    What is the best scale kits for quality details, I'm into 1:64 scale myself and I believe the higher the scale the less detail? Is there a popular kit scale out there most of us like to model?

    Think I will have to get on to one of those, I'm always looking for a particular thread and it's never to be seen! I have my thread on spools but they are just left in a box, so thanks for the idea.

    I see the Portsmouth from Mamoli looks like a nice not too big or not too small kind of build. I have been wanting that kit for a while. It is 1:64, I'm into all my 1:64th stuff at the moment although my paddle steamer I'm in the middle of at the moment is 1:80th. There's a lot of great kits out there for the interests of everyone so don't worry, you'll make you mind up.

    Have a look on the box, it should give you the witdth, length and height of the model, measure the height of the hull from keel to deck then subtract that off the height on the box, just remember to allow for the base of the mast below deck level.

    Actually a really great idea. Now I have to build one too!

    Great story! 10 out of 10 for making do with limited resources. I wonder how fast she was going with all that drag.

    On the topic of rope staining, I'm looking for a glue that does not stain the threads when it dries, any ideas?

    This is what I'm in the middle of now. I came to the same problems as you with the boiler room and engine room not alining up. I had thought about extending the structure but instead I had done just as you had. Planking the hull I had just enough strips but way to close for comfort. Thanks, reading this has given me a heads up for possible problems later in the build, keep up the great work!

    What a master piece! Great attention to detail. Love the planking good job

    I once herd that rope coils lying on the deck of a ship had to be coiled in a certain way. Is this true and if so which way and why?

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.
