    Thanks for the reply. Do you find any scale problems with Amati?  Another builder mentioned he has when he built the La Pinta. He mentioned in the two Amati kits he has now, he found problems with scale and variations in quality of materials and directions. One had good materials but poor directions. The second was vice versa. Odd. I would think QC would ensure repeated consistency in directions and materials.

      Yes you will find issues with both.   But these older companies will always have those problems.  Of the two....Latina is immeasurably worse.

    How many builders use nails or wood trunnels to fasten planking or decking?  Are all planking timbers beveled?

      Hi Larry:  I am new to the craft.  This would be best addressed to a more experienced modeler.  Thanks and Happy New Year

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.
