    I think you are doing a splendid job. Heller kits can be rough at times but they make into fine models. David B

    What kind of glue did you for your plating? You can also use Simple Green cleaner then wipe down with plain water. At work that is what we use to clean and remove grease from material it is safe and non toxic. You can Also use it around the house. David B

    Depending on the structure I use both white and yellow. For the structure such as bulkheads, lifts, frames,planking, etc I use yellow. For everything else I use white. It is easier to diltue if needed and can be removed with isopropal alcohol as yellow can. ] David B

    You can make your own grating with the right blade. I did not get a good look at your corners. Did you mitt or cross lap then? Your corners would have been cross or ship lapped as this would provide the greatest amount a strength. David B

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.
