    I finally got started on my kit this weekend. I glued together the keep with the bulkheads and plank termination patterns, they all fit pretty well. Then I glued on the false deck, again it fit pretty snug. But after about 30 minutes I took another look at it and realized it was slightly off center, so I unglued it with some warm water and put it back together. After letting that dry I started sanding down the bulkheads, but will need to continue another time as the weekend is already up. I did end up buying a toolbox as my workstation was getting a little cluttered.

    Good luck! You should start a log so I can learn from your experience as well, plus you can get some advice from others!

    The Lady Nelson will be my very first ship build. A few months ago I built a plastic model ship and had a lot of fun doing it, however it was very straight forward and didn't provide much of a challenge. After doing some research I found this website, and after reading some of the posts I decided on this to be my first build. It just arrived today! I was very excited and wanted to get started straight away. However I calmed myself down and made sure to go through all of the plans and instructions. After not being able to understand the instructions completely I decided to hold off on starting and doing some more research, as well as getting some more tool/materials that I will need as I progress. I am very excited to be joining this community and look forward to learning, messing up, but most of all to enjoy myself! I would appreciate any help and advice you guys could give, and I will be updating this log once I'm comfortable enough to begin my build.

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.
