    All forms of plastic have waht is called a shelf life. At work all the plastic and polyurathane is dated. Depending on the type after the shelf live will become either brittle or soft or start felling like it wnats to melt but wont. David B

    Thi was before digital and most of my photos from back then got thrown out by accident when I moved. The hull was a breeze. but the iron work and the stanchions were not the easy iest to duplicate to scale. Much I had to fabricate using my lathe and a ton of solder. The book that saved me was Longridge. This is the bible for the Cutty. If you can find a copy get. It was this model that really pushed me to learn metal working. David B

    Very nice I use beech when I can find it but I do not find it available over here that often. David B

    The Cutty is a beautful vessel. However it can be a bearcat. Many who start it do not understand that it is a very large and major commitment. I built it many years ago and found it to be rough to my standards. i have been approached by peopl to build it but when I gave them a price they always say no. David B

    A lot of tedious repetative work. But the end result is worth it. Well done. David B

    Do not feel bad I loved the thrill years ago. Now if you were to put me on an extension ladder I would have to wear a diaper. 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.
