    A superb build. However surely the top one or two rows of copper plating should be full width, running parallel to the waterline, and only tapered in below this? Mike

    Beautifully modelled and finished. Mike

    Planking going well, but I would not have stopped all the planks at the one frame, but would have overlapped them with each adjacent plank finishing at a different frame to its partner. Happy modelling, Mike

    Beautifully done. I usually mount my finished boats/ships in a case over a mirror on pedestals in order to show off the under water lines. Mike

    I have often thought of doing Alert in this scale. I have found clinker planking easier than carvel: no need for stealers fore and aft! I shall look forward to this build. Mike

    Very nicely done. The ensign is incorrect. The pre-1801 ensign lacked the cross of St Patrick (see http://www.mrflag.com/p/4764/UK_Red_Ensign_Pre_1801__Budget_.html). Good luck, Mike

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.
