    Back in the mid 20th century many (most, all?) kits supplied sheets of wood with the part outlines printed on them. You had to cut out the pieces one by one. Looks like someone started cutting out the center/keel part.

    I started cutting the center, just outside the line using a bow/coping saw. It's those tiny parts on the printed board that are going to be the worst.s6rDE1W.jpg

    Hi I'm Damon. I'm totally new to this. I have experience making cars, gundams, and planes. My grandfather left me a 1978 German Revell pirate ship, wooden model kit. The parts are not cut out of the wood boards, they are just printed on them. One board, for the deck, is cut all the way through. Should I bother trying to cut these boards out. They look like they should have been cut out, as I have seen the same types of board used. mKjrKT4.jpg

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.
