    It's your preference, I like a medium oak stain myself.

    FYI, Jay Brent has several other U tubes that are pretty good in showing and explaining other details about the rigging process. Sort concise and to the point. Highly recommended.

    Welcome to MSW. Where in AZ are you?

    I think Caldercraft sells a 1/64 scale copper plate that is etched (no dimples) in sheet form. You may also want to check out Bluejacket.

    Wow thanks fellows. In a way that was the way my thinking was going. I plan to using a cloth tape measure. Measure stem to stern at the waterline. Measure midship waterline to keel to stern and stem. Times two. That should give me a rough square inch amount to work with. Caldercraft sells a 1/64 scale copper plate that is etched (no dimples) in sheet form. I'll find out how many square inches a sheet covers and work from there. Probably not cheap but I do not like the look or working with foil. As always thanks for the help timely response and knowledge sharing.

    Hi, I think I want to copper the hull for the Prince De Neufchatel which comes without copper. How do you go about measuring the hull to determine how much is needed? I'm sure there is a formula for this. Thanks

    Hello all, I need help in finding out the bulwark color for American privateers built around 1811-1815. I've seen deep red and green used on the Price De Neufchatel. I've looked at the Smithsonian's on line model image of PDN and can't make out the bulwark color. Is either correct or just builder's choice. Any help is appreciated.

    If you haven't down load the Alert construction manual on the Vanguard site. It it give you a great overview of the project and what to expect. Good luck.

    Hi Glen, what is the finished size of the Kingfisher and is it cherry wood? Thanks,

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.
