    Hello Chris, thanks for the reply and the input. Yes, I too am going to use the scaledecks decking for this and several other builds I have. I have read through your experiences that you've posted regarding the decking, and I see that it is probably best that I sand the decks smooth, then spray them with a gloss base color and then add the decks on top. I got that last tip from Nigel of Nigel's Modeling Bench fame on YouTube, and he mentioned these very decks and that prep method to ensure the best initial fit and adhesion with the glue. And thanks for the heads up on the paint colors, I think your choices are excellent and I'll probably use those very same paints and mixtures for my build. Thanks again and happy building!

    Hello Chris, Your foray back into scale modeling, in particular with the glorious liners of the past, is something I too am re-embarking upon after being absent over a decade or so from the craft. I have a previous version of this kit, the old Entex version, and I will be starting her soon after I finish my 1/350 Minicraft Titanic. I wanted to ask you as to what bits you used in your Foredom hand tool for the railing removal, (and what bits you recommend) and what colors you used for the hull and for the elusive "Cunard Red" as you seem to have captured the color perfectly. Anyway, thank you for the inspiration and photos. If you have any other advice on this build, I would greatly appreciate it. Upon looking at your other builds, it seems we really are on the same path, perhaps it's in the name, as my middle name is Christopher, lol. Anyway, thanks for any advice and tips that you can provide.

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.
