    Brass plated pedastals which came with the kit and wood base. The prepainted hull has discolored a bit in the box and the.copper color has a slight greenish patina now. Have not decided.yet to leave as is or repaint.

    Name plate my uncle had ordered around 1980. I will place it on the base when i finish it. Think he would have liked that.

    This is my first crack at this type of model. It was acquired by me from my late uncles estate along with a few other model boat kits. It was interesting to me to learn that we shared this interest. He had started assembling the mast sections, but appears to be as far as he got with it. The sails are grey in color, most appear in good condition given the age of the kit (40+ years). A few have some reddish stains and one has a small tear. I don't intend to use them, and have decided to either assemble bare poles, or make my own using the plastic ones to mold the fabric to shape. I had some questions regarding painting the model, and have found instruction sheets for newer editions on Revell's webpage with detailed painting guides. I also downloaded a file which matched Revell paint numbers to other manufacturers such as Humbrol and Model master. I have started to paint the mast assemblies. So far that is as far as I have got. I will upload some images when I get home.

    I have a now 40 year old Museum version that my late uncle started. I am going to complete it. So far he had assembled some mast componants and did a bit of painting. That was about it. Unsure of what colors would be best. Not sold.on those plastic sails. Will likely go bare poles unless i can find a decent alternative.

    . Step 1: Move away from the model. CHECK Step 2: Gripe on the computer. CHECK Step 3: Have a glass of wine. WORKING. Step 4: Forget about it for a day or two. PENDING Oh my god did this make me laugh.....

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.
