    the winch looks very impressive, and you're right - the red appears pretty red! BTW, I did receive my order from Jotika that I placed on 14 Feb ... so be patient!! Also, how do you use the 400 sandpaper? by hand, or do you put it on your hand sanders? garthog

    Sounds like Cornwall has a virus problem. FYI, if you haven’t tried Jim Byrnes’ sander, you’ll find it’s as impressive as the table saw. I drove to his location to pick up my saw in 2006 or so - he’s a very interesting person, and works alone in his shop. He also re-works old classic cars! dana

    Looking very good - thanks for all of the details regarding how you do each task - I also liked the photo of all of the sanders/tools/glue (where did you get your Admiralty White PVA?) which immediately sent me to my sanding tools to compare ... you win! dana

    I built this kit several years ago without rigging - I didn't have any trouble at all, and I substituted most of the supplied wood with woods from Jeff Hayes' Hobbymill - I don't have any photos left but you can see a couple of shots on Jeff's website - the model looks great and draws many compliments. I highly recommend this model, but probably not until you've got a couple under your belt - I don't know why more people don't build this one. Dana Groover

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.
