    Thanks guys, see I feel if your going to spend months on a build the money difference really don't matter much. I have been leaning towards the OcCre anyway but was interested to see if someone knew why the big money difference. I figured it had to be better somehow. Well thanks for the input. Oh I have built a few models in the past. I think it will be nice to make a model without all the rigging. LOL. I have seen both builds on u tube and really hard to see much difference. I like the hull of the Latina better as it must be built and the OcCre looks like a solid hull. But the decking on the OcCre looks a lot nicer. Well both are very cool for sure! This time of year is sooooo boring ! I can't wait to get started. Thanks Brad

    I am new to this wood model ship building however I played with a few planke to see what I liked best. My ship is 24" long so what i did is I used a paint sitck (dark brown) first I snaded and sealed the top of the plank to stop some blead then I coated the edges all the way around two times to build up the paint. When butted together it looks great !! for bigger ships do more coats. as far as the nail holes I have played with this as well. The sides of my ship are dark so what I'm doing is drilling a very small hole then using Durams wood putty to fill the holes. Afrer sanding the holes are lighter and can be seen very well. The deck on the other hand is light so I think I will again drill the little holes and mix the Durams with a little dark brown paint instaed of water and see how that goes ?? Although the guy who said to use black fishing line may be an option ? Good Luck Brad

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.
