    Looking forward to insights on painting and staining. Is it best practice to paint/stain as a model ship is being built, or is it better to wait until the entire ship is built, then paint and stain? Thanks for insights and help.

    Thank you, mtaylor and Edwardkenway for welcoming me. Louie da fly, thank you for recommending a build log and your positive feedback about the FIFIE, Lady Eleanor model. I am so glad to hear of your friendship with Frank Mastini, Ryland Craze. You are blessed to have connected with him. And, I am confident He is grateful that you are commemorating him with thoughtful and positive memories, thereby helping persons, such as myself, to learn more about wood kit ship building. Thanks for the welcome, JJT, and, a G'day to you as well, Jim Lad.

    Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself to the MSW family. My name is Thomas, and my Wife and I reside in Chino Hills, California. I have taken a few days to familiarize myself with the quality, model ship building tutorials, howto and build logs on MSW, allowing me to become more confident, as I begin my journey on model ship building. My first build will be the FIFIE Lady Eleanor (Vanguard), as my Wife loved the picture of it with the dyed, red'ish/pink'ish sails. For educational purposes, I am studying: Ship Modeling Simplified, by Mastini, Planking Techniques For Model Ship Builders, by Dressel, Period Ship Kit Builder's Manual, by Julier, and Ship Modeling From Stem To Stern, by Roth. I would like to acknowledge Jason at Ages of Sail, San Lorenzo, California, for his care, patience, know how and how to, provided to me, as I begin the journey of model ship building. Thank you for taking the time to ready my member introduction.

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.
