    Thank you for the info on lumber sourcing. Will hopefully not need to use it just yet. I will be starting the Blue Shadow after the Holidays along with my build log. For now the plans are laid out and I'm reviewing them over a desk lamp and a glass of Scotch. I find that Scotch removes any hesitation I may have about the project, though I won't be drinking while building. I believe that's a punishable offense!

    Good advice from all! Thank you for the welcome and the suggestion to start a log on my build. I like that idea for many reasons. I have purchased a Mamoli Blue Shadow brig kit and think I may start with that. The issue I'm having is that I read the materials were not plentiful in the kit and you must be careful to use them wisely. I know I'll make mistakes so my question is, where to get planking should I need to? Or supplies of wood? Again thank you all for the help! I'll be exploring a bit more on the site.

    After many years and many model kits of all kinds, plastic, wood, resin and yes, even paper, I have committed to build the one kit that every experienced ship modeler will tell you "Not as your first kit" to build. Just like my days in school, long ago, I heeded no ones advice. Today via Fed Ex delivery I received a 12 pound box containing one Mamoli 1/90 HMS Victory. Great excitement was in the air. I opened the box and began to spread out the sheets of plans and review the build.....uh oh. I closed the box and just like my days in school, long ago, a feeling of dread came over me. What have I done! Why did I not listen! I consider myself an advanced intermediate builder, if there is such a thing. Yes, I've built the Hasegawa 1/8 Dr.1, so why not the HMS Victory? So my question is, what would be the best kit to start my ship building adventure while the Mamoli kit sits waiting. Thank you in advance for any help!

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.
