Well I put some primer down and also built the display stand. My air brush abilities are limited and I feel like I need a air brush with a wider spray pattern...I will have to check my tips. I’m thinking I let it dry, sand it then spray color on it.

Very nice! I would love to see a picture of one if you don’t mind. I found the bulwarks were easiest to carve with a dremel tool, followed by a scalpel with #11 blade for some fine carving...my kit which was purchased about two months ago was laser cut basswood for the pilot house. Any advice on fastening the windows? It has a lot of nice details.

What a wonderful hobby to enjoy with your son! Best of luck with your build, you should certainly start a log 😊 -

Just for fun I cleaned up some fittings and laid them out to see what things will look like...this is actually a pretty nice model for the money! Lots of details and since it isn’t a real boat as they state in the beginning of the kit you could go many directions or color schemes, which I am undecided still...thinking black hull and red cabins with white highlights.

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.
