    Stick with it Tim. Plankins a hull is a demanding process but the end really pays off. When you are done make up some test sample and experiment with differnet stains and varnished to what you like. David B

    I have never used beeswax for a finish before I will put that down for the future. I have rarely seen a vessel of this type built with this kind of detail. I hope Ed writes a book. David B

    Ed, are you applying a finish as you are going along? With the amount of detail in this model it must be a bearcat when deciding when and where to apply any stain or varnish. I know I would have a hard time deciding when. If you go to far you cannot apply anything and to soon attaching pieces becomes difficult. David B

    Steve if you decide to paint try an airbrush. This will lay donw a very thin layer of paint so you do not hide your workmanship. David B

    The problem inthis hobby is that good books are not cheap. When I went to the conferences. Seawatch knew I would be dropping by and there went my budget. 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.
