    Thanks for the suggestion Janet. I think I get the idea. Would you happen to have a diagram of the suggested jig, or a picture?

    Good advice. I learned something today.

    Nice work!

    I'm starting to buy into the balsa technique.

    I just place a soft cloth between the hull and the stand I use to keep it safe.

    Beautiful work on the hull.

    You should be able to get the dremel collets from amazon. The small one that came with my dremel works well for small bits. I'm not sure about the size though, maybe a 1/32?

    Thanks. It has been a challenge every step of the way.

    The portholes on the MS version are pretty much the same. Its just a cast metal porthole inserted into an opening drilled in the hull.

    No problem Rich. Bills photos should help quite a bit.

    Big and beautiful! Nicely done.

    Thanks Bob. The rigging isn't my favorite part.

    Thanks Rich. I just followed the the plans for the kit which shows the configuration I did. The kits plans are based on the way the ship looks now so I assume the actual ship will have the same configuration. Anatomy of a Ship shows 4 per side also but in a different configuration.

    I use a dremel 3000 variable speed and a flex shaft. No issues to report.

    Welcome to MSW. Your model looks very good. I had totally forgotten that Model Shipways manufactured Vanguard kits for a short time until I saw your post.

    Planking looks great.

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.
