    I. Very familiar with the processes for getting a good finish on plastic, but what to do on wood at this scale is a bit new to me. Do I need to use a wood specific primer or can I use a plastic model primer I have on hand such as vallejo or badger stynalrez? For vanish again do I need to use wood specific ones or can I use hobby plastic model varnishes such as vallejo?

    It looks awesome Derek. Also as a new entrant to the hobby the log is really helpful in breaking down some of the many challenges that are faced in completing a project like this.

    Looks awesome, I just ordered the Alert as my first attempt at a wooden model (have done lots of sculpting, painting and modeling in plastic up to this point). I will be following along with your log as I attempt to build it.

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.
