    Congratulations Chris, another fine card build. You have inspired me,I might have to get a card model out of my stash next time I hit a hard bit on my current project.

    Great job, interesting subject!

    I’ll be following along, not seen a Flyhawk kit before.

    Welcome back Jonathan, hope you are well!

    Well as Sparkler is undergoing an 'ugly' phase of the build; lots and sanding, filling, primer - repeat and there is nothing much to report until that stage is done, I thought I would show the progress so far on the little 18ft. Cutter I have bought from VM to go with it. This is one of Vanguard's wood mini kits and not the latest Resin incarnation. I just wanted to try one, but can see myself getting the resin versions in future. There are a few logs on MSW for these mini kits, so I won't repeat what has already been said elsewhere, other than to note they are just as great quality as the main kits. The only thing I have tried to do is hone my planking skills on this smaller scale, so I did shaping and edge bending as with the main kit. I used the Super Phatic glue mentioned before and pinned the planks in place as I went. One of the hairiest parts 😬 was removing the MDF bulkheads after sanding the outer hull. - All went well in the end, but what a relief not to break anything! 😁 The last picture shows a 'dry-fit' of the P.E. deck parts. More updates in due course as I need relief from sanding & filling, thanks for looking in. 👋

    Good to see you back in the saddle Bob, making model ships is good for the soul!
  29. AJohnson
    “Pew Pew” ⚡ that should have the Rebel Alliance quaking in the boots! 😆 I was going to wish you good luck on the new investment, but somehow think you will be fine - churning out 100’s of Surprises in 2026!
  30. AJohnson
    That looks so good, well done 👏

    Thank you Andy for your (not at all inane) ramblings and great photographs of the principles shown on a real boat! You deserve that drink! 🍹

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.
