Getting Started: From Dollhouses to the USS Constitution
CPDDET replied to Jasennord's topic in New member Introductions
After finishing the 3 model starter kits you might want to consider completing the NRG Half Hull kit. It will teach you correct hull planking. This is an area that stumps many first time builders. The kit will explain spiling, the way ships hulls were actually planked. Mix this technique with edge bending (an alternate method) and you will be well on your way. -

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.
