Greeting one and all. Been a few hours on the build this last few weeks. apart from waiting for some 7mm eye hooks from Ebay, for what ever reason I have er... missed placed a few. I had a fun with the side fencing, I think it came out not to bad, have a little bit more cleaning it up once the glue has had several days to go off.

Hi, Sorry for the lack of work.. Build time has been slow, to be honest fed up with the cannons has to put it to one side,, Plus the normal every day life... Well cannons are done,did a little play and re attempt then got happy with it..

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.
