    I would apply clear coats to all painted surfaces and especially prior to decaling and again after decaling. Also note in respect of Alclad metallic paints: Your surface must be perfect before applying the metallic as metallic paints show up your surface defects. Prime in a dark colour before applying metallic paints for best effects, use the Gunze levelling thinner. Polish YouTube is your friend

    Excellent

    😂 Kurt, Dowmer. Seriously, the perfection on such a small boat is incredible.

    Now that would be a large diorama

    Oh, thanks for setting me straight

    The tracks look pretty disappointing for what otherwise looks like a quality kit (& build). Maybe this is something that can be easily fixed through a rail model supplier. If I purchase this I would think of a diorama with the carriage at a platform but I assume this is a pretty big kit already.

    Dan, I've never been into carriages but that is an impressive kit and an impressive build. Notwithstanding, I was looking the Amati Orient Express which is around 700 EUROS, Amati state on their website that postage is free but I haven't tested this theory yet. RICHMOND

    Unsurpassable, a work of art.

    Hello everyone and thank you for your feedback Snowy, what plastic modelling did you do, I am currently getting into Wingnut Wings, my main interest is 1:32 propellor. How many hours did you spend on that first ship?

    Chris I was aware of Cornwall but their postage seems exorbitant. I am going for the AL Bluenose 2 as my first build and they wanted to charge me 55 GBP for delivery. I am going to wait for BNA to restock. Snowy - good to see another scale modeller in Darwin, are you just interested in wooden ships, or do you get involved in plastics? John, g'day Regards Richmond

    Hello from Darwin Australia, I wish to diversify from plastic modelling and have always been interested in wooden ships, an existing member thoroughly recommended this website and said it was a great resource for builds. I am keen to start building and was looking at the recommended entry level kits on the model boat yard website. The problem with living in Australia is always range and availability of products and its a major issue in Darwin as we no longer have any hobby shops - all probably driven out of business due to the competitiveness of online sellers. We have great web resources in the plastic modelling field and can get a feel for which national and international online retailers are trustworthy based on comments in the forums. I have now branched out to Japan and eastern Europe for some of my plastic modelling needs based on feedback on those forums. I would be interested to hear how other Australian members get around the range and availability issues for their wooden ship kits. Regards 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.
