    Hi Jay This may sound a stupid question but what glue do you use when rigging as yours seems to leave no residue? Glyn

    Hi Adam As a newcomer to the hobby this database is invaluable to making decisions as to which kits to investigate before purchasing so well done for taking the time and trouble to put it together. I hope that MSW will embrace the database and allow links to be added to deliver the most comprehensive database for all model lists irrespective of skill level. I look forward to seeing your progress. Best wishes and thanks Glyn

    I am building my first model and painting with paints supplied for the kit which is by Caldercraft. I cannot seem to get the metal dull black paint to uniformly cover the brass. Does anyone have any tips please?

    Andy Thanks for a great tip unfortunately I have already fixed the tiller but will leave the pump until the rigging has been done. Glyn

    Hi normanh this is exactly what I did, the plans show a pin but i glued together the two parts first.

    Unfortunately the pictures are not too much help so I have chosen to do my own thing. Normanh I remember your post and was looking forward to using your build log to guide my build so the loss is shared.

    As a newcomer to model ship building, I chose the Caldercraft kit of the HM Mortar Convulsion for my first model. Whilst for most part the plans are self-explanatory I have an issue with the tiller which has two parts but neither the plan nor the instructions advise how the pieces relate to each other. I presume that they are glued side by side to take the fixing rod but before I do this I am hoping that a fellow member might confirm this. Unfortunately there are no images of this model that I can view. Regards Glyn

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.
