    Thanks Richard, It isn't sold in many places. Thanks for your input. Bill M

    Thanks Richard, Do you think it's better than the polyurethane? Is it worth buying some? Bill

    Polyurethane or Cellulose? It has been suggested by one experienced source that polyurethane water based varnish (Varathane) is best but the instructions in my Constructo kit suggest cellulose varnish (such as Basin brand). I already have the Varathane varnish but might be willing to try to find the cellulose type if it's superior for ship models. Any opinions? Bill

    The deck looks great. I was advised to use Varathane water based Diamond Wood Finish interior Satin. I used this on the deck for the Halifax and it dries fast, cleans up with water and doesn't change the color of the wood.

    Hi rfolsom. How are you finding the instructions for your Billing kit. I have a kit of the Lila Dan topsail schooner that I haven't started. It was a gift and I am more interested in fully-rigged ships. I found the instructions lacking.

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.
