Hi, Id have to agree with Russ, the plans could be distorted - is there a scale bar on the plans that you can check with a ruler to see if thats where is issue is? The Rattlesnake I believe is one of MS older designs compared to the current Syren/Confederacy kits which have superb plans and instructions so it could indeed be an issue with the scale plans, I would not worry about it and build with what you have unless you see more problems. ben

Your a lucky man Jim to be able to attend that workshop, I'd love to but work gets in the way unfortunatly. Excellent work on the first frame and Im sure your build will continue to get even better. ben -
Thanks for the clarification guys, I just knew Rusty would not have done it without a reason - thats more like a mistake I would make. ben

Hi jason, Yeh - the model expo paints are not very good, Id go back to the Valjeo paints if i was you, Myself I use Newton&Windsor Galleria Acrylics and i paint them on VERY thin, pretty much just a wash, but many many coats with sanding inbetween, I think the titanium white that I used on the hull had about 15 coats over a weeks period. Looking forward to seeing more. ben

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.
