    Welcome! What a lovely model you have build, I love the old look of it And a great choice regarding the Sphinx kit; you won't be disappointed. I'm having a lot of fun building this kit myself. 👌

    Great looking rope! I'm probably going to attempt to make it myself also...but that's in the future. I wish you all the fun with this build, good luck!

    You can enjoy planking for a while 😄🤪
  4. Ronald-V
    Yes I saw that, I meant you solved that well

    Pearwood comes in quite a few different color variations, from dark pink to light beige/yellowish. What I did for my Sphinx build was order the same number of planks (different widths) and a sheet of pearwood from a company like "Modelers Sawmill" (I ordered from "Hobbymill.eu") so I could go in any direction with the planking. I first sent photos to this company of the laser-cut side planks above the wales so they could choose a roughly similar color tone for the planking (you can never get it exactly right unless you send a sample). Of course this is not strictly necessary for the Vanguard kits, because of the good quality wood Chris provides, but if you want to go all-out with planking it is useful/desirable

    That looks really beautiful on the launch, it compliments the lines somehow of the ship.

    Me too...same as the "drop" below the quarter gallery's of the Sphinx kit. I think it's a simplification of carving work or painting, but not sure either.

    To be honest...I don't know yet. I'm at a point with my model where I haven't had to sand since I bought it. I tested it briefly, and it works well. However...it's not super powerful. I have it as a supplement so my workspace doesn't completely get covered in dust, but I still wear a face mask when sanding larger areas. especially MDF

    Well done Bob! You delivered another beauty to your collection! 👌
  16. Ronald-V
    Nice clean work! Those angles and curves higher at the stern section are not easy to get right

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.
