    update to cannonball display: cannonball rack placements This is a snippet from an article written by Alfred S. Brownell entitled "A Model of the Brig Niagara" published in Volume 16 (pages 199-210) of the Nautical Research Journal which included a history and several photographs of his model of Niagara. I do not know if the article is still available. Check with the folks at the Nautical Research Journal... Gleason

    hi! I really don't have a recipe... I use a 1/2 inch brush and paint in one direction only. [ generally bow to stern ] After the paint has dried, I use a a brush with soft brass bristles and go over the paint VERY lightly with the brush. How much you scrape off is a matter of personal choice. I Inherited the brush from my father who was a jeweler...

    The "binder clamps" I used are a copy of the clamps as pictured in the model manual. I will use them as long as I can, and then switch to pins. Lettering was hand painted: This is the last post I made of the original build on Mon Sep 17, 2012. The next set of postings will start from where I left off… Stay tuned…J

    This is a repost of a kit I originally started on Fri, Nov 26, 2010. Needless to say it has been awhile since I worked on the kit. I managed to find all the old postings/photos previously posted prior to the crash of MSW. I will post some highlights/photos of the ‘old’ build and then continue with ‘new’ rebuild section later Kit is well designed and the instructions in the manual are pretty straight forward which makes the assembly of the model assembly. The lumber is laser-cut, and there is a good supply of photo-etch materials included with the kit. For those interested,

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.
