    I don't know about the Caldercraft version of the model, but I purchased the VM version and I am extremely happy with the quality of the kit, the very clear and detailed instructions and how beautiful the model is turning out. It is a fantastic kit for the less experienced model builder (like me) and gives you lots of confidence to continue to develop your skills in building wooden model ships.

    Hi Stuka, I had the same questions about where specifically to apply the glue to the bulwarks in building my Sherbourne. Craig has correctly stated how to approach it. Good work so far, and I will be following to see how you progress.

    Thanks James for that great clarification. I was asking the same question about gluing the bulwarks on my Sherbourne kit, and your response was exactly what I was needing to hear.

    Thanks Robert, I will give that approach a try. Paddy.

    Thank you for the info on this. I was thinking that trying to remove the upper part of the bulkheads after gluing them would really cause issues with the inner side of the bulwark when I go to install the finished pieces over top. Paddy

    Hello Robert, I just received my kit of the Sherbourne and am following along with your build. This is a fantastic kit! You are doing a great job and I am learning quite a bit. I have a question for you regarding gluing on the first layer plywood bulwarks. When you glued them on, did you also apply glue to the upper part of the bulkhead frames that sit above the deck or did you just apply glue along the lower edges of the bulwark? I know that in the coming steps, I have to remove the upper parts of the bulkheads (above the deck) and am thinking if the bulwark is glued to them, then it is going to be very difficult to remove cleanly so that I can apply the inner finished bulwark pieces. Appreciate your insight on this as I don't want to make a mistake on attaching the bulwarks that might create other issues. Paddy

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.
