    I have the LED version of this model and I am planning this is my next build. Glad to see someone paving the way. May I ask who was the manufacturer for the photo etch you purchased. My kit comes with some limited photo etch and I am shopping around for more detail. I have been looking at Tom's Modelworks, Gold Medal Models and Rainbow's Titanic sets, there may be others I am not aware of.

    Does anyone know where I can purchase a set of French Curves in steel. There seems to be a lot of plastic ones on the web - but I am struggling to find steel versions. Preferbally these need to be a small set similar to the plastic sets you see in stationary stores. RICHMOND

    Last time I heard they were in administration - search MSW - there is already a topic on this -there may be updates.

    Its his deadpan look that always gets me. Funny guy I think he did all own stunts - some pretty dangerous situations in that small segment alone.

    Has anyone ever considered a MSW sanctioned group build for a plastic model kit? - This was not in the voting options.

    Quality HD photographs and I am still struggling to find any faults - those railings and stairs look magnificent. I would have been scared to fit the railing until I had fitted all the other parts - Can I assume you have appropriate above the line controls in place 😉

    CDW - I have this kit as well - here are the instructions 115195-98-instructions.pdf

    I Model Kit brings up the many alternatives for SC03 - using the software the best matches I can see from the main brands are Tamiya XF75 or TS66 Val Air 71.050 AK 733 All are very slightly darker but I am certain you would never get an exact match when switching between brands.

    I use the Tamiya pin vise - their model 74112 is their best one as it takes 0.1mm to 3.1mm bits https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/74112pinvise_d_r/index.htm If you shop around you shouldn't have to pay more than $17 for it.

    Thanks John - I am struggling with the build (I have dropped it /knocked it over twice) and it is really a horrible kit and not an enjoyable build I was just completing the rigging and knocked it over for the second time and bits come flying off everywhere - a testament to my poor gluing techniques or just the poor fitting and constructability of the model generally. I will ensure I will construct my own base on any future ship models - that way it will be more stable and probably easier to build. I hope to have the finished model to show in a week or so. To tell you the truth I just want to get it finished and will forget the weathering and just put on the shelf. I think you can see it in the background of one of my work space photographs minus the top deck which is now sitting forlorn behind it! I really do not recommend purchasing it. Richmond.

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.
