    As a new member (4th June 2020) I may be doing this wrong and I apologize if so. I have the above model and, although have read through the instructions and reviewed all the plans, I must admit to be struggling on how you make and fit the the gun port linings. Also how you fix the cannons on the Middle Gun Deck (#22) between bulkheads 14-17 where there is no deck ? Any help or references are much appreciated. regards Dave

    Hello, I have some questions relating to the Caldercraft HMS Victory 1:72 model. I have some questions for the experts, which I am not, I have built other ships (Cutty Sark), etc. but I am a little confused on some small but critical points. 1) The instructions suggest that I should fix (glue) the gun port pattern pieces early in construction but if this is done the cannons canot be installed due to the 'dummy barrel strip' as it does not have enough depth for the cannons....? Of am I missing something obvious...? 2) Lining the gun ports - It is clear that you have to build them individually but for the ones dummy cannons on the Lower Deck how should they be supported / fixed in position...? 3) Also related - on the Middle Gun deck which is used to hold the bulkheads in position, between bulkheads 14 - 17 there is no deck where the cannons should go...how do you make / fix the linings and subsequentially the cannons. The instructions are 'vague' in this area. Just to be clear I am in the very early stages an have been through the 'instructions' and the plans to try to ensure I make no mistakes before I progress. Can any modeller help...? Regards David

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.
