    Remco, The fixture I made for my model was a rectangular piece of wood with a hole drilled partway through. Then I added a strip of brass with three holes drilled into it. I tried to locate it but I guess my sister missed it. I learned this method at a club meeting a long time ago. David B

    Nice job on the coat. I have rarely seen it on models. I asked one guy when I saw it what he used and it was sheet linen and gesso. Then a "dirty" wash. I did not have my camera so I could not get a photo. Well done. David B

    Toni, I have found over the years that close up photos tend to accent things you normally do not notice or see. As far as I am concerned your work is flawless. David B

    You are doing a good job Elijah. One of the things about a solid hull is that you can see how the shape is coming along. Remember just a little off at a time. And a lot of patience. 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.
