    I'm a bit confused

    Hi and you are doing a nice job considering the almost total lack of any use-able instructions. Congratulations on your determined approach (I would have thrown the towel in long ago, and would not touch a Billings kit now . However it may be helpful for you to look at the photographs on this website http://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/register/234/will I know they are fairly modern but it would give you a good idea of the answers you need. Particularly re. the davits etc.around the stern, note also the chain linkage from the steering gear to the rudder stock. Meanwhile all the best, keep plugging steadily away and remember, it is a hobby not a race. Stay well and enjoy the journey. Kind regards from Rob in Oxfordshire (UK)

    If I remember correctly (and it was about 1963, so bear with me on this) when I was at school in Gibraltar we always recognised Trafalgar Day. Mind you it was a 'Naval & Dockyard School' and the locals on 'the rock' were fiercely pro British ...... probably still are....thanks for jogging my memory. Pity England only 'Expects' and does not 'Require' Rob (Oxford UK)

    Looking good Rusty, I lost all my MSW stuff (downloads etc. that is) after the the big crash + my own sytem had a 'melt-down'. So now it's back to 'square one' for me. I'm hoping to make a start on the Englsh Pinnace kit soon, it arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. All the best, Rob (UK)

    Hi, I notice you are in Europe. Why not go for a Proxxon like I did. Saw it demo'd at a show in UK. It will cut as tight as you will ever need. Shipping cost will be less (than anything from USA), ample quick easy suport / backup (ditto) and if weight is a BIG issue go for a jewellers fretsaw....not as fast, not as heavy but cheapest by far! All the best Rob (Nr Oxford UK)

    What happened to MSW? Been away for a while and had to re- register in order to be able to login.

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.
