One of the good things about replacing spars is you have the shape already just duplicate it. David B

I also agree with the above comment. However be careful. One my fellow club members spent 20 years on a model. The more he researched the more errors he would find in his build and he would redo it. We finally said no more research. Build with what you have and if anything new comes up forget about it. David B

I would have to agree with Dafi. Try to replace all the thin plastic spars you can. They will be very flimsy and if it gets warm watch out. Many years ago I saw a model of the Revell Cutty that was done extremely well. Unfortunately the case was left near a window. We went out for the day and when we got back half the spars had been rendered useless. David B

Years ago at Manitowoc I saw a mid section of the Victory. From a distance you did not see it but up close you could see that it was tree nailed. The modeler had used the bristles from a brush that were a clear plastic or nylon. David B

This should prove interesting. I have done a plastic Lee many years ago. Different maker though. I will enjoy your build. David B

The nice thing about this scale is that much of the metal work is easier to work with and not so fragile. Good job. David B

I then put in the rest of the interior. The problem is I am not sure about how this last part is to be placed. I went through the plans but I could not find anything. So I will work around it until I can find and answer. 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.
