    Orel, HMV and Schreiber kits are still available on Amazon. Hopefully the other card kit sellers figure out the tariff situation and adjust their shipping policies/prices accordingly.

    That looks amazing!

    Alan, Excellent work! Very nicely done!

    I would also enjoy painting that set on its own. Those miniatures look incredible!

    Making good progress on the 40’ mine launches: It didn’t come with the keels/rudder assemblies, so I just made my own: I still need to make the bilge keels and a bunch of railings. Maybe I’ll make a couple of quick three bladed props while I’m at it.

    Card makes a great substitute for PE. It works beautifully for railings, ladders and gratings! You just have to coat both sides in sealant prior to cutting.

    Welcome! Incredible work!

    Sorry to hear about that Kevin. Hope everything goes well and that she is okay soon!

    Greg, That looks amazing!

    Mark, Thank you very much for the compliment! I am learning and continually getting better! The torpedo boats are painted, sealed (drying) and awaiting installation after I install the full running rigging: Next up are the 40’ mine launches!

    The V-108 is looking good! The vents look like ventilation to me.

    Alan and Mark, Thank you very much! Paper/card has become my favorite base medium to work in for ships! I have assembled the two torpedo/attack boats: They were pretty involved and still need painted/sealed. I am displaying them with the masts and flagpoles laid down as I imagine they would have been stored since they will sit in cradles. I have two mine boats to make and that’s it for the motor launches. Then I have eight rowed boats to make.

    Very nicely done!

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.
