    This kit does come with a stand to display your finished Mare Nostrum. I didnt like the look of the stand, looked to small. So I scratch built my own stand. My first small step into scratch building in this hobby and enjoyed it. Pics are the stand holding the hull in its new home.

    Got the planking done. The pics are the sanding, filling and shapeing of the hull. Very happy with the outcome of the shape of my hull after the planking.

    Got to step that I was most worried about..PLANKING. I got alot of info and tips for this step from other great members of MSW in their build logs. MSW, its moderators and administrators make this a great site for anyone in the hobby.

    Got the deck shaped , fitted, and glued. I started the deck planking. Every step you get to see the shape of your Mare come together.

    Here is pic of my progress of my build so for. Got the Mare on the build board to help hold it straight. Slow and steady to enjoy this build. Isnt the old saying, check all your fitted parts twice than glue once.

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.
