    Hi Jim! I know, this is old, And I’ve been tearing my hair out with this, between out of stock parts, and incorrect parts being shipped, but I’m really having a problem applying the shoe polish, and getting it to stay in the engraved areas. Help me please! Thanks, John.

    Great! Thank you. I thought about it before including my email addy, but I hadn’t found the PM feature yet. I’m still new here! 😉

    Hi Grant, I got a shipment today, and they skipped 2 issues: #19 and #21 were not included. I contacted Eaglemoss, and they assured me they will be coming soon (out of stock). Meanwhile, I have a bunch of parts I not quite sure of. Building the main gears is pretty straightforward, but there are some new parts I haven’t seen yer, and I’m curious as to how much I can pre-build while waiting for the missing issues/parts. If you have a PDF of the complete set of instructions, I’d LOVE to have a copy. I enjoy reading through them before actually starting a build, anyway, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could send that file. My email address is: EMAIL ADDY REMOVED Thank you so much! 👍👍 John John, I removed your email addy. MSW gets crawled by a ton of "bots" and you email will fast end up with spammers and other miscreants. Send Grant a PM with your email in it which is the safest way.

    Thanks folks! I discovered my mistake several days ago, before I got to see your suggestions. I appreciate all of the responses!👍👍

    An imbecile, I am! 😜 I decided to review all of the assembly steps from the beginning, and in the process I discovered on Instruction spread #3 parts list is a 47-tooth gear disk (Part #38, Item #2), which is part of the Earth gear set assembly, and had used THAT, instead of the 41-tooth gear disk (Part #28, Item #2, on instruction spread #2). No wonder it wouldn’t engage properly! I was certain I had counted the teeth on all the gear disks. There’s a real quirk in the way the issues and parts are distributed: They give you parts before you need them, and make you wait for the next shipment. You always have parts for future use laying around… Anyway. I think I’ve got it Sussed!

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.
