    Hmm, I'll have to think about it. I've never done plastic, and am not sure how to make it look wooden. Would a sprayed on matte paint do the trick?

    Thank you for volunteering, but I got one from [redacted], which I'll enjoy making, but can't ask for help, sadly

    I'm looking to bash one of my cheap ship in a bottle kits to be a pirate ship in a Crystal Head vodka bottle. Now I've made one ship in a bottle already, and was quite successful, especially for a first attempt. However, that was in a horizontal bottle. When made in a vertical bottle, is there any difference, other than making sure it's really secure, then pulling the string straight up? If anyone knows of a dirt cheap vertical kit, that'd be really helpful. Or if it's permissable to share the manual for either Woody Joe upright kit, that could help

    Darn, I was hoping there was a "real" wooden one. I'm several years from bashing into a different model, so I'll be flying solo Wish me luck! Then I can use the links here to get authentic models

    I posted here asking for help with getting the legit model of the Pearl. However with you saying about actually seeing the box and there in fact being an unboxing video, thoughts?

    In my haste to just find a Black Pearl kit, I didn't even realize that even model ships were ripped off. As such, when I saw a $400 Black Pearl kit on ZHL, I was excited and bought it. Because I'll definitely need help once I've made a few other ships and get to this one, where's the original that I can try and return the ZHL model?

    Thanks everyone! And I do have a kit I started and nearly abandoned before finding out about this place. Mental note: don't order ship kits from Wish. I decided to pick it up again because f it, but I didn't start the log yet Edit: just read that a lot of Chinese companies rip off legit sites, and part of why I joined was to get help when I eventually work up to the solid Black Pearl kit I bought. From ZHL. And I can only assume the one from Wish is a knockoff. Well, once I have worked through those, I'll find legit companies. What's the best way to tell?

    Hi, I'm Joseph. One of my favorite interests outside of crafts was masted sailing ships. Now I've had a lot of experience with making paper models and assembling wooden kits (Ugears, if you're familiar, primarily). With this quarantine, I decided I may as well try my hand at making my own ship. So, I started by purchasing two kits off of Wish. I'll start a build log of the "high quality" kit soon enough. Ultimately, I'd like to put together a Black Pearl. In lurking before joining, I'm gonna make several models prior to taking on the Pearl. Outside of ships, I'm quite the annoyingly crafty person. Basically, if I'm interested, I'll give it a whirl. My biggest hobbies are origami, knitting, and crocheting. Recently I've started up with beading

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.
