    Great pictures - they are most helpful. I am on to the deck furniture and not sure where I am going with things like the engine, funnel, etc., but the pictures show me what goes where - thank you. [My wife gave this to me as a wedding present 28 years ago, and I have just retired so at last started work on it!]

    This is me after maybe one year. I am pleased with the way things have gone (via a broken keel - the original was 5mm ply and the replacement ordered from AL is 3mm - but all seems to have come together quite well). I am now sweating on making the hull as smooth as possible (but how smooth is that?!). Then I am wary about going on to adding the false keel. How is that attached to the keel? Is it jus stuck on? - and also the bulwarks... I might treat them like the planking - damping them then fitting them to the required shape with our iron, and then adding the planking. PS I can't upload a couple of prior pictures to these two - maybe the file is too large?

    Thank you, you guys, for going before me on this. I have just started this, (a wedding present given me by my wife 26 years ago!) and have come up against a number of things you mention. Now it is the gaps between the deck and the tops of the frames. However I feel encouraged that there are solutions and others have come across the same questions!

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.
