularly the cordwood stacks. I'm going to have a crack at redesigning the main deck and see what it looks like. Any suggestions? Ed.

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.
