    Of all the ship kit manufacturers which have the most detailed build instruction? Latina Artisia seemed decent, but Occre seems to be inconsistent. The HM Lady Nelson had good enough, though not great, instructions while the HMS Terror is a few line of text and photos. Any thoughts or sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

    Sorry, we have a freezer in the basement and it has curved edges so I use that. And slightly rounded metal or wood that doesn’t move will do.

    Use a steam iron. I put a towel on a freezer then steam the wood, not too much, and then gently pull the wood under the iron using the rounded top of the freezer to get the bend I want.

    Are there any close up photos of where all these lines tie off on the deck and bulwarks anywhere on the net? The Amati instructions are nothing more than incomplete blueprints. Very frustrating. Thank you, Jim

    As a newbie, not to seem too stupid about it, but you refer to Build Logs, but using search renders nothing and I’ll be darned if I can find another link in the menu.  A like would be very helpful, if possible.

     

    Thank you,

    Jim

      Ahh!!! A build log is a topic that out

      r members start that details their progress on any particular model.  
       

      If you go to the main forum page,  and scroll down a bit you will see an area for for folks to start these.  There is a bar that reads “member build logs”.  There are two forum areas under this.  One for scratch models and another for models being built from kits.  They are broken down by era based on the date your model was built and launched.  We have thousands of such build logs on almost every kit.  And a thousand more for scratch built models.

    Thanks Chuck. The videos of you planking at some event were insightful.

    Hi Chuck, Ooops. I am new to the world of model shipbuilding and this site. I was trying to find your video about measuring before planking. Could you please guide me to that video? Thank you, Jim

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.
