    Hi all As before I like to do as much of the build as possible , so it was time to paint the cabin windows ( blue and gold ). As you can see the laser cut went a bit astray !! ( what happened to quality control !!!! ) will tell you more as the build continues. Denis.

    Hi all Like the cap rails I pre stained the deck fittings and gave them just one coat of satin varnish when all was glued to the decks I gave the decks and the fittings one more coat of satin varnish. Denis.

    Hi all The ply board that the curves are on require cutting up into 7 pieces, the parts that make up the curves have to be soaked in water then I used an electric plank bender to form the curves. The decks have 2 good coats of sanding sealer and only sanded them down ( will varnish later ). The curves have 2 coats of sealer and 2 thin coats of thin black acrylic. Denis.

    Just like a kid with a new toy I had to start her build asap. To all you men out there most of you will relate to what I am going to say. We never read the instruction book do we. First rule make sure you have all the parts ( I did not do this and it will come to bite me on the back side later ). As I understand it the original SOS had gilded carvings on a black background. So I did some tests with Gloss, Semi Gloss and Satin, I decided on the Satin. Denis.

    Ok looks like we all have to start again. Start with the box. Picked it up from TNT customs, as it cost way over $1,000nz dollars I had to pay import tax and Gst I think that came to an extra $480nz, the total all up was $2,500nz. Denis

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.
