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.
Mantua Amerigo Vespucci : Help with additions....
in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Posted
I'm in the process of constructing the model of the "Amerigo Vespucci" from Mantua Models (second time). I have a couple of questions. This is the second time I'm doing this kit and decided to include the 'sail kit' (kit from Mantua)
on this build. I'm looking for advise on this process. At what point do I add the sails? To the yardarms before attaching to masts? Add sails before I do the standing rigging? I could use some help on this process. I'm just working on the smaller boats and then the masts/yardarms/booms next.
My second question is where can I find small scale model figurines for this ship? I think the right size would be 1". I found some when I did the "Sterling Model ---'American Scout' a few years ago, they were just the right size. Officers in white uniform and seamen and dock workers, all painted. Can anyone recommend where I can find these figurines to compliment my model.
I appreciate any assistance from anyone.
