    You might want to consider paper mache, using newsprint paper as well. It sounds like you will need more than one ream of copy paper for that area...

    Vanguard has 1:00 officer figures in resin that are very nice, including Nelson.

    Got it, thanks!

    You might look for how chess/checker boards are made in the wood working magazines. However, I think that the diamond pattern may have been a painted canvas rug in many cases...

    The new Heller Victory instructions are listed on the Heller site, but I haven't found a retail vendor that has them yet. HISModels (http://www.radekshipmodels.cz/en/) is going to order them soon...

    Rockler, Woodcraft and Micromark all have small triangle setup tools.

    If you are building a static non-working model, you might want to look at Plastruct tubing and fittings: https://plastruct.com/

    I use foamcore as a sheath for knives with mounted blades that are out on the bench.

    I got a sleeve of plastic 25 ml sauce tubs at a local restaurant supply store for this application, styrofoam plates also work well as palates for water based paints.

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.
