    Just love old maps/charts Pic below is of one in my living room, just before I hanged it. A copy of a world map by Franciscus Verhaer, dated 1618, I made the frame myself to keep costs down. The table in the picture also have an interesting history, picked up by my great grandmother on a beach on the South coast of South Africa after a shipwreck, sometime in the early 1900's

    Pear or cherry might be a good option too and should be available in 4mm strips - Pear and cherry

    You are doing great so far Jo. Another important lesson to learn for a novice - how to hide your mistakes

    Dusek ship kits, who is a sponsor for this site, has taken over Mamoli, so parts should not be a problem. http://www.dusekshipkits.com/mm65-leudo

    What about something slightly larger like a Beneteau Oceanis 31? Draft is about 4.5 feet with a shoal draft keel. http://www.beneteau.com/en/oceanis/oceanis-31

    From one novice to another, I think the Il Leudo will be a good choice. It is fairly small, so will not take up a lot of space, the hull looks like a fairly simple shape, so should be a good platform to practise planking techniques on and last but not least, the rigging is fairly simple, so will give you a good foundation for future builds. A bigger models' rigging can be quite overwhelming for a novice(as I have found out!) Whatever your choice, the most important part is to have fun. Good luck

    I have used modelling clay to make sandbags for a 1/72 diorama Something similar to this product: https://www.amazon.com/ACTIVA-Natural-Self-Hardening-White-pounds/dp/B07N2Z75YX?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3&th=1&psc=1
  35. Jolley Roger started following Home Built Thickness Sander

    Aim High, if I remember correctly it should be connected with an eyesplice dropped over the masthead, the same way the shrouds are connected. The more knowledgeable guys on the forum should be able to give you a much better explanation, what I know of rigging at the moment is dangerous!

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.
