    Would love to mark you both as the solution thank you! I've glued each one with CA glue. My wife actually has barkeepers friends copper stuff, so I will give that a shot first. Thank you both for your answers! I know they were weathered in real life, but I want mine to be shiny

    Hello all, I'm working on the Amati Pegasus Kit right now. It's my third-ever kit, and first with copper plating. I coppered one side, and then... along came a baby. The kit has sat for 7 months and unfortunately has developed some ugly tarnish on the finished side. I was planning on varnishing it all nice a shiny for display. Is there any way I can remove the tarnish and restore its shine? Please ignore the ineptitude of my handiwork, I tried my best

    Well thank you all for the tips and advice. I decided to take off all the planks done so far. I should have just enough to try again. So I'll try following the tutorial and adding that lateral bend.

    Thank you both. I've watched those now and will start again. I was bending the planks with a hull bending tool from model shipways, alas I was not giving the planks a lateral bend. I will start doing that now and restart from the beginning. I will also mark off the bulkhead. I had measured the length of each bulkhead, divided by 5mm and had used that result as a guide on how to trim the planks. Now I need to go order more planks 😕 thanks again, Jamie (PS how did you know my name was Jamie?)

    Hi all. I'm building the Amati Lady Nelson. It's my second build. The first being the 18th century longboat. This time around on the first hull planking, I'm getting 'steps' on the bow. Photo attached. What am I doing wrong?

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.
