Theres also an old book that came out after the movie called Anatomy of the Titanic by Tom McCluskie who works/ worked for Harlem and Wolf and its a step by step guide from the keel up in Photos and words- unfortunatley of course all the pics are in black and white so white star buff remains a mystery!

I thought i was bad for having multiple builds on the go! My admiral says the same about plastic too. Interested in this as i have the academy warspite so curious to see how the academy kits go together. Keith

Just a quicky - took delivery of the Mantua 1/78 victory etch. Wierd thing is though it is about 20 hammock cranes and a set of cranes for the stunsail boom fitted to the channels short, but has all the brackets for the lamps!? Will have to order another set when back in stock with C.M.B. Happy building all Keith

Looking good Boyd- i cheated and have a set of the mantua 1/78 hammock cranes on the way from cornwall model boats- the fret also has the lamp irons by the look of it. Keith

Hi Jesse- the solid frames are bulkheads, the "walls" above deck level are the bulwarks- the bits that broke off are the bulwark timbers if memory serves me right. Keith

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.
