    Alan, Thank you very much! The main structure of all six secondary turrets are done: I need to clean them up, paint them all and make/add ladders & railings. These have been very slow going. Each of those turrets will have about fifty pieces each when complete. That makes for approximately 300 pieces between the six turrets. That’s just part of these models though. I am enjoying this build very much! It is a good challenge!

    I brush on the Folk Art Clear Primer. It works great!

    Jeff, The Baltimore turned out great! I agree about most card model instructions leaving a lot open to interpretation. I have been coating both sides of a card model with sealant (the generic Folk Art variety from Hobby Lobby or Michael’s) prior to cutting anything out. That saves a LOT of aggravation with small/intricate parts delaminating.

    Bob, That looks like the figurehead on the Golden Hinde replica in London. Your Golden Hinde is looking great! Also, I’m glad to hear that your arm is feeling better!

    Absolutely amazing work, Greg!

    I have made more progress on the secondary battery: And here they are now: I discovered a series of games called “Bioshock” and played them all the way through. I greatly enjoy the steampunk and diesel punk genres of science fiction. I think that is closely related to why I like ironclads, transition era warships and predreadnoughts so much.

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.
