    Amazing job! I’m a beginner and can only dream about getting to your skill level.

    Can someone recommend the type and size brushes I should get to paint with? Thanks.

    Worked on the cabin. Took me some time but eventually figured it out.

    Took some time off and went sailing on my Marshall Sanderling Catboat.

    Getting closer. Will glue keel, stern, & bow parts soon.

    Any problem using Elmers wood filler? I’ve had good luck in woodworking applications.

    I can get a set o 4 for $76. There is also one that costs $76. Which way did you go?

    Working on the hull. Again, I found the directions a little unclear. I found on this forum, pictures of other Yankee Hero builds that helped immensely.

    There are 2 inserts each which have a different size opening on the end. When I use the smallest end with the largest big, I can’t get the chuck tight enough to secure the bit. Forgot the 2 smaller bits that came with the kit. I’m thinking I am doing something wrong or the pin vice is substandard.

    After using the templates to shape the bow & stern, I laid out the lines for shaping the hull. I found the directions a little tricky. I ultimately “eyeballed” the lines on the bottom of the hull. They look good to me.

    I’m using the pin Vice that came with the Yankee Hero kit from Blue Crafters. 3 bits were included. I’m having difficulty getting the drill bit to lock into the chuck. Any advice would be appreciated.
  13. Ed Gibbons
    Checked to see if everything was included. Started reviewing directions and thus far everything is easy to follow.

    This is what it should look like at completion.

    This is my first attempt at model building since my youth when then it was plastic jets and boats using the now banned model glue. This is a kit that is designed for beginners. I’ll keep everyone updated and am looking forward to receiving feedback.

    Can anyone recommend a vice/holder for planking? Thanks.

    I am new to this and am ready to embark building a Catboat from a kit. Can anyone recommend the tools I will need? Thanks

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.
