    Welcome Tyler - I'm also in Ontario and currently building the AL Hermione. Let me know if you have any questions about the kit if you're still leaning towards it.

    Looking forward to following along. And maybe motivate me a bit to get mine moving again...

    Looking really good! And nice workbench as well. With winter coming I think I'll finally get back to my Hermione as well. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

    Thanks for all the responses and photos! Lots to consider....luckily I've got some time before I get to the stage of needing to make that decision.

    Does anybody build without completing the masts and leave their model as a "hull only" display? Building the Hermione currently and trying to understand how big it might be fully rigged and if there's any other options. Obviously there's a ton of space saved by building the hull only, but is it outweighed by missing out on the rigging? Clearly subjective but I'm still interested in hearing opinions. Thanks!

    Some more new details.
  24. jks1981
    Haha....yes both! Motivation to keep going while building sixteen ammunition boxes in a row.
  25. jks1981
    And more progress….
  26. jks1981
    More work on the deck. Plus the first lifeboat complete!
  27. jks1981
    Looking forward to watching this! I used the pencil nails on mine, looked alright once varnished. Tough to find something that looks really good at this scale. On my last boat I used a mechanical pencil with the lead removed to dent in nail heads into the planks. Neither were perfect, but both ended up not terrible. Looking forward to see what you end up doing.

    Finally back at it
  29. jks1981
    Made a case…. The End
  30. jks1981
    Wasn’t sure about using the stairs in the kit. Decided to do it. Not perfect… but not terrible

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.
