best SECOND model ship kit recommendations
Knocklouder replied to palmerit's topic in Wood ship model kits
Better get busy on your Sherbourne, because once the Duchess of Kingston gets to your shipyard it becomes all about her. Lol. It took Covid to stop me lol but I am on the meand, feel free to look at my log it will show you what to avoid, I have made mistakes. But even with those she is a beautiful ship. And the kit fantastic, you'll be very happy I am sure. Bob M. -

Hi, I used my thrid hand to draw mine, I have seen a jig made out if a toilet paper roll. Lol. After I leveled the ship and knew were to draw the line, clamped it in both clamps and away I went. MSW / NRG has a work shop video on this very subject, I found that really helpful. Great looking ship, Bob M.

Hey, Hey, Hey look what this: it's my New Duchess of Kingston, She is not painted yet, also she not here yet lol. My good and talented friend @Gabek has this waiting for me to pick up. She even looks like she given the Adrmrial the look. Lol I got something for him as well, but we will h0ave to wait. Ya the big old Covid truck parked it's self here at the shipyard the whole crew got it. Goober is shutting things down, Pile is way to sick to continue .. They had a great time sailing, said it's eazy when you have Gnomer Pile finger power. Lol. So I did a little more stepping of the masts, just a bit, but going to have to shut it down again. Oh well give me more time to look around for rigging info. There is just so much to learn, what a fantastic hobby. And what better place to be then MSW. Thanks everyone ☺️ Bob M. ANd crew . .. And today's special thanks 😊 🙏 ☺️ 😘 @Gabek for his fantastic figure lol. Of the Duchess. Stay safe my freinds see you soon.!!! Sorry the last to pictures I wasn't going to post but it did anyway , But I know how it happened so I shouldn't do it again sorry.

That looks great my friend, I had foot lockers for mine that were way to big, but I think each Viking had his own Bob M.

Hello Tim, you may want to contact Artesania Latina, and see if they will send you a replacement, some companies have been known to replace messed up parts. But if not like @Baker says try to furled the sail, that way you don't have to repaint all the sails to make them the same. Bob M.

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.
