    Thanks Roger Pellett. Tom Ruggiero, I'm eventually going to build this kit again mainly because I left the sheer stripe off. I've built quite a few more models since this one and am confident that I somehow will get that yellow stripe on there lol. As previously mentioned this was my first model in decades so I didn't know how to approach many things. Besides the sheer stripe the next one will get decals, proper rigging, and better hull colors. Good luck with your build.

    The kit I built (11320) comes with some photo etch too. There are also metal masts available for this kit made by Master Models. I bought an old Entex kit for spare parts and found the parts were much cleaner in some areas than the newer Minicraft.

    I'm not an expert but I believe it may be the only 1:350 kit available. It has been sold by other company names in the past but they are basically the same kit with a few updates along the way. I think there is a kit by another manufacturer in 1:400, Academy, but I haven't built it.

    Thanks Lou.

    Thanks wemattson and OC. 1/450 QE2 is as done as I’m gonna make it. It was a quick project, a little over 3 weeks and in some places it shows lol. I’m satisfied with it for a rush job. Biggest issue was I broke off the tiny piece of mast that holds the rigging….after it was rigged. Even though it’s crooked I’m lucky I got the glue to hold it back on at all.

    Adding a little more PE to her.
  28. ChrisSC
    Some more progress made.

    A little more progress.

    Glued the first two decks down and started some PE on 1/450 QE2.
  31. ChrisSC
    Thanks OC. I just blackened all the portholes on the white area of the hull. That's it for today.
  32. ChrisSC
    Thanks wemattson. Started painting the hull and some other bits on 1/450 QE2.

    Thanks Yves and Wayne. I've bought almost all of them on Ebay since that seems to be the only place the out of production kits are available. The Titanic is the exception as it can be purchased almost anywhere. I am running out of places to put them though lol. The smaller scale kits are on a cheap shelving unit and the 1/350's have their own tables to sit on. I have no clue where I will put the 1/200 Titanic when I get around to building that. It almost needs its own room!

    Did some more painting and installed the chains.

    Hi OC. I did quite a few ships in a small amount of time so I took a break. I'm a little rusty lol.

    Starting a 1/450 QE2.

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.
