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.

I so hope someone reads this.
Name is Harry.
New at all this.
Please let me know the correct way to post any questions I may have on a Caldercraft build of HMS Victory.
Essentially just started and have completed the 1st planking, filled, sanded, and smooth.
Do I really have to install walnut over the 1st planking if I intend to apply the copper plates?
Or, does the 2nd planking begin where the 1st ends and proceed upward.
Confused, and would appreciate guidance.
I can't really tell from the excellent pictures whether it's 2nd planking over the 1st or if the first was just stained to match.
Thanks in advance.
Harry
