    So after much looking around for a kit that would be an relatively easy build (but of course providing some element of a challenge) I settled on OcCres Polaris. I was also particularly swayed and impressed by the entire run on Youtube videos that OcCre provides in correlation with this build, and despite the rather clear and concise instructions that are provided within the kit, the videos do add an element of instruction that fill in any gaps if you are unsure of the build process. They are also a great way to visually learn new techniques, certainly ones that I wasnt aware of. So as for the kit contents, see below for pics that I got from online. For some reason I didn't get any pics of the unboxing stage.

    So having joined Model Ship World almost a year ago, I finally have the time to document my first wooden ship model build. I have had experience in building plastic kits as well as modelling scenery. So I decided to give ship building a bash and to see what the outcome would be. As it turns out I have been rather enjoying the hobby, having put in a large amount of research prior to committing to a build. However, due to being in the Royal Navy, my modelling time is limited as to when I can get home and to find time to do some work. So far with being away and lockdown I have only managed to do part of the build, and my intention is to document my build here with the pics that I have taken thus far through the build (which started in April of this year!) After that I shall try and upload every few days to keep you all up to date with my build.

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.
