    Hi Mtaylor, Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. I will check out the post you attached to your response. If and when I take a stab at building I will log my attempt 😅, that's a great idea.

    Thanks for the information ccoyle! I haven't found scala anywhere, but I think the model is from 1987 or after. I found the year on the advertisement leaflet. I would actually be happy with the $50 because I bought it for €2,50. From your comment I gather ship kits can be very pricey. I'm too nervous to start anything myself, and think I'd need to see a great model ship up close to get properly inspired. I have no idea what I would build. Do people also build docks for their boats? Little lighthouses? Do they ever see if their ships stay afloat and catch the wind for real? How about building a model with cardboard and paper? How about submarine models?! 😅 I feel like I have a lot more research to do. So much I have no clue about. Kind regards, Ellen

    Hi everyone, I'm absolutely new to this forum and the world of model building. I'm from the Netherlands. I was wondering if someone could help me with information on: Caravella di C. Colombo 541/SM Pinta (Aeropiccola) I bought one recently, but have never built a model of anything before. I was wondering if you know how old it is? What price I should ask if I were to sell? And where I might best try selling the kit or model. I'm assuming it's worth more now, than when I've made it. It would be fun to give it a go, but maybe I should sell this one and try with a simple/cheap kit instead. Since I have no idea what I'm doing. Also, how do people know the scale of the model? I see people writing about 1:2000 or something like that, but I can't find anything like that on the box. Does that mean mine isn't to scale? The model kit is complete and comes with an instruction manual in Italian and in English. Hoping I successfully attached a picture to this post. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated very much so. Kind regards, Ellen Mulder

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.
