    Looking great! Nice job with the sails!

    The model is still looking rough and will require more filling, sanding and shaping. I don’t really build that many normal styrene models. Most of my plastics are 28mm war gaming models, which use a different version of styrene, or a different type of plastic entirely. Most of the rest of mine are either wood, metal, card or resin. Is there any good way to fill gaps in the clear plastic?

    I finished the assembly: The base is temporary. A buddy of mine is making the permanent base, but it will mount like it is now. I’ve done this style base for two other models now, and it looks great when done. The temporary base will get used with another flying model out of my stash (and I have too many to count).

    The bottom has been closed up (mostly). Most gaps are filled. It’s a Revell kit, so there was plenty of fitting and plenty of gaps left over. It looks really rough right now. That will change once a temporary base is made and the model gets its first coat of paint.

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.
