    guys i need some help, clarification or knowledge for the kit. i am at the point to start applying the Photo etched parts and i really have no idea what i'm doing. its a solid sheet of brass with the PE on it. the parts that are raised have a bluish color on it. the million dollar question is do i cut out the windows in the frames and the frames and just use them? also how do you get the bluish tint off the parts you keep? Any help would be appreciated. TY

    guys i need some information, i am building this kit named above. i am to the assembly instructions on installing the photo etched parts sheet. its a solid square section with the parts etched into it. my question is how do you use this stuff? do i cute out all the window squares and the frame outlines the cg glue them down? and if so the parts that i keep look like they have blue material over them. do i scrape the parts clean then attach them The instruction sheets and plans really don't explain it. i would appreciate any help i could get ty guys

    fantastic work as always, i visited her on Oct 7, 2015 took hundreds of pics, she is in the new paint scheme now, will take a little to get use to it but overall one great ship to visit, she is undergoing rework and repairs the guide told me its going to take about 12 years

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.
