    HI Rob, Like you I have purchased this kit to do in my retirement. I bought it from a gentleman who partially completed it. I think it it all there but does yours have a Parts List? I have Instructions Sheets 1 - 16 and A B and C. I see they have parts listed on them for progress, but it would be great of there was a sheet with all the bits listed, especially the timber. I am lucky that the fittings bags are still sealed, so trusting they are all there, but want the list of timbers so I can source them in readiness. Also to work out what type they are, Walnut Birch etc. No doubt it will be on the Instruction Sheets, but a comprehensive sheet would make it easy.

    Hi Daniel,

    I recently purchased the Mamoli HMS Victory 1:90 kit.  As you will see it was an old kit that a gentleman started but lost interest. It appears to have most of the parts and pieces as the fittings bags are still sealed. I believe I have all the Instruction Sheets( 1 - 16 and A, B and C). What I would like to know was there a Parts List/ Inventory List that came with the kit? The bags of "copper" plates and gun ports are inside he box, I am more concerned with the timber parts. I am wanting to know what the types of timbers and thicknesses (plys) they are. There are a lot of strips and dowels that I have not sorted yet for the planking and masts/spars. This is my first Mamoli kit I have purchased and getting things together in preparation to start in the near future in my retirement.

    I have just seen this and now wondering how it has progressed? Also to compliment you on what a great setup you have! I should have done something like that for my lockdown projects here in Melbourne instead of Jigsaw puzzles. I did the 1:96 Revel plastic model of both Cutty Sark and Thermopalaye back in the late 1970s. Bought the Imai plank on frame 1:80 plank on frame, but never really started it. Plans to build it and encompass it into a bar. I have those books on rigging I saw mentioned in an earlier post. My step father had them from when he did a model of the Golden Hind. I have that book The Log of the Cutty Sark, with the dust cover. Now thinking of clearing out the back shed of the home brew kits and Christmas decorations and making it into a modelling room...

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.
