    You mentioned the same issue in another thread. It was suggested that you post pictures of your problem. If you think there is a discrepancy, please post pictures so that it can be addressed. Better yet, start a build log.

    Please post a picture of what you are talking about. Frame 4a does not sit higher than frame 5.

    The rigging kit is currently unavailable. The cost of materials made it cost prohibitive. However, very soon you will be able to buy a modified practicum complete with all of the frame drawings so you can source your own materials.

    Do you happen to know what happened to the mast kit that was listed in the NRG Resources page.  I'm working on the half hull planking kit and thought I might like to do the mast kit too, but it's not listed anymore.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thank you.

      The rigging kit is currently out of stock.  Please contact the office to add your name to the waiting list.  Soon, the practicum will be available for download.  This would let you build the model at a much lower cost than what we are able to price it at.

      Ok.  Thank you very much.

    You could also simulate the bolts or nails with copper wire.

    It is hard to go wrong with anything from Vanguard. Harpy is a nice looking ship.

    Sorry for the late reply. I have the plans and can photograph them and send them to you if you would like. They say Copyright 1971.

    Looks very nice. Looking forward to seeing the final product.
  23. tlevine
    I would apply the finishing wood last. That way it will cover up any dings that occur along the way.
  24. tlevine
    Another place to look is the Half Hull Planking Project. This was designed for novice modelers.

    The first post is the hardest. Welcome to MSW!
  26. tlevine
    I have no experience with this wood. How hard is it? I would probably use it for things like hatch covers rather than pillars.
  27. tlevine
    Have you considered photoetching thin sheet brass?
  28. tlevine
    At the top of the deck plan there is the comment "the ticked lines and those in green are proposed alterations, the others are as she is now". Also, look where the magazine lantern is in location to the faint word "magazine".

    That hull is looking very nice.

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.
