    Thank you all for the warm welcome! After a little trouble with DPD I've received everything today. My daughter's already had a good look through and pointed out how shiny the "boomers" are. Really pleased with the quality with it all at first glance, and also a little daunted with the size of the blocks! I have no idea how I'm going to thread them! Tonight with a cup of tea I'll settle down and take inventory and rig up some sort of temporary stand. I've seen a lot of people in their logs choose to 'upgrade' parts and fixings to their models. Does anyone have experience with the Cruiser who might suggest some upgrades for down the line? Thanks Richard

    Hi all, Very happy to be here amongst this wealth of knowledge. I've spent the last day trawling through build logs and tutorials trying to get an understanding on the basics of model ship building. As today, my first model ship kit arrives. The Caldercraft HMS Cruizer (or Cruiser) and I can't tell you how excited I am to receive it. I've watched this hobby with great interest for a number of years, but never took the plunge due to the percepted level of complexity that comes with building a wooden model ship. I always thought it would be far beyond my skill set and I just wouldn't have the time to stick at it and lead a build to completion. However, I thought sod it and give it a go. Better to try and fail than not try at all right? I'm somewhat experienced with model making and painting. But that usually comes with a strict instructions with little room for creative license. Either way I hope I have the foundations in place to become a competent model ship builder... With all your help of course! I'll start a log in the coming days and no doubt will plea for help along the way. Many thanks Richard.

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.
